Advanced Cold Rolling Training: 201 

About the Program

This course serves as a natural extension of the concepts introduced in Cold Sheet Rolling — A Practical Training Seminar. Composed of a series of in-depth seminars and open discussions, this two-day course explores the inner workings and analytic details of key subjects, including: material mechanics, rolling theory, automatic gauge control, shape/flatness measurement and control, rolling operations and techniques, and specialty mills and complex materials. These seminars include complete first-principles derivations of historically significant relationships, equations and models that are difficult to find in the literature and textbooks, along with case studies and examinations of real-world systems, situations and operational events.

Who Should Attend

This course has been designed for those seeking an advanced understanding of the mechanics of cold rolling; analytic derivations of popular equations; philosophies and procedures of rolling mill sizing, selection and design; deeper details and strategies of the associated control systems; exposure to unusual materials, mill designs and operational philosophies; and subtle nuances of specialty mills and rolling practices. Seasoned operators or those who completed Cold Sheet Rolling — A Practical Training Seminar should attend. Anyone who would like to hone their skills and expand their knowledge of cold mills and cold rolling should attend. This includes electrical, mechanical, lubrication and metallurgical engineers; maintenance personnel; operators; and those responsible for quality assurance. Equipment manufacturers, field service personnel, on-line and off-line service suppliers will also benefit from this course.
