At the end of September, the 93rd AIKW Conference took place in Siegen, Germany. QForm UK presented a range of solutions and products designed not only for rolling process simulation, but also for roll pass design.

During the conference, Vitaliy Belugin, Head of the Longitudinal Rolling Bureau, QForm Group, gave a detailed presentation on the full range of QForm UK’s capabilities for rolling simulation.
In his presentation, “A full-cycle digital twin of rail manufacturing: from roll pass design to differential quenching and straightening”, Vitaliy demonstrated how QForm UK enables the creation of a comprehensive digital model of the entire technological chain — from profile drawing design to simulation of heat treatment and straightening. He also showed how the software allows for in-depth analysis of stresses, strains, and potential defects within the rolled profile.
