When it comes to metal rolling, understanding and controlling
frictional phenomena is essential to improving product and
developing a more effective approach to friction reduction.
Providing a historical perspective that goes as far back as the
days of Leonardo da Vinci and continues up until the present day,
Friction and the Hot Rolling of Steel chronicles the fundamental
causes of friction. This book includes well-documented, on-site
observations in various commercial plants, presents and examines
practical problems, and provides a critical analysis of literary
data related to the subject. It explains the base mechanisms of
friction, and offers insight and instruction on improving the
control and understanding of friction in hot strip mills and other
industrial plants. The text presents mathematical models of
friction in control and general engineering in a way that enables
engineers to test and refine them in their plants. Engineers have
the ability to use them to control friction and minimize its
negative effects, particularly as it relates to energy waste and
product defects. Organized into four sections, this book outlines
the evolutional concepts of friction, and covers the general
phenomena relevant to the rolling of metals. This includes the
impact of roughness and velocity, basics of liquid and solid
lubrication, mathematical modelling, and the properties of
materials that affect friction in steel rolling, such as metals,
oxides, and carbides. It connects the theoretical concepts,
laboratory-scale observations, and phenomena in other areas of
science and engineering to the large-scale industrial process of
hot rolling. It also addresses roll properties, oxidation, wear and
chemical composition of rolls and their impact on friction, the
evolution of friction over schedules and roll campaigns, and
mathematical modelling of friction in hot rolling. Friction and the
Hot Rolling of Steel contains a large body of technical information
that includes various chemical and physical properties of relevant
materials, mathematical models, and plant and laboratory
observations. It also provides an extensive reference list of
sources that address specific problems and interests in more
detail. Presents practical problems that help academics and
industrial researchers to identify promising new research areas in
tribology and metal processing Offers an insight into the
principles of the effective research that combines both academic
excellence and industrial relevance Illustrates with observations
and easy-to-understand analogies, enhancing the understanding and
control of the mechanisms that influence friction in industrial
plants This text services technical, research, and academic
personnel working in steel processing, railway engineering, rolling
of other metals, solid lubrication, the automotive industry, and
more.
