Introduction
Technical progress is an integral part of the objective process of
the development of society and its productive forces. In metallurgy,
technical progress is aimed at solving urgent problems of improving
the quality and competitiveness, expanding the range of products,
developing new types of products, saving metal, fuel, water, thermal
and electric energy, and reducing production waste. Each of these
tasks is a complex of complicated problems and unresolved issues.
With a view to resolving them, fundamental and applied research
is constantly carried out, offering real recommendations in the
form of technical and technological solutions, the correct use of
which promises additional tangible benefits and the elimination of
negative effects. The development of a number of industries is largely
dependent on the production of rolled steel from ferrous metals.
The development of technology for obtaining various types of
sheet steel, the construction of rolling equipment, systems and means
of automation of the production process are subject to a single goal
- to ensure the required service properties and production volumes.
The technology of sheet rolling production is a set of knowledge
about the methods and means of processing steel from the initial
billet to obtaining sheets and strips of specified sizes, surface
quality, structure and mechanical properties. The creation of
effective technology is always scientific research, which ends with
the acquisition of new knowledge. Here there are: the formulation of
the problem, the analysis of the initial information, the formulation
of the working hypotheses, their theoretical elaboration, organization,
planning, performing the experiments, analyzing and summarizing the
results, checking the correctness of the accepted hypotheses on the
basis of the data obtained, justifying the conclusions, the revealed
regularities and forecasts.
The creation of new and improvement of existing technologies
at present can not be confined to various semi-empirical approaches
based only on production experience, but should be based on a
