Full disclaimer.Who should attend
This course is ideal for iron and steel industry production personnel such as managers, engineers, superintendents, supervisors, foremen and senior technicians. The course 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, and mill operators.
About the 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.
Course Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:
- Apply the latest Techniques, tools and Procedures on Roll Pass Design and mill Operation
- Review and updated knowledge on hot rolling concepts and the metallurgy of rolling for Ferrous
- Determine the different elements of roll pass design according to power, torque and separating force calculations
- Recognize the aspects of rounds and rod pass design & become acquainted with round rolling sequences
- Apply several guiding and troubleshooting techniques in roll pass design and mill operation
- Enhance knowledge on beams and channels through their products, tolerances and sequences
- Recognize the various types of angles as well as several angle products and their tolerances
