Angle of Bite…
The angle of bite in the hot rolling process refers to the angle at which the incoming material is fed into the rolling mill. It plays a crucial role in determining the quality and efficiency of the rolling process. A proper angle of bite ensures that the material is securely held between the rolls, preventing slipping or skidding. This allows for a more uniform and controlled deformation of the material, resulting in improved product quality. Additionally, the angle of bite affects the amount of force needed for the rolling process. A larger angle of bite requires a lower force, reducing the power consumption and wear and tear on the rolling mill. On the other hand, a smaller angle of bite increases the force required, which can lead to increased energy consumption and decreased productivity. Therefore, selecting an optimal angle of bite is essential for achieving desired rolling outcomes.
