Modern long product mills increasingly rely on digital tools to understand, design and optimize their rolling routes. KOCKS Process Consulting combines metallurgical expertise with powerful simulation technology to support producers in improving processes, stabilizing quality and making better decisions before changes reach the mill floor.
Simulation of the entire rolling process and its representation as a digital twin is state of the art in modern rolling mills. With a consulting approach based on the KOCKS Microstructure Simulator (KMS), KOCKS offers a focused consulting service to support long product producers.
KMS acts as semi‑empirical system that describes temperature distribution along the rolling line and calculates microstructure fractions, grain size and mechanical properties of the finished products. Already trusted by mills worldwide, the consulting approach of KOCKS allows sensitive points in the process to be identified early, so that rolling parameters and material concepts can be continuously reviewed and enhanced – before costly trials or changes in production.
The KOCKS expert consulting based on the KMS provides a comprehensive picture of what happens along the rolling line, including:
KOCKS Process Consulting: Streamline rolling processes – from digital twin to practical recommendations for the real rolling mill.
The KMS is the foundation around which the process consulting takes place.
During the calculation, the input data from the technological editor is supplemented with information from the database and transferred to the simulator which calculates the rolling process and models the phase transformation during and after the process.
The scope of the KMS is significantly extended through the MatILDa® database’s open interface for data exchange. This allows to add own existing material data and data gathered in future experiments and conduct various simulations of diverse rolling mill configurations and materials.
