Technologies of Roll Pass Design and Mill Operation Strategy

Introduction

We are offering a five-days Roll Pass and Mill Operations training course. During this time we will cover the basics of metal deformation, the rolling of steel, and Roll Pass Design concepts. The course will provide the participants with the theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and confidence to deal with day-to-day roll pass, quality, and production issues. Engineers and mill operators typically learn their craft in the mill from the more experienced workers. Rarely does the opportunity arise for the ability to step back and analyze the rolling process without the pressure of the production environment. This course offers that chance. We will study the roll pass design, equipment, and methods used in the production of hot rolled steel

Objectives

    Upon the successful completion of this program, participants will be able to:-

    • Develop a good understanding of roll pass design and mill operation
    • Apply proper techniques, tools, and procedures on roll pass design and mill operations.
    • Review and update knowledge on hot rolling concepts and the metallurgy of rolling for ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
    • Identify the characteristics of flat pass design through its types of flat products and their tolerances.
    • Evaluate rolling mill arrangements and mill layouts including various equipment considerations.
    • Become familiar with the hot rolling concepts and the metallurgy of rolling for ferrous and non-ferrous metals
    • Determine the different elements of roll pass design according to power, torque, and separating force calculation
    • Know the rolling mill arrangements and mill layouts including various equipment considerations
    • Become aware of the characteristics of flat pass design through its types of flat products and their tolerances
    • Recognize the aspects of rounds and rod pass designs and become acquainted with round rolling sequences
    • Characterize the various types of angles as well as several angle products and their tolerances
    • Enhance knowledge on beams and channels through their products, tolerances, and sequences
    • Apply several guiding and troubleshooting techniques in roll pass design and mill operation

Training Methodology

The format for this course will include both lectures and practical instruction. In the lecture-style portion, we will study the scientific, metallurgical, and mathematical aspects of hot rolling while in the “hands-on” portion, we will answer specific questions related to steel production and create solutions for actual mill problems. The schedule is flexible and time will be available to address actual issues from the mills represented.

Who Should Attend?

The program has been developed for those interested or involved in the hot rolling of steel. Typical participants will include roll pass designers, mill engineers, guide and set-up shop personnel, mill operators, and mill management personnel.
