Description
Short description:
Explore hot rolling of flat steel products, including plate and strip processes, finishing operations, and downstream applications.
Long description:
This module presents the hot rolling process for flat steel products, focusing on both plate and strip production. It covers the transformation of semi-finished products (such as slabs and thin slabs) into various flat forms, highlighting the role of reheat furnaces, descaling, rolling mills, and finishing units. Learners gain insight into the key distinctions between plate and strip manufacturing processes, including press sizing, cropping, finishing rolling, and coiling. Additional emphasis is placed on dimensional accuracy inspection and post-processing transformations such as pickling, oiling, and skin-pass rolling. The module concludes with an overview of downstream applications of rolled flat products, from welded tubes to cold-rolled sheets.
What you will learn
- Describe the rolling process for flat products from slabs to finished plates and strips.
- Differentiate between plate rolling and strip rolling based on equipment and product specifications.
- Analyze the role of finishing operations, including straightening, trimming, cutting, and quality control.
- Identify key inspection and treatment stages used to control dimensions and surface quality in hot-rolled strip.
- Classify final products derived from hot-rolled flat products and their post-processing transformations.
