Aluminium is reduced to the required uniform thickness at the rolling mill, and any necessary surface finish is applied before coiling. Temperature monitoring is essential to optimise the process, and detect potential mill breakdown problems.
Excessive heat can cause the metal to stick to machinery, while cold metal may crack during rolling, so accurate measurements play an important role. Since the surface finish may change during the process, affecting emissivity, these can be difficult to achieve.
Precise temperature control enables a reduction in re-annealing and finishing costs, the detection of potential breakdown mill problems, and improved process control. This in turn reduces operating costs and reduces the likelihood of any scrap product.
