Development of systems to aid flexible rolling of long products to close tolerances by on-line calculation of loaded roll gap, control of stand speeds and reheat

Objective

The objective of this project is to develop means of achieving improved tolerances for long products given the trend of more demanding rolling schedules with frequent changes. This will provide competitive advantage in the future where the ability to roll profitably small orders of highly specified material to close tolerances will be crucial. This will be achieved by a novel combination of mill sensors and process models to control key parameters: loaded roll gaps, inter-stand tensions and stock temperatures. Each partner will initially focus on one control parameter; the project will then draw these strands together by proposing on-line control schemes.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.
