Technological advances in HAGC, bending block and work-roll cylinder control systems — intensified by increasingly more aggressive operating parameters — have necessitated new developments in robust sealing systems. Key considerations include extrusion resistance under higher pressures, guide band selection and accommodating larger extrusion gaps. This paper explores methods in advanced seal development, including computer simulations through finite element analysis, statistical methods, experimental testing and data collection in the field.
