Roughing mill
A roughing mill is a type of mill used for initial or preliminary metal processing. It is designed to remove excess material, shape the metal, and prepare it for further processing.
The function of a roughing mill is to perform the initial shaping and reduction of metal ingots or slabs. It is typically used in the metal industry, specifically in the production of steel and other metals. The roughing mill applies high-pressure forces to the metal, causing plastic deformation and reducing its thickness.
The application of a roughing mill is crucial in the rolling process. It helps transform large, bulky metal forms into thinner and more manageable intermediate products. The mill's primary purpose is to create a starting point for further rolling operations, such as the intermediate and finishing mills, which further refine the metal's shape, dimensions, and surface quality. By breaking down the initial metal form, the roughing mill sets the stage for subsequent processing steps, enabling efficient and controlled shaping of the metal.
