Hot Rolling of heavy plates and sections
Avoid high development costs for trials in an operating production line
Our services:
- Toll rolling for heavy plates up to 750 mm width and 5 m length in close cooperation with the customer.
- Cooling tests with laminar and spray cooling in a 5 m long cooling line with a flow rate of max. 10 m³/minute.
- Execution of rolling tests for the production-related determination of the influence of process parameters on the technological properties.
- Measurement data acquisition (iba-system) with subsequent analysis and evaluation of the rolling data.
- Determination of production characteristics for the design criteria of new hot rolling mills.
- Process models based on plasto-mechanical principles and special algorithms for the pass schedule strategies in hot rolling mills, e.g. in universal beam mills.
- Development and creation of software programs for the calculation of forming processes such as pass schedule models, rolling data calculation, temperature profiles, etc.
FEM-Simulation
Do you need support in the optimization of your pipe production or subsequent processing?
We analyze your forming process to optimize your product properties or process parameters. With our know-how from MANNESMANN® combined with modern finite element software we support you whether in seamless or welded pipe production.
Our expertise includes the rapid analysis of manufacturability of new formed components without complicated practical trials. We determine component geometry, required force, process conditions and tooling loads using realistic simulation models – already in the design phase. In addition, we analyze performance characteristics and can assess qualities such as weight reduction potential at an early stage » learn more
