Advances in Rolling Equipment and Technologies II

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).This work describes the latest advances in, and applications of, advanced rolling equipment and technology. The peer-reviewed articles cover a broad range of topics: advanced rolling processes, equipment and technologies of strip and plate; special rolling equipment and technologies; advanced shearing and straightening equipment and technologies; advanced testing instruments for rolling, shearing, leveling processes and rolled-metal quality; advanced automatic control technologies for rolling, shearing and leveling processes; mathematical modeling and numerical simulation of rolling, shearing and leveling processes; assembly and maintenance of rolling equipment. This book will be a useful reference for professionals working in the field of rolling equipment technology.Metal rolling equipment and technologies are central to making various projects of plates, sheets, strips, bars, and wires, but designers and manufactures of such equipment are having to deal with scarcity in both materials and energy. The 73 selected and peer-reviewed papers cover applied fundamentals, rolling technologies, materials science and processing, leveling and shearing technologies, testing technologies, and related research and development. Among specific topics are new methods of quality control systems on strip rolling mills, a predictive model of plate camber, cooling process of die steel during on-line pre-hardening, design parameters of whole-roll shape detecting roll, and a multi-level material service safety assessment system.
