Introduction to Steel Rolling Mills
UN laminoir d'acier is a critical industrial facility that processes raw steel into standardized shapes such as plates, feuilles, barres, or coils. These mills utilize high-pressure rollers to deform and refine steel ingots or billets, achieving precise dimensions and improved mechanical properties. The process is central to industries like construction, automobile, et fabrication de machines.
Types of Steel Rolling Mills
Hot Rolling Mills operate at temperatures above the steel’s recrystallization point (typically 1,100°C), enabling large-scale shaping with reduced energy consumption. Cold Rolling Mills, in contrast, process steel at room temperature to produce thinner gauges with superior surface finishes. Other variants include:
- Plate Mills: For heavy-duty steel plates used in shipbuilding.
- Rod Mills: Producing wire rods for cables and fasteners.
- Tube Mills: Manufacturing seamless or welded pipes.
