Macro–Micro Combined Texture Evolution Model for Hot Strip with High Reduction Rolling

Coiler Control in Endless Hot Strip Rolling

JFE Steel Corporation’s East Japan Works (Chiba District) started operation of No.3 Hot Strip Mill in 1995. This line was the first in the world to achieve “endless hot strip rolling.” A new Coiler Control technology was developed. Copyright 2005 IFAC

Determination of hot- and cold-rolling texture of steels: A combined Bayesian Neural Network model

The work reported in this paper outlines the use of a combined artificial neural network model capable of fast online prediction of textures in low and extra low carbon steels. We approach the problem by a Bayesian framework neural network model that take into account as input to the model the influence of 23 parameters describing chemical composition, and thermomechanical processes such as aus...

A New Temper Rolling Force Model for Dry Thick Strip Considering Fully Elastic Contact

Temper rolling or skin pass rolling is one of cold rolling processes composed of a horizontal pass cold rolling mill stand. In this process, the thick strip is subjected to very light reduction (0.5–4%) in thickness in the presence of high friction amplitudes. One of the basic parameters of strip rolling processes is temper rolling force. A new rolling force model has been proposed for temper r...

Metallurgically Consistent Determination of Steel Hot Strength Using Process Data from Hot Strip Mill Rolling

It is not rare to observe an inverse relationship between hot strength determined from rolling load of the finishing stands of the hot strip mill and strain. This situation was already described in the literature and is explained by the use of inverse rolling load models that assumes sticking friction in the determination of hot strength. The aim of this work was to show that this “work softeni...
