For the leveling machines in conditions of a small batch production which is typical for manufacturing sheets of non-ferrous alloys, in particular, titanium, the rollers heating is very influential. In order to expand the technological possibilities of the main equipment in non-stationary thermal working conditions of rollers that is an actual new scientific problem the experimental study of the loading in the hot leveling of slabs made from hardly-deformed titanium alloys was carried out on the 9-roll leveling machine. To achieve this goal the methodology of the complex experimental study of the actual loading definition of the leveling machine drive was developed. The experimental study was carried out for alloys Ti6Al4V (Vt-6s) and PT-3V with the initial heating temperature of the rolled product from 750 to 850°C. The slab leveling process was logged for slabs with the thickness from 20 to 68 mm, the width from 985 to 1720 mm by the number of passes through the leveling machine from 2 to 8. The treatment and analysis of experimental data was conducted on the basis of which the summary of permissibility of assortment expansion of leveling slabs has been formulated.
