The purpose of the hot rolling mill is to make a preheated steel block thinner and longer, see Figure 1. This is done by pulling the plate through two parallel rolls mounted in the rolling mill. Due to the large forces obtained in hot rolling, the elastic de ection of the rolling mill is of the same order of magnitude as the plate thickness. Variations in the rolling force caused by variations ...

A model is presented which describes the uncoiling process of a rolling mill in fault-less and in faulty situations. This model is implemented in the DYMOLA modelling and simulation environment. It is used for two purposes: first for the simulation of the unwinding process and second for model-based fault diagnosis. For the latter diagnostic task, a simplified model is derived. Results of the s...

A large testing programme of a strip steel grade, microalloyed by vanadium, titanium and niobium, was conducted. The experiment was based on combination of cold rolling, recrystallization annealing, mechanical testing, metallographic examinations, SEM and TEM analyses. Samples in the form of stripes with dimensions of 3.9×25×500 mm were rolled in several passes with the total height reduction o...

there is a complicated relation between cold flat rolling parameters such as effective input parameters of cold rolling, output cold rolling force and exit thickness of strips. in many mathematical models, the effect of some cold rolling parameters has been ignored and the outputs have not a desirable accuracy. in the other hand, there is a special relation among input thickness of strips, the ...
