temper rolling or skin pass rolling is one of cold rolling processes composed of a horizontal pass cold rolling mill stand. in this process, the thick strip is subjected to very light reduction (0.5–4%) in thickness in the presence of high friction amplitudes. one of the basic parameters of strip rolling processes is temper rolling force. a new rolling force model has been proposed for temper r...

To determine the force and energy parameters of cold roll-beating external splines, characteristics deformation zone in are analysed. The geometric dimensions position change with movement roller, contact arc, reduction very small, there is an incomplete initial stage roll-beating. A discrete analytical method for calculating unit pressure proposed, process discretized into infinite number cold...

In the present study, high-speed steel (HSS)/ductile cast iron (DCI) composite roll was manufactured by electroslag remelting cladding (ESRC) technology. The compositional variation, grain size, microstructure, hardness, and tensile strength of HSS layer bimetallic interface were investigated systematically. obtained results illustrated that chemical composition (HSS) changed dramatically due t...

Traceability and tracking activity are increasing significantly, since underlying technology such as GPRS/UMTS and satellite positioning is mature and ready for widespread market traceability solutions. This paper focuses on the roll-out of the Cold-Trace solution by Disfrimur, a leading transport company based in Spain. Cold-Trace is a unique, integrated solution based on mobile communications...
