Abstract

See full text

Quality of a wire or rod is controlled in a rolling mill having a succession of roll stands spaced apart in a workpiece-travel direction by a method having the first step of, before rolling a wire or rod, statically measuring a sample of at least one wire or rod with typical real roll flaws and storing the flaw data in standard format in a control computer. A single cross-sectional shape or, if there is noise, an average of a plurality of averaged cross-sectional shapes are stored standardized as polar coordinates. During actual rolling of a wire or rod its actual-shape is continuously measured and actual-shape data is generated. A similarity analysis is continuously effected by comparing the flaw data in standard format with the actual-shape data of the wire or rod being rolled. When the actual cross-sectional shape data corresponds to the flaw data, an alarm is generated.
