Description
Short description:
Understand how TMCR and mill configurations influence schedule design, throughput, and product quality in plate rolling.
Long description:
This module focuses on the operational structure and scheduling logic of modern plate rolling mills. It introduces learners to the principles of Thermo-Mechanical Controlled Rolling (TMCR), explaining how temperature, deformation, and process timing are coordinated to enhance steel properties. The module compares one-stand and two-stand mill layouts, with special attention to their impact on scheduling, product throughput, and mechanical characteristics. Learners examine the sequence of passes, interpass delays, and interleaving techniques, as well as how precise control of these variables ensures mechanical performance targets. Emphasis is placed on decision-making strategies in mill setup for optimal efficiency and metallurgical outcomes.
What you will learn
- Describe the principles and benefits of Thermo-Mechanical Controlled Rolling (TMCR) in steel plate production.
- Compare one-stand and two-stand plate mills in terms of rolling sequence, scheduling, and output quality.
- Apply interleaving techniques to optimize mill use and minimize idle time between passes.
- Analyze the effect of interpass time and cooling rates on TMCR outcomes and product properties.
- Evaluate decision factors used in mill setup and pass design for targeted mechanical performance.
