Download or read book The Complete Technology Book on Hot Rolling of Steel written by Niir Board Of Consultants & Engineers and published by National Institute of Industrial Re. This book was released on 2005* with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the cold rolling of non-ferrous materials has been practiced since the fourteenth century, the hot rolling of steel was begun in the latter half of the seventeenth century or just over 300 years ago. The subject of hot rolling is broad enough even if confined solely to the deformation processes themselves. However, many of the problems occurring in hot rolling originate in earlier processes, such as casting, soaking and the conditioning and reheating of semi finished products. For this reason, it was felt desirable to discuss these topics in some detail in this book. It is hoped that this book will be very useful for researchers, design engineers, personnel responsible for the operation of hot rolling mills, purchasing agents, technocrats, new entrepreneurs etc.
