چکیده

This paper describes the design, implementation and testing of an intelligent knowledgebased supervisory control (IKBSC) system for a hot rolling mill process. A novel architecture is used to integrate an expert system with an existing supervisory control system and a new optimization methodology for scheduling the soaking pits in which the material is heated prior to rolling. The resulting IKBSC system was applied to an aluminium hot rolling mill process to improve the shape quality of low-gauge plate and to optimise the use of the soaking pits to reduce energy consumption. The results from the trials demonstrate the advantages to be gained from the IKBSC system that integrates knowledge contained within data, plant and human resources with existing model-based systems.

Investigations into the Effect of Tension Between the Stands of the Finishing Mill on Width Control in a Hot Rolling Process

This paper is concerned with investigations into the effect of tension between the stands of the finishing mill on width control in a hot rolling process. An analysis is given to predict satisfactorily the variation in width due to spreading and also due to strip tension between the stands. Wusatowski's model which is developed to give an account of spreading is specified and a similar model to...

Prediction of Work-Piece Constitutive Equation in Hot Rolling of Strip

Dimensional control of the work-piece in steel industry is of important interest. The main aspects in overcoming the thickness control are variations in material strength due to variations in chemical composition, work-piece temperature, reduction and the strain rate applied to the work-piece. In this paper based on the main parameters affecting the rolling force an attempt been made to give a ...
