Objective On the one hand, this research project will investigate the problem of skin pass rolling by examining the correlation between all the relevant parameters which influence strip geometry and mechanical characteristics. A special approach will be adopted to determine those relationships required to control rolling force through a neural network.On the other hand, the minimum or optimum values of the yield point are to be determined for those steels with an upper and lower yield point, by measuring the rolling force changes while modifying the roll adjustment. Moreover, the degree of skin pass rolling is to be determined by means of a magnetic measuring method providing greater accuracy than those methods currently in use.
