Start date 1 July 1996

End date 30 June 1999

Funded under

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

Total cost € 1 452 500,00

EU contribution € 871 500,00

Objective

It is often impossible during cold rolling operations to achieve the required stress distribution due to limitations in the operating range of the control actuators and in automatic presetting techniques. This project aims to reduce operating costs through theoretical mathematical analyses, computer simulation and practical testing on different cold rolling mills in order to determine ways of improving strip flatness control and productivity.
