CONTINUOUS BAR ROLLING: ENGINEERING FUNDAMENTALS AND INDUSTRIAL ADVANCES

Preface: Over the past five years, we have been nurturing a dream of writing a book on the principles of the rolling process from the perspective of the

industrial sector in Bangladesh. The impetus for doing this work finally resulted in ‘Continuous Bar Rolling: Engineering Fundamentals and Industrial

Advances.’ We then had to embark on the task of spelling out and developing the theoretical approach underlying our previous work experiences. We have

tried to write this book in a way that will be understandable to students with no specialized knowledge about the rolling process. The book is intended

to be a relatively concise reference to some of the field-oriented theoretical tools used in contemporary techniques in our country. The book is technical

in nature, discussing physical problems solely as examples of specific theoretical concepts and computational methods. We aim to present systematically

the fruitful theory of rolling parameter calculations. All other new concepts relating to a modern rolling mill setup are discussed briefly here; thus,

students can adapt to a modern rolling mill at their workplace. This book, being a first edition, may require some corrections, which we will address in

the next edition. Therefore, we would greatly appreciate any suggestions or comments.
