This volume compiles information from physics, metallurgy, and mechanical and electrical engineering to epitomize the fundamental characteristics of flat rolling steel. It proceeds from in-depth analyses of metal properties and behaviours to technologies in application. It also presents qualitative and quantitative advances in cost-effective steel production.

Emphasizing solutions to the problems of achieving tight tolerances of important geometrical parameters such as thickness, width, cross-sectional profile, and flatness, this reference focuses on the principles and applications of the technology for producing high-quality, flat-rolled steel products.
