What an incredible turnout in September at three co-located AIST conferences! With over 250 gathered in one location for three events, attendees explored the ins and outs of cold rolling, industrial automation, and even took a deeper look into advanced cold rolling theory. The three conferences brought together producers and suppliers ready to hear from the experts on basic metallurgy and rolling theory, current sensors and control technologies and their application in the steel industry, and the inner workings and analytic details of key subjects including material mechanics, rolling theory and automatic gauge control. Thank you to everybody who attended and contributed to the success of these events. We would like to thank the Cold Rolling Fundamentals – A Practical Training Seminar event sponsor Yogiji Digi.
