The method to predict roll deformation precisely and efficiently is vital for the strip shape control of a six-high rolling mill. Traditional calculation methods of roll deformation, such as the finite element method and the influence function method, have been widely used due to their accuracies. However, the required calculation time is too …



Making "digital twins" for rolling processes and mill equipment should begin with the development of mathematical models of the deformation zone. The deformation zone of two-high flat mill rolling have been studied in detail, relevant models are available in many academic papers. However, the same cannot be said about the most complex …



A mathematical model of friction coefficient was established to calculate the roll force during hot strip rolling process. Firstly, a linear regression model with four input variables was proposed to describe friction behavior, namely rolling speed, strip temperature, reduction rate, and the number of rolled strips since roll change. Then, the …









Because of the current demands on mills to process much lighter exit gauges from increased incoming hot strip thickness, much larger reductions are necessary on individual mill stands, such high reductions at a nominal width result in a larger area of contact with corresponding higher rolling force, friction and heat generation (see Fig 1



The elastic deformation of rolling mill elements during the rolling process is important. By knowing the displacement of rolls, the optimum gap between the work rolls can be calculated. In present research, a vibration model with two degrees of freedom is proposed for a cold sheet rolling mill and the stiffness parameters of different mill …



It offers increased productivity and ease compared to the two-high rolling mill. Fig 3: Three High Rolling Mill. Four-High Rolling Mill. It incorporates two backup rollers and two working rollers arranged one over the other in the same vertical plane, with the backup rollers having a greater diameter than the working rollers. It is commonly ...





Silicon steel cold rolling mill is required for high qualities (flatness and uniform thickness), minimizing the Eddy current loss of the silicon steel and customized products. A cold rolling process of the silicon steel consists of three phases, pre-calculation, real-time control and post-calculation like a general rolling process.



That is why it is reasonable to apply one-dimensional model, based on the known dependences of rolling pressure and mill torque calculation. Currently, several dependences are known for determining the mill torque in stands with multi-roll grooves [6,23,24,25,26]. Some of them are obtained for specific cases, others are more general.



The ARB process does not require any special equipment except for a rolling mill with enough capacity, which is another advantage of this method. Figure 2.2 shows the rolling mill that has been used for the ARB process in the author's group. The rolling machine is a conventional two-high mill with 310 mm roll diameter.Because the large reduction in 1 …



Accurate calculation and measurement of rolling force play an important part in design and operation of rolling mill. Calculation of Rolling Force Assume the contact stress in the width direction of the rolled piece is evenly distributed, and the unit pressure and unit friction imposed on the rolled piece by the roll in a differential area in ...



A wire rod rolling mill, for example, gradually reduces the cross-sectional area of a starting billet (e.g., 150 mm square, 10-12 meters long) down to a finished rod (as small as 5.0 mm in diameter, 1.93 km long) at high finishing speeds (up to 120 m/sec). ... Calculation of roll force is important because calculation of torque and power in a ...









Automatic detection and control of rolling mills . 1. Main manifestations of automation of metal rolling machinery and equipment ... The main functions of steel rolling process control include rolling schedule setting calculation, model self-adaptation, data analysis and processing, quality control, and engineering report generation. Among them ...







Principles of Hot Rolling EQUIPMENT CAPABILITY – ROLLING CONSTRAINTS • Rolling cannot occur outside of typical mill electrical and mechanical constraints: Torque Roll Force Stand Speed Stand Power Stretch Limitations of Mill Housings • Violation of Equipment Capability: Thickness too light for a given width



Depending on the equipment characteristics, it is possible to say that the rolling process presents good dimensional control and high productivity due to its continuity (Helman and Cetlin, 2005). The rolling load calculation is a critical parameter when looking for the correct rolling mill setup in steel rolling.

These "RPM values" become part of the set up chart for the combination rolls sets used on the mill line. Follow the simple outline on the sample data chart for calculating and setting the RPM's of the smaller sections. Some mill lines have digital readouts for the speeds of each section as outlined in the sample drawing below.



Radial-axial ring rolling, ... while the lower conical roll is held in a fixed position above the table plate of the radial-axial mill; the guide rolls contact the ring outer diameter to ensure the circularity of the ring, and any force imbalance and instability during the rolling process are removed by the actions of the guide rolls. Under the ...









The ratio λ = [ a/Lp] = [a/√R.∆t] is used to calculate the moment arm 'a' λ =0.5 for hot rolling and 0.45 for cold rolling. The torque is equal to the product of total rolling load and the effective moment arm. Since there are two work rolls Torque Mt = 2P.a Consider two high roll mill as shown in the figure.



Rolling is the most widely used mechanical work technique. About three quarters of steel output is treated in rolling mills, and only a quarter is consumed for forging, extruding, and founding [].Recent review papers on rolling process [2, 3] continues to point out that there are new demands on modeling the rolling process that could …
