Objective
The objectives of the project are to determine ways of improving rolled strip surface quality and geometry. Mathematical modelling will be applied to track the evolution of surface defects and evaluate alternative rolling sequences. An automatic, on-line system for surface defect diagnosis will be developed, installed and assessed in a hot strip mill. Friction, descaling practices, secondary scale formation, roll gap lubrication and strip surface cooling will be investigated by means of laboratory experiments and mill trials in order to determine the optimum conditions. The influence of friction on rolling load and, hence, on strip geometry will be investigated
