Using 3D rigid-plastic finite element method (FEM), a numerical simulation model for the non-steady state vertical- horizontal rolling process in roughing trains has been built, and is validated by comparison between simulated and experimental values of width and shape of the stock ends. Aiming to certain 2050 roughing process technologies, short shape control (SSC) of the stock ends was investigated using the model. Based on the simulated results, a new SSC model was developed. Moreover, it can be seen that it is effective for the new SSC model to improve shape of the stock ends from the analyzed results.
