Description
Short description:
Understand the rod and wire hot rolling process using high-speed continuous mills with focus on cooling, coiling, and dimensional precision.
Long description:
This module covers the hot rolling of rods and wire products, emphasizing continuous rolling systems and multi-stand high-speed mills. It details the transformation of billets into long, thin products used in wire drawing, reinforcing bars, and other applications. Learners examine the key steps in rod rolling, including reheating, roughing, intermediate rolling, and finishing with loopers and laying heads. Special attention is given to temperature control, rolling speed synchronization, and product cooling on controlled conveyor systems. The module also explores surface quality, dimensional tolerances, and coil formation for efficient handling and storage.
What you will learn
- Describe the transformation of billets into rods and wires through continuous hot rolling.
