Hot Rolling Mills
In metalworking, rolling is a metal forming process in which metal stock is preheated up to 1300°C (2400°F) and passed through rollers to reduce thickness. Hot rolling processes include pre-heating furnaces, scale breakers, slab scale, rough stand, finishing stand and cooling lines.
Application Need
Monitor the temperature in comparison to the recrystallization temperature to ensure product uniformity.
Benefits to the customer
- Monitor product (slab or billet) temperatures and verify the furnace control mathematical model, based on the thermal profile results
- Use IR spot pyrometers to ensure uniformity of temperature to reduce wear and tear on rollers and avoid excessive maintenance costs
- Use IR scanners to identify surface defects and avoid product quality issues and high reject costs
- Ensure optimum process efficiency, minimize energy consumption and maximize throughput
