Abstract

SmartCrown is a new technology developed by VAI for a more accurate control of profile and flatness during hot or cold rolling of steel and aluminium. In particular, SmartCrown allows to avoid to a great extent, or even completely, the frequently occurring defect called quarter buckles. The paper highlights the design features of the SmartCrown work rolls and compares the new technique with the well known CVC technology.
