ONLINE SOFTWARE
Roll Design: AutoForm
With its full-automatic, easy-to-use features, only need basic operation parameters are needed to be filled to the web form, and the system will run the loop for trial-and-error to design every parameter (http://www.metalpass.com/rolldesign). Applications consist of
- Round-Oval-Round (2 Passes)
- Square-Diamond-Square (2 Passes)
- Billet-Box-Square-Oval-Round (4-pass roughing train)
Roll Design: FreeForm
Provides full freedom of trial-and-error design for the pass and groove parameters. For every trial, the system calculates spread, forward slip, roll RPM, and all other critical parameters. Two packages are currently available (http://www.metalpass.com/freeform):
- Round-Oval-Round (Up to 30 Passes)
- Square-Diamond-Square (Up to 30 Passes)
Rolling Mill Load and Power Requirements
9 programs, covers Round, Oval, Square, Box, Square, Diamond sequences and General Passes (http://www.metalpass.com/millload).
Temperature during Rolling and Controlled Cooling
Finite-Differential Method for rod cross-sectional temperature profile over time and length, during rolling, water box cooling and air cooling (http://www.metalpass.com/cool).
SOFTWARE DATABASE
