Abstract. A fragment of the article by the President of the Association of European Roll Pass Designers Ugo Suppo, published in №48 of «Der Kalibreur» magazine for 1988, is translated into Russian (translator - Victor Mikhailovich Kuprin, leading specialist of the Magnitogorsk Iron-and-Steel works Roll Pass Design Department). Today, after 30 years, it is interesting to estimate how justified the forecasts made at that time (editor in chief).

Abstract. The software has been developed to optimize the calibration of rolls. The program code has been optimized to increase the utilization of computer resources. A large amount of data was obtained for further analysis.
Keywords: roll pass design, energy efficiency, multithreading, optimization, modeling.

Abstract. The article describes the trainer-simulator «SIKE. Metal rolling in a reversing rougher heavy bar mill stand», which is a training system designed for the preparation of students of secondary and higher professional education, as well as production specialists in the technology of rolling billets.
Keywords: trainer-simulator, rolling production, reversing stand, rolling bar mill.

Abstract. The concept of the reduction strategy for heavy plates rolling are formulated. Considered various schemes of rolling. The equations for choosing total reduction and number of passes when you perform each operation has been composed.
Keywords: heavy plates rolling, scheme of rolling, operation of rolling, total reduction, number of passes.

Abstract. Considering the modes of heating of round workpieces of various diameters in the multistage furnace, were revealed a number of problems on heating of workpieces of small cross-section. Were proposed of the measure for improvement of quality of heating with change of time of stay of workpieces in furnace zones, with use of zone adjustment of speeds of rotation of rollers.
Keywords: multistage furnace, billet, zone of heating, temperature, mode of heating, scale formation, roller.

Abstract. The article presents an alphabetical systematic nomenclature of grooves of rolling rolls, which provides an increase in the efficiency of the roll pass design department
and the roll shop.
Keywords: systematic nomenclature, roll pass design, groove shape, templets of grooves, roll shop.
