Controlling the tandem cold rolling of metal strip is a significant challenge to the control engineer. This is due mostly to complex interactions between the process variables, nonlinearities that change with process conditions, and long speed-dependent time delays. The present technology is limited in its capability for improvement in performance. This paper describes a new control strategy th...

In multi-stand cold rolling mills an accurate synchronization of the mill drives is necessary for a good product quality and for a safe process operation. During the standard commissioning procedure the control performance of each drive is optimized individually. However, in normal operation mode the performance is then not always optimal due to the coupling of the drives by the strip being rol...

in this study, the effect of cold rolling process on the microstructure and texture evolution in 1wt. % si non-orientedelectrical steel was investigated. for this purpose, all samples were processed through single-stage hot rolling at1100 ° c and two-stage cold rolling (cross rolling and unidirectional rolling) with intermediate annealing at 650 °cfor 35 seconds. finally, all of them were fully...

Cold rolling of steel is one of the most important metal forming processes so an accurate control of its parameters during the process is necessary. In this paper, the friction coefficient has been proposed as a function of cold rolling parameters such as forward slip, forward and backward tensile stresses ,strip thickness, static deformation, resistance of strip before and after rolling ,strip...

austenite is a semi-stable phase in most stainless steels that deforms to martensite under md30 and forms martensitetype ά and ε due to the deformation in the steels. since the distribution of strain induced martensite plays animportant role in achieving desired properties, the main objective of the present work is to model martensitedistribution of ά during cold rolling using finite element me...

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...
