ICRF 2026 - 5th International Conference on INGOT CASTING, ROLLING & FORGING

The billet welding machine is an efficient and effective solution to improve the productivity and reduce consumptions, applicable both on new as well as existing long products mills. The Third Generation of the ERT-EBROS billet welder by POMINI Long Rolling Mills is equipped with several advanced functions. The first part of the paper focuses on the layout and technical features. In the second...

QSP-DUE® direct casting and rolling technology allows three production modes: coil-to-coil, semi-endless, and full endless. These modes enable the production of various steel grades and strip formats, meeting end-user needs. The technology's maturity is evidenced by concrete applications.

The process offers a wide product mix, catering to various market needs, with perspective towards...

The Horizon platform by POMINI Long Rolling Mills represents a transformative approach to digital twin technology in the metals industry. Horizon enables the creation and management of comprehensive digital twins, serving as virtual counterparts to physical assets and processes throughout the entire plant lifecycle.

A novel “electric current pre-treatment + corrugated–flat rolling” (E-CFR) process was developed to fabricate high-strength and high-ductility Ta-12W refractory alloy, effectively suppressing macroscopic delamination during plastic deformation and achieving a superior strength–ductility synergy. The process involves two rolling passes: corrugated rolling in the first pass to introduce a wavy...
