Controlled 900-980°C ring rolling followed by no-reheat circularity correction preserves strain, inhibits AGG, and improves ring circularity.
Electromagnetic actuators replace hydraulic drives in hot rolling mills to remove oil-related fire risk, cut maintenance, and improve positioning.
Controlled ring rolling and no-reheat circularity correction preserve strain in Alloy 718 rings to suppress abnormal grain growth.
Stored diameter-based speed corrections keep tapered rollers aligned with ring growth, reducing creep and improving rolling repeatability.
Variable PI/PID coefficients adjust tapered roller speed to keep ring growth uniform and reduce circularity, flatness, and cylindricity defects.
Buffer channels beside the embossing zone absorb sideways metal flow, preserving strip edge straightness and improving aluminum tube weld quality.
Sequential ridge rolling forms internal pipe threads without overlapping contact, reducing thinning and crack risk in enlarged metal pipes.
A tracked inductor keeps constant coupling distance during ring rolling to offset rising heat loss without a cumbersome magnetizable core.
Preformed V-grooves and seam flattening let embossed pipe mills weld both sides cleanly while preserving pattern shape and watertightness.
Small-width edge planes and a seam groove keep embossed patterns aligned for welding and hide weld scars in embossed metal pipe.
