Funded under

• Medium-term guidelines for the ECSC steel RTD programme of research and pilot/demonstration projects, 1996-2002

Total cost € 1 060 500,00

EU contribution € 636 300,00

Objective

The objectives of this research project are to obtain information on the influence of friction and lubrication, the wear behaviour and roughness of work rolls in hot-strip rolling operations. Alternative rolling strategies will also be developed to improve roll service life, pickling properties and to minimize vibrations and chatter. Monitoring systems will be devised and tested for roll wear and other relevant process parameters, especially dynamic plant behaviour.
