Abstract
A substantial percentage of the metal made today is subjected to shaping operations—mainly rolling. The rolling of sheets, plates, strip, bars, and other products is the most productive and most economical method of plastically deforming metallic semifinished products. However, numerous (sometimes at least several dozen) heatings and annealings are needed to obtain final products in the form of sheets, strip, and small-diameter bars. This sharply reduces the productivity of the process, appreciably increases energy and labor costs, and requires more production space and metal-intensive equipment.
