Abstract

Asymmetric hot rolling has been found to decrease therolling loads, to increase recrystallisation kinetics and torefine the grain size. Thereby this rolling practice opensthe way to save energy, to decrease hot band thickness,to enlarge formats, to increase strength, to reduce alloyingadditions and to improve formability.
