Abstract: Leveler is widely used to improve the quality of defective mild steel plates. Its typical ranges of the leveling capacity are constrained by three criteria, namely the maximum stroke of rollers, allowable total leveling force and motor power. In this work, an optimization model with equality and inequality constraints was built for the maximum yield stress search of each thickness of plates. The corresponding search procedure with three loops was given. The approximate range by the simplification model could be used as the initial value for the actual range search of the leveling capacity. Therefore, the search speed could be accelerated compared with a global search. The consistency of the analytical results and field data demonstrates the reliability of the proposed model and procedure. The typical ranges of the leveling capacity are expressed by several boundary curves which are helpful to judge whether the incoming plate can be leveled quickly or not. Also, these curves can be used to find the maximum yield stress for a specific thickness or the maximum thickness for a yield stress for plates.
