Book excerpt: Although the cold rolling of non-ferrous materials has been practiced since the fourteenth century, the hot rolling of steel was begun in the latter half of the seventeenth century or just over 300 years ago. The subject of hot rolling is broad enough even if confined solely to the deformation processes themselves. However, many of the problems occurring in hot rolling originate in earlier processes, such as casting, soaking and the conditioning and reheating of semi finished products. For this reason, it was felt desirable to discuss these topics in some detail in this book. It is hoped that this book will be very useful for researchers, design engineers, personnel responsible for the operation of hot rolling mills, purchasing agents, technocrats, new entrepreneurs etc.
