High-Quality Steel Rolling: Theory and Practice

Part 1 Geometry of flat-rolled products: definitions of geometrical parameters standardization and quality requirements standard dimensional tolerances statistical and analytical dimensional tolerances. Part 2 Principles of measurement: definitons of basic metrological terms transducers and sensors principles of signal treatment. Part 3 Gauge control in rolling mills: causes of gauge variation automatic gauge control systems dynamic characteristics of roll gap control systems causes and effects of roll eccentricity methods of roll eccentricity compensation. Part 4 Width control in rolling: theory of width change methods of width change by casting and rolling methods of width change by pressing optimization of the width change process automatic width and plan view control systems. Part 5 Theory of strip profile and flatness: effect of roll deformation on strip profile effect of roll thermal expansion and wear on strip profile strip profile and flatness analysis roll bending analysis. Part 6 Strip profile and flatness control: roll bending systems roll shifting and cross systems rolls with specific profiles flexible edge rolls strip profile and flatness sensors automatic strip profile and flatness control systems.
