Abstract

A method of rolling ingots includes rolling a first ingot with a hot reversing mill such that the first ingot is partially rolled. The method includes moving the partially rolled ingot downstream from the hot reversing mill and performing intermediate processing of the partially rolled first ingot. While performing intermediate processing of the partially rolled first ingot, the method includes rolling a second ingot with the hot reversing mill such that the second ingot is partially rolled. After performing intermediate processing of the partially rolled first ingot, the method includes storing the partially rolled second ingot, returning the partially rolled first ingot to the hot reversing mill, and rolling the partially rolled first ingot to a rolled first product. A rolling system may roll two ingots in parallel.
