Description
Short description:
Explore hot rolling processes for long steel products including rods, bars, sections, and rails, with focus on profile and dimensional control.
Long description:
This module focuses on the production of long steel products through hot rolling. Learners examine the transformation of semi-finished products—such as blooms and billets—into rods, bars, sections, and rails. The module outlines the structural and dimensional requirements of long products and the equipment used in their processing, including reheating furnaces, roughing mills, intermediate mills, and finishing stands. The instruction covers techniques for controlling product profile, material elongation, and temperature distribution during multi-stand rolling. Topics include coiling, cutting, and straightening, with attention to downstream applications and typical industry standards.
What you will learn
- Describe the hot rolling process of long products from bloom or billet to final form.
- Identify the structural and dimensional requirements of rods, bars, sections, and rails.
- Apply techniques for elongation control and temperature consistency in multi-stand rolling mills.
- Evaluate the function and configuration of equipment used in roughing, intermediate, and finishing stages.
- Recognize downstream operations such as coiling, cutting, and straightening, and their quality impact.
