A Roll Wear Prediction Model in Hot Plate Rolling

In this paper, the wear of work roll in hot plate rolling is introduced and the parameters affecting wear mechanisms in hot strip mill are investigated. In addition, different wear mechanisms in hot rolling and the differences between these mechanisms in different stands are explained. Using the finite element method and the rolling equations, a work roll wear model is proposed. Wear is modeled...

Magnificent Grain Refinement of Al-Mg2Si Composite by Hot Rolling

The effect of chemical composition and the hot rolling operations on the microstructure and mechanical properties of in situ aluminum matrix composite with Mg2Si phase as the reinforcement was studied. It was revealed that the modification by phosphorous results in the rounder (more spherical) primary and secondary (eutectic) magnesium silicide intermetallics. During hot rolling, the primary pa...

Time-Frequency Analysis of Hot Rolling Using Manifold Learning

In this paper, we propose a method to compare and visualize spectrograms in a low dimensional space using manifold learning. This approach is divided in two steps: a data processing and dimensionality reduction stage and a feature extraction and a visualization stage. The procedure is applied on different types of data from a hot rolling process, with the aim to detect chatter. Results obtained...
