Optimum Work Roll Profile Selection in the Hot Rolling of Wide Steel Strip Using Computational Intelligence
نویسندگان
چکیده
The finishing train of a hot strip mill has been modelled by using a constant volume element model. The accuracy of the model has been increased by using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN). A non-linear Rank Based Genetic Algorithm has been developed for the optimization of the work roll profiles in the finishing stands of the simulated hot strip mill. It has been compared with eight other experimental optimization algorithms: Random Walk, Hill Climbing, Simulated Annealing (SA) and five different Genetic Algorithms (GA). Finally, the work roll profiles have been optimized by the non-linear Rank Based Genetic Algorithm. The quality of the strip from the simulated mill was significantly improved.

Prediction of Work Roll Initial Crown according to Desired Strip Profile in Hot Rolling
The final hot strip profile is a superposition of the roll initial crown, the roll bending and flattening crown, the roll wearing crown and the roll thermal crown. In this research, linear regression models are proposed to predict the roll force, the roll wearing crown and the roll thermal crown using experimental data provided by Mobarake Steel Complex (MSC). The short beam theory based on ela...
متن کاملSoma Applied to Optimum Work Roll Profile Selection in the Hot Rolling of Wide Steel
The quality of steel strip produced in a wide strip rolling mill depends heavily on the careful selection of initial ground work roll profiles for each of the mill stands in the finishing train. In the past, these profiles were determined by human experts, based on their knowledge and experience. In this research, a Self-Organising Migration Algorithm (SOMA), a heuristic optimisation algorithm,...
