Application of hot roiling oil lubrication technology was broadened to the field of RM stands of Hot Rolling Mill at Pohang works. The primary object was to improve the quality of the strip sttrface and the rolls by oil lubrication in hot rolling process. Prior to the actual field application preliminary test was conducted to evaluate the effect of hot rolling oil lubrication at RM stands. From the test, it has been found that the use of oil lubrication tends to prevent the progression of the heat cracks and thereby increases the quality of the strip surface and the wear life of the rolls. New hot rolling oil lubrication system was applied to the RM stands VSB, R1, R2, R3, R4 and edger rolls. With the introduction of a rolling lubricant, the quality of the strip surface and rolls was improved and overall roll dressing has decreased. Also there has been a improvement of productivity from the long roll life.

In plate mill studies on crop decrease of the top and bottom ends of hot rolled plate have been performed. The plane view shape for the thin plate after broadside rolling was controlled by roll gap difference with AGC in broadside rolling process. New models for thin slab after broadside rolling have been formulated based on the actual production rolling data to give optimal rolling condition A new plate rolling method called by dog bone rolling has been applied making it is possible to prevent non-uniform plastic deformation at top and bottom ends. By new rolling method crop losses of rolled plate have been improved by 10% on average with an effective fishtail crop shape.

Current steel makers are trying to develop new manufacturing process to secure price competition and to improve productivity by testing a various kinds of rolling condition of several kinds of steel at TCM. Accordingly, Reverse Mill operation for Stainless steel is changing to TCM operation and furthermore, even general carbon steel and electric steel plate are requested to be worked at TCM simultaneously. By these changing of rolling condition, it become to be necessary to develop new water-soluble cold rolling oil that has a characteristics to be suitable for various working condition and in this report, we would like to mention lubrication condition to fulfill requested characteristics of each steels and development and applying result of multi-purpose water-soluble cold rolling oil which has such an lubrication property.

In this study, multilayered rings with a large outer diameter have been developed using a hot ring rolling process. The ring rolling process has been analyzed by rigid plastic finite element analyses (FEA) using the AFDEX2D and AFDEX3D/HEXA/RING simulators, where the finite element meshes received severe plastic deformation are remeshed into a fine mesh-size using a dual-mesh system. According to the simulated results, the design variables of the multilayered rings were determined and real tests were conducted to check the validity of the simulation results. By adopting the hot ring rolling process, the input weight of raw materials was reduced by 40% against the conventional hot forging process and that the recovery rate was increased by 24%. The measurement of the averaged roundness was satisfied within 0.5 mm for both the inner and outer diameters. Moreover, the hot ring rolling processes yielded 1.49 Cpk for the outer-diameter and 0.84 Cpk 0.84 for the inner-diameter.

At 21st century, material development concepts were changed to fulfill the environmental friendly demands. This study is to study the effect of pressurized nitrogen gas and manganese in high nitrogen austenitic stainless steel(HNS) in which N and Mn elements substitute the nickel element. 100kg HNS ingots were made by Pressurized Vacuum Induction Melting(P-VIM) and were forged according to free forging process. As forged HNS were hot and cold rolled by pilot scale rolling machine. Depending on the rolling condition, the mechanical properties of HNS were changed. The roll thrust and sheet folding showed asymmetry condition between work and drive side during cold and hot rolling. The purpose of this study are to improve workability the hot and cold rolling machine and to set the conditions for establishing the rolling process.

A series of finite element analyses of the rolling process were performed and a neural network algorithm was employed to calculate the amount of ski-effect for an arbitrary thickness of incoming material in the roll gap. Pilot hot plate rolling tests were also conducted to verify the usefulness of the finite element analyzes conducted in this study. In these experiments, plates with thicknesses varying from 25 to 65 mm were tested. In addition, a number of rolling reductions of up to 31% were examined. Finally, a number of circumferential upper and lower rolls were investigated. Experimental validations demonstrated that the neural network algorithm predicted the proper amount of ski when rolling conditions(material thickness, reduction ratio, roll velocity differential) changed arbitrarily.

The effects of aging treatment sequence, specifically pre-aging and post-aging, on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu aluminum alloys has been studied in comparison to symmetrically rolled specimens. In symmetrically rolled specimens, a straight-band precipitation distribution was observed, whereas asymmetrically rolled specimens exhibited a curved-band microstructure of fine precipitates. Notably, the asymmetrically rolled specimens displayed higher strengths. In the case of post-aging, the aging process occurred after rolling, and the dislocations generated during rolling acted as nucleation sites for precipitates during aging. This resulted in the formation of fine precipitates, contributing to improved mechanical properties compared to symmetric rolling. To enhance strength of the Al-Zn-Mg-Cu aluminum alloys, asymmetric rolling proves to be more effective than symmetric rolling, with post-aging showing greater efficacy than pre-aging.

AHydrogen induced cracking (HIC) was phenomenologically studied in terms of the effect of nonmetallic inclusions and hot rolling process parameters. By comparing the level of non-metallic inclusions in two different kinds of commercial grade steels having different HIC resistance, the role of non-metallic inclusions in HIC occurrence was investigated. Change in inclusion morphology and distribution during hot rolling was also studied throughout slab, rolling at austenite recrystallization region (roughing mill; RM) and rolling at austenite non-recrystallization region (finish mill; FM). In addition, the contribution of RM and FM parameters to HIC was investigated from the standpoint of change in inclusion morphology during hot rolling processes. As a result, HIC was closely related to the separation of large complex inclusion during hot rolling process. Large complex inclusions originated from the improper Ca treatment, after which equilibrium composition of slag should have resulted in eutectoid composition. By controlling the equilibrium slag composition equivalent to eutectoid one, HIC resistance could be improved due to the reduced size of inclusions. In addition, change in reduction/pass in RM had an effect on HIC resistance of steels while that in FM did not. Increase in the reduction/pass in the latter stage of RM improved HIC resistance of steels by enhancing the void enclosure around inclusions.

On-line prediction model which calculate roll force, roll power and forward slip of continuous hot strip rolling was built based on the results of plane strait rigid-viscoplastic finite element process model. Using the integrated FE process model, a series of finite element simulation was conducted over the process variables, and the influence of various process conditions on non-dimensional parameters was inspected. The prediction accuracy of the proposed on-line model under front and back tension is examined through comparison with predictions from a finite element process model over the various process conditions. In addition, we examined the validity of the on-line prediction model through comparison with roll force of experiment in hot rolling.
