The ultimate goal of a roll pass designer is to ensure the production of the desired shape of a product with the appropriate internal structure, defect free surface and at lowest cost . 21-Apr-09 Ansar Hussain Rizvi
Definite bar - intermediate pass = deformation Definite bar - intermediate pass definite bar = sequence 21-Apr-09 Ansar Hussain Rizvi
A round pass does not make a round bar, normally the word bar indicates a finished product (finished bar) 21-Apr-09 Ansar Hussain Rizvi
The deformation from I3 to C1 is a good example of square twisting, similarly when doing slit rolling, twisting of C6 square to enter into C7 dog bone pass is also the same case. 21-Apr-09 Ansar Hussain Rizvi

The purpose of bar rolling is to obtain a long product through changing its shape at each stand. The tri-dimensional deformation Spread, Elongation, Reduction 21-Apr-09 Ansar Hussain Rizvi
f = (1.05-0.0005t) – for steel rolls f = 0.8(1.05-0.0005t) – for cast iron rolls reducing a round into an oval pass is a 'tri-dimensional process' implying that (beyond the obvious elongation) a circular cross section, for example round 14, is reduced to an almost ellyptical 17x8 cross section. The ratio 17/14 (in this case 1.214) is called coefficient of spread (Beta). 21-Apr-09 Ansar Hussain Rizvi

For example, before the reheating furnace our billet has cross-sectional area (120*120)-0.86*(16*16)=14180 mm^2; after the furnace, area is 14180*1.013^2=14551 mm^2. For a billet, I wouldn't talk of 'reduced diagonal': I would simply say 'diagonal'. From formula (2), d=156.4 mm (cold) or 158.5 mm (hot). 21-Apr-09 Ansar Hussain Rizvi
