Mill Software
Development and
Improvement
Metal Data, with dozens
years of experiences on
steel mills, develops
and improves steel mill
software based on the
plant use cases, user
scenarios and by
applying accurate mill
process models. See

consultant profile
and a paper

Model-Intensive
Web-based Rolling Mill
Applications (presented in AISTech
2009).
Roll pass software
Development
-
Web-based
roll
pass
design
software.
Metal
Data has developed a long list of steel mill
model-based applications. A
summary of the applications is available. -
Proposals
for the
development
of the
roll
pass
design
software
for the
rolling
of the
Flat
Bar. -
Proposal
for the
development
of the
roll
pass
design
software
for the
rolling
of the
Half
Round,
Fins and
other
special
bars. -
We are also looking for industrial partner(s) to develop Enterprise Roll Pass
Software. See Proposal Part 1,
Part 2, Part 3,
and Part 4.

Mill
Automation System Development and Improvement.
Level 2 Model Development
-
Flow stress model development
-
Force prediction model during rolling
-
Roll deformation models: flattening
and deflection, etc.
-
One
Preliminary
Proposal
for
Camber
Problem
Solution
is
showed
as
example.
-
Temperature prediction model
for the heat treatment reheating furnace
Level 3 Model Development
-
Prediction of rolled product properties.
Process models and system learning will be combined. For example, the grain
size at the entrance of the controlled water cooling in the run-out table can
be used as learning parameter. A proposal for the package development is
available: Prediction of Rolled Steel Properties.
-
Slab size optimization and
slab grade optimization
-
Program to schedule major
production setpoints (maximum/minimum draft for roughing and
finishing passes, dropout temperatures, hold temperatures,
hold times, etc.)

-
Roll bending and bending
force prediction: to be used for our consulting activity to
fully utilize your roll bending equipment. By better using
your roll bending, we may increase your draft in the finish
passes to improve your rolled steel properties and product
shape.
-
Roll deflection:
caused by roll force, to be compensated by roll crown, roll
bending, etc.
-
Roll crown:
combination of the roll ground crown, thermal crown, roll
wear, etc.
-
Stand deflection
-
Roll
separating force: those for rod/bar rolling process is
available in Mill
Load section of this site; the others will come soon.
-
Prediction of center buckle
and edge wave: When the difference of the drafts in the
strip width middle and the edges is over a certain limited,
center buckle or/and edge wave start to form. Our model
provides this limit for various materials and various
rolling conditions.
-
Formability: We
have formability model based on the material (grade) and
forming conditions.
-
Flow
stress model. We'll soon put the 6,000 sets of the flow
stress models online in this site. They are developed during
a plate mill Level 2 model optimization project. In
addition, we will let you calculate the flow stress
coefficients yourselves with our web-based applications.
General Engineering
Applications Development
-
Application to display
AutoCAD drawing. We have developed a web-based application
to display AutoCAD drawing in the company's intranet for a
steel plant.
-
Application to display Excel
documents on the company's intranet. We developed such an
application for a steel mill.

Technical papers published
in the February and March of
2008. Those
publications are primarily
on Level 2, Level 2 model
and process automation.
