The multi-objective optimization of the SmartCrown intermediate roll profile for a cold rolling mill was proposed in this paper in order to improve the strip flatness quality. A coupling model of roll profile and strip flatness was established, and the roll gap profile, roll gap crown adjustment range, rolls contact pressure, and strip flatness under different intermediate roll profile parameters were calculated based on the coupling model. The results showed that the roll gap crown adjustment range and rolls contact pressure difference increased with increasing roll profile parameters. The roll profile parameters were multi-optimized based on the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II). The minimum rolls contact pressure difference and maximum roll gap crown adjustment range were taken as the objective function of multi-objective optimization. The optimal roll profile parameters were applied to a six-high five stand tandem cold rolling mills, which improved the flatness quality of the DP780 steel strip.

For gaining strip edge drop controllability and increasing roll grinding precision, the edge drop control work roll (EDW) was developed and designed in 1700 mm tandem cold rolling mill. During the rolling trial, the roll configuration between EDW and conventional backup roll didn’t match well because of the large fluctuation of strip edge drop, the lower shape control ability and non-uniform roll wearing, so the new roll configuration between EDW and varying contact backup roll (VCR) was proposed. After analyzing by finite element model, the result showed that the roll system configuration of VCR and EDW was better by 10.7% larger roll gap crown adjustable scope, 19.1% larger roll gap stiffness characteristics and 21.6% smaller pressure peak between rolls than before. The new roll system configuration has been applied to 1700 tandem cold rolling mill at WISCO after industrial testing.
