With extensive experience delivering to prominent Chinese steel manufacturers, our expertise in both 4hi reversible cold rolling mill and 6 hi reversing cold rolling mill positions us as one of the most reliable partners in the metallurgical industry.

1. Industry Overview and Trends in Reversing Rolling Mill Technology

The reversing rolling mill sector, particularly for cold rolling applications, is experiencing rapid evolution in response to:

Growing demands for thinner steel and special alloys
Tighter thickness, flatness, and surface finish tolerances
Multi-material compatibility: carbon steel, silicon steel, stainless steel, high-strength alloys
Integration of digital technologies, automation, and remote diagnostics
Energy efficiency, roll gap optimization, and real-time feedback systems

According to the Cogent Engineering Journal, demand for sophisticated reversing rolling mill setups will continue to increase as automotive, electrical, and construction sectors require finer, defect-free rolled products [1].

7. Professional FAQ on Reversing Rolling Mill Terminologies

Frequently Asked Technical Questions

1. What is the difference between 4hi and 6hi reversing rolling mills?
4hi mills use two work rolls and two backup rolls, suitable for basic cold rolling on common steel grades. 6hi mills add two intermediate rolls, allowing better flatness control and the ability to roll harder materials and thinner strips.

2. What are the standard material grades processed?
Reversing rolling mills process carbon steel (SPHC, Q195-Q345), low-alloy steels, austenitic and ferritic stainless steel, and both oriented/non-oriented silicon steels.

3. What is AGC (Automatic Gauge Control)?
AGC precisely regulates strip thickness during rolling via hydraulic/electronic sensors, ensuring compliance with required tolerances.

4. How are finishing thickness and flatness assured?
Via hydraulic roll bending, intermediate roll shifting (6hi/CVC), and high-speed feedback loops connected to the control PLC, ensuring shape uniformity across coils.

5. What are the typical strip dimensions?
Width: 900mm to 1380mm; Input thickness: up to 3-5mm; Output: as low as 0.15mm for high-grade silicon or carbon strips.

6. What installation and safety standards are followed?
All YWLX reversing rolling mill lines are compliant with GB/T 19896-2016 & IEC/ISO electrical safety codes for industrial rolling mills.

7. How does a reversing mill improve strip quality?
Strips pass through multiple passes in both directions. Each pass further reduces thickness and improves flatness, allowing for precision outcomes not possible with reversing mills.
