Abstract
Continuous Hot Rolling system with Electric Resistance Heating is developed. This system aims to realize accurate and uniform control of temperature of materials, utilizing automatic compensation for temperature due to thermal conductivity to temperature. Flexible control of microstructure after hot forming will become possible by proposed system, as the simultaneous control of temperature and plastic deformation can be easily made. Basic characteristic of Continuous Hot Rolling system with Electric Resistance Heating(CHR-ER process) is investigated through a series of experiment using stainless steel.
