This webinar presents the advanced simulation capabilities of QForm for longitudinal rolling of profiles, rebars, and sheets. The session focuses on the simulation of material flow, stress–strain state, and thermal behavior during multi-pass rolling processes under various production conditions. Particular attention is given to roll pass design, deformation distribution, temperature evolution, and the prediction of rolling loads and torque throughout the rolling sequence. Participants will learn how QForm enables accurate analysis of metal flow, rolling forces, roll stresses, and final product geometry, as well as the identification of potential defects such as underfilling, laps, and other flow-related defects. The webinar will demonstrate how key process parameters, including pass schedule, reduction strategy, roll geometry, rolling speed, and thermal regimes, influence product quality, process stability, and mill productivity. Practical case studies will illustrate how finite element simulation supports roll pass optimization, reduces the need for trial rolling, minimizes material waste, and improves overall production efficiency. The session is intended for rolling mill engineers, process technologists, R&D specialists, and simulation analysts working in long and flat product manufacturing who seek deeper insight into rolling process optimization and digital process control using QForm.
