Experimental Research of the Hot-Rolled Pipe Wall Sizing Process at the Reeling Mill of Pipe-Rolling Plant-140 in Conditions of Product Mix Extension

Abstract

This experimental study was conducted on the equipment of pipe-rolling plant-140 with an automatic mill in order to give a qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the parameters which define the pipe wall sizing process in reeling mills. During investigation values of the power parameters of the process were recorded for different sizing routes. Conclusions about the special features of the wall sizing process and feasibility of extension of the reeling mill process capabilities were formulated.
