Abstract

Many of the hot strip mill operators have used many “unkind” words about the strip shape and profiles coming off their mill because it keeps changing. Most of them forget a hot strip mill is a “lady” who does what she wants, when she wants, and how she wants it; and immediately changes her mind. The problem is the strip shape and profile is controlled by unknown “devils”. Some mill operators learn something about these “devils” and how to control them, but other mill operators just go “crazy” with the constantly changing shape and strip profiles.
