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...

In this research the rigid plastic material is applied to steady and nonsteady state strip rolling .Stresses and strains distribution in steady state plane strip rolling under the condition of constant of friction are calculated for work hardening and nonhardening materials .In order to attain a comprehensive understanding of the underlying process details, to check and select semi analytical m...

Scale defects are common surface defects in hot steel rolling. The modelling of such defects is problematic and their causes are not straightforward. In this study, we investigated genetic algorithms in search for a mathematical solution to scale formation. For this research, a high-dimensional data set from hot steel rolling process was gathered. The synchronisation of the variables as well as...

In this paper, a kinematic optimal design of a new parallel-type rolling mill based upon Stewart platform manipulator is investigated. The objective of this new parallel-type rolling mill is to permit an integrated control of the strip thickness, strip shape, pair crossing angle, uniform wear of the rolls, and tension of the strip. A manipulability measure, as the ratio of the manipulability el...

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,...

This paper analyzes the control of Al2O3 inclusions in high strength IF steel containing phosphorus. The inclusion statistics and two-dimensional morphology samples with slab thickness 1/8, 1/2 7/8, hot rolling, cold rolling continuous annealing processes were observed compared by ASPEX SEM. In addition, three-dimensional extracted from electrolysis original process compared. results show that:...
