Steel Making and Rolling (Metalworking): Process & Applications, Rod and Bar...Ajjay Kumar Gupta
The steel industry has taken note of the continued growth in steel imports and a number of projects have been planned and are under implementation.In rolling mills, intermediate steel products are given their final shape and dimension in a series of shaping and finishing operations. Rolling of steel is one of the most important manufacturing processes for steel. It is usually the first step in the processing of steel after it is made and cast either in Ingot or continuous cast product in a steel melting shop.

The worm gears are widely used for transmitting power at high velocity ratios between non-intersecting shafts that are generally, but not necessarily, at right angles.
It can give velocity ratios as high as 300 : 1 or more in a single step in a minimum of space, but it has a lower efficiency.
The machine design may be classified as follows :
Adaptive design. In most cases, the designer’s work is concerned with adaptation of existing designs. This type of design needs no special knowledge or skill and can be attempted by designers of ordinary technical training. The designer only makes minor alternation or modification in the existing designs of the product.
Development design. This type of design needs considerable scientific training and design ability in order to modify the
existing designs into a new idea by adopting a new material or different method of manufacture. In this case, though the
designer starts from the existing design, but the final product may differ quite markedly from the original product.
New design. This type of design needs lot of research, technical ability and creative thinking. Only those designers who have personal qualities of a sufficiently high order can take up the work of a new design.
The designs, depending upon the methods used, may be classified as follows :
Rational design. This type of design depends upon mathematical formulae of principle of mechanics.
Empirical design. This type of design depends upon empirical formulae based on the practice and past experience.
Industrial design. This type of design depends upon the production aspects to manufacture any machine component in the industry.
Optimum design. It is the best design for the given objective function under the specified constraints. It may be achieved by minimising the undesirable effects.
System design. It is the design of any complex mechanical system like a motor car.
Element design. It is the design of any element of the mechanical system like piston, crankshaft, connecting rod, etc.
Computer aided design. This type of design depends upon the use of computer systems to assist in the creation, modification, analysis and optimisation of a design.
Classification of Engineering Materials
The engineering materials are mainly classified as :
Metals and their alloys, such as iron, steel, copper, Aluminium, etc.
Non-metals, such as glass, rubber, plastic, etc.
The metals may be further classified as :
(a) Ferrous metals, and (b) Non-ferrous metals.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Ansar Hussain Rizvi
Ansar Hussain Rizvi
2. What Roll Pass Designers do?
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Design a new mill for rolling given types and size ranges of products. Input
variables include annual production tonnage and product mix, input billet size,
and product material and grades. The roll designer will pick the number and size
of stands, the reductions at each stand, size motors and drive systems, and
design the grooves and roll barrel layouts to provide the most cost effective
method of producing the given products.
Design a new product to roll on an existing mill. Creating the rolling plan,
calculating the power and roll loads, and analyzing the suitability of the
equipment to provide the necessary power and torque and withstand the rolling
loads.
Extend the size range of products already rolled on an existing mill. For example,
providing a design for 8 mm X 3 rebar on a mill that already rolls 10 mm X 2
rebars.
Redesigning passes of an existing product to roll the same cross section out of a
different material.
Redesigning roughing or intermediate passes to feed several sizes and shapes in
the finishing train.
Ansar Hussain Rizvi
3. Draft
Draft is the reduction in bar height in the pass.
Absolute draft is expressed in linear units and is the difference between the
entry height and exit height of the stock.
hin = incoming bar thickness
hout = delivered bar thickness
Da = absolute draft
hin - hout = Da = Δh
Relative draft is the reduction in height expressed as a percentage of the
entry height.
Dr = relative ( % ) draft
[ ( hin - hout ) / hin ] x 100 = Dr
Ansar Hussain Rizvi
4. Elongation
Elongation is the increase in length of the stock due to the reduction in area.
Elongation usually defines the total elongation from billet to product, or in a
specific section of the mill, for example the roughing mill or finishing block.
Ain = beginning cross sectional area
Aout = ending cross sectional area
Et = total elongation
Ain / Aout = Et
Ansar Hussain Rizvi
5. Average Elongation
Average elongation is the average elongation per stand through the whole
mill. It can also be applied to certain sections of the mill, e.g., the average
reduction through the roughing mill.
Ea = average elongation
n = number of passes
n√ ( Ain / Aout ) = Eave
The billet elongates or gets longer after each pass. The total volume of the
bar remains the same. If the cross section of the bar is reduced, then the
length must increase. Therefore the final bar length (L final) is the billet length
(Lbillet) multiplied by the average elongation multiplied by the number of
stands:
Lfinal = Lbillet x Ea(Stand 1) x Ea (Stand 2) x Ea (Stand 3) x Ea (Stand 4) x ..... Ea (Stand n)
Lfinal = Lbillet x Ea(Number of Stands)
Ansar Hussain Rizvi
6. Reduction
Reduction is the decrease in area from stand to stand and is expressed as a
percentage of the entry area.
[ ( Ain - Aout ) / Ain ] x 100 = R
Average reduction is the average reduction per stand through the whole mill,
or through certain sections of the mill, e.g., the average reduction through
the roughing mill.
[ 1 - ( 1 / ( n√ ( Ain / Aout ) ) ] x 100 = Rave
Given that the reduction is the percent change in cross sectional area:
R = [ ( Ain - Aout ) / Ain ] x 100
R = [ ( Ain / Ain - Aout / Ain) ] x 100
R = [ ( 1 - Aout / Ain) ] x 100
Ansar Hussain Rizvi
7. Reduction
Given that the elongation is area in divided by area out:
E = Ain / Aout
1 / E = Aout / Ain
Therefore elongation and reduction are related by the following formula:
[ 1 - ( 1 / E ) ] x 100 = R
Average reduction and elongation:
[ 1 - ( 1 / Eave ) ] x 100 = Rave
Ansar Hussain Rizvi
8. Spread
Absolute Spread is the change in width between the stock entering and
leaving a stand.
bin = input width
bout = delivered width
Δb = spread
bout - bin = Δb
Spread is dependent on several factors including
•draft,
•roll diameter,
•stock temperature,
•roll material,
•and material being rolled
For a given stock size and reduction, the bigger the roll diameter the greater
the spread; the lower the temperature, the greater the spread .
Ansar Hussain Rizvi
9. Spread – Cond.
Formulae for calculating spread
øn = new roll diameter
ød = discard roll diameter
Rn = new roll radius
Rd = discard roll radius
Tafel and Sedlaczak
Δb = ( Δh x bin x √( bin x Rn ) ) / ( 3 x ( bin2 + ( hin x hout ) )
Koncewicz
Δb = 0.66 x ( Δh / ( hin x hout ) ) x √( Δh x Rn ) )
Wusatowski
d = øn0.556
∂ = -10-1.269 x ( bin / hin ) x d
bout = bin x ( hout / hin ) ∂
Ansar Hussain Rizvi
10. Contact Angle
The enclosed angle between a line from the point where the stock first
contacts the roll to the center of the roll and the vertical centerline of the
rolls is the angle of contact(sometimes referred to as the bite angle).
For a given roll diameter and gap setting, the contact angle will increase as
the incoming stock height increases until a point is reached where the rolls
will not grip, or ‘bite’ the stock.
The limiting bite angle will depend upon the friction between the stock and
the rolls. The friction at the roll bar interface is dependent on:
– roll material,
– stock grade,
– bar temperature,
– roll speed,
– and the surface condition of the roll.
Ansar Hussain Rizvi
11. Contact Angle
The greater the coefficient of friction between the bar and the roll, the
greater the possible bite angle. The problem of bite usually occurs in the
roughing mill.
Contact Angle
g = gap or roll parting at collar
Ca = cos-1 [ ( ød / 2 + gap - hout - ( Δh / 2) ) / ( ød / 2 + gap - hout ) ]
Ansar Hussain Rizvi
12. Coefficient of Friction
The maximum bite angle is related to the coefficient of friction. The following
formulae calculate the coefficient of friction based on the temperature of the
bar.
Coefficient of Friction
For steel rolls:
T = bar temperature ( °F )
μ = 1.06 - (0.000278 x T )
For iron rolls:
μ = 0.8 x ( 1.06 - (0.000278 x T ) )
Maximum Bite Angle
Cmax = tan-1 ( u )
Ansar Hussain Rizvi
13. Maximum Possible Bite
Angle
The maximum possible
bite angle is illustrated in
figure, showing a freebody diagram
of the forces acting upon a
bar entering a pass. As can
be seen by the large roll
bite on the right, the
resultant force pulling the
bar into the roll bite is
reversed into a
force pushing the bar out.
This force is equal to zero
at the inverse tangent of
the coefficient
of friction.
Ansar Hussain Rizvi
14. Contact Area
A line along the centerline
of the groove from the
point where the stock first
makes contact with the
roll, to the point where the
stock exits the groove is
the arc of contact.
Projected Contact Area
The projected area of
contact is the area of
contact described,
projected onto the
horizontal rolling plane at
the centerline of the bar.
Ansar Hussain Rizvi
15. Area of Contact
The area of contact can be
geometrically constructed
by the method shown
here.
Projected Area of Contact
r = radius of roll at bottom
of pass
bm = mean width of stock
ACp = (√r (hin – hout)) * bm
Ansar Hussain Rizvi
16. Effective Diameter
•
•
•
The roll rotates at constant speed, therefore the rotational speed
( revolutions per minute or RPM ) at any given point in the roll groove
remains constant.
In grooved rolls the surface speed ( feet per minute or meters per
second ) at the bottom of the groove is less than the surface speed at the
top of the groove where the diameter of the roll is larger. Since all points
on the surface of the stock leave the rolls at the same speed the speed of
the stock will be faster than the roll speed at the bottom of the groove,
but slower than the speed of the roll at the top of the pass. At some point
in between the speed of the roll and the speed of the stock at the exit
plane will be equal.
The roll radius at this point is known as the effective radius. The
corresponding diameter is known as the effective diameter or working
diameter.
Ansar Hussain Rizvi
17. Effective Diameter
•
We need the area and delivered width to find the height of an equivalent
flat bar. Using this thickness the work diameter is:
– t = Aout / bout
– øw = øc + g - t
•
This diameter is used in speed calculations.
Ansar Hussain Rizvi
18. Forward Slip
If a piece of hot steel is placed in a press and reduced in height, it spreads in
the other two dimensions. Similarly when a hot bar is worked between two
rolls, it spreads in the pass filling the pass and it pushes out in the direction of
rolling ( forward slip )and backwards in the direction of the incoming stock
(backward slip). This phenomenon is also called ‘the extrusion effect’.
Forward slip must be added to the bar speed to calculate roll speed for
tension free rolling at high speeds in rods.
h1 = entering height
h2 = delivered height
da = average roll diameter
μ = 1.05 - 0.0005 * t (℃)
Ansar Hussain Rizvi
19. Neutral Point
•
•
•
•
When the stock is in the pass, the cross-sectional area is reduced as it
moves through the roll gap.
The velocity of the bar must therefore increase as it passes between the
rolls.
When the stock exits the roll gap, the speed of the bar exceeds the
peripheral speed of the roll.
As the bar speed increases between the point of entry and point of exit
there will be a point where the speeds coincide. This is the neutral point.
Ansar Hussain Rizvi
20. Separating Force
•
•
•
•
The deformation process in the roll gap creates a force that pushes the
rolls apart. This is called the separating force or rolling load.
Factors influencing the magnitude of this force include:
– the material being rolled,
– its temperature,
– the rate at which the material is being compressed,
– the diameter of the rolls,
– and the reduction taken in the pass.
There are two methods of calculating the separating force.
Starting with the resistance to deformation we calculate the separating
force based on the area of contact. The units of resistance to deformation
are force per unit area. Figure below illustrates this force applied to the
rolls when rolling flats.
Ansar Hussain Rizvi
22. Separating Force
•
Starting with the motor power required, we calculate the torque from
the roll RPM, the separating force using the moment arm from the centre
of the contact area to find the separating force.
Ansar Hussain Rizvi
23. Torque
•
•
The torque is calculated by using
the centroid of the contact area
as the point where the separating
force is applied.
The distance from the roll centre
to the centre of the contact area
is the moment arm.
–
–
–
–
F = separating force
d = moment arm
Τ=Fxd
Power is work per unit time. Torque
is rotational work, rotation rate
( RPM ) is the rate the work is
applied. Starting at the motor, the
torque is found using the roll RPM.
Ansar Hussain Rizvi
–
–
–
–
–
RRPM = roll RPM
P = motor power
For metric units:
P = ( Tt * RRPM ) / 9.55
Tt = ( P * 9.55 ) / RRPM
24. Flow Stress
• Flow stress is a measurement of the stress required to
produce strain, or flow, during metal deformation. The
units of flow stress are kgf/mm2, or force per unit area.
• The x-axis is natural strain εn:
• εn = ln ( hin / hout )
Ansar Hussain Rizvi
25. Flow Stress
• Several curves are shown for different strain rates at
different temperatures. Strain rate is the rate at which
the deformation takes place.
– V = delivered bar speed
– R = roll radius
– Strain rate ν = [ V / ( √ ( R x Δh ) ] x ε n
Ansar Hussain Rizvi
27. Power Curves
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The power curve method of determining the motor power required to roll
a product is the most direct use of empirical mill data.
The curves graph power against elongation.
The units of power are horsepower ( HP ) per ton per hour or HP hour /
ton.
The x-axis is elongation.
To develop a power curve for rounds, we know the area of the bar as it
progresses from the mill, from either the pass schedule, mill
measurements, or samples.
The power is read from the volts and amps at the motor.
The production rate is calculated from the motor RPM.
At each stand we then have the power, elongation, and production rate.
Ansar Hussain Rizvi
28. Power Curves
•
•
•
•
The elongation is cumulative, that is the total elongation at each stand
from the starting billet. The power is also cumulative, but is divided by the
production rate to get HP per ton per hour ( HPHT ).
To make the curve fit on a single sheet, and to make the curve smooth,
we use a semi-log graph as shown above. the first ten divisions along the
x-axis are 1 to10, the second 10 are 10 to 100, and the third group is 100
to 1000.
To use the power curve to predict rolling power for a new product, we
develop the rolling schedule for the product, calculating the total
elongation at each stand.
We then look along the x-axis for the first stand elongation. Following up
this line to the round curve, for example, we look across to find the HP per
ton per hour. Multiplying this value by the rolling rate gives the power for
stand one.
Ansar Hussain Rizvi
The average reduction is used to decide on the number of stands in the mill, or the number of stands to use when rolling a certain product. An acceptable average reduction is dependent on the type of mill and the product mix. For example, in a low quality mill where the product is predominantly rebar, a high average reduction can be used. On the other hand, a special bar quality (SBQ) mill rolling to a tight tolerance, or rolling a mixture of alloy steels, tool steels and high temperature alloys would require a low average reduction.
The average reduction is used to decide on the number of stands in the mill, or the number of stands to use when rolling a certain product. An acceptable average reduction is dependent on the type of mill and the product mix. For example, in a low quality mill where the product is predominantly rebar, a high average reduction can be used. On the other hand, a special bar quality (SBQ) mill rolling to a tight tolerance, or rolling a mixture of alloy steels, tool steels and high temperature alloys would require a low average reduction.
Having the strain rate, bar temperature, and grade, we use the graph for the correct
steel grade, look for the curves at the temperature closest to case at hand, then look
across the x-axis for the natural strain, then up to the curve and across to the flow
stress value. This is the flow stress σ we use to determine the separating force.
