Strip Crown

An influence function method has been developed to simulate the asymmetric cold rolling of thin strip with work roll kiss at edges. The numerical simulation model was obtained based on the deformation compatibility of the roll system in rolling and lateral directions. The strip plastic deformation has been considered in the formulation, which is significantly different from the traditional theory of metal rolling. The rolling mechanics and crown of the strip with work roll edge kiss, which are new findings for cold rolling of thin strip, are obtained. A comparison of the rolling force, roll edge kiss force and the strip crown after rolling has been conducted for various cross shear regions in the roll bite. Results show that the calculated strip crown is in good agreement with Ameasured value, and the rolling force and strip crown decrease with an increase of cross shear regions, as well as the work roll edge kiss force and edge wear decrease. The friction also has an influence on the profile of the rolled thin strip.

Force Calculation

The rolling force calculation procedure of strip cold rolling is developed based on influence function method, with consideration of the couple of roll flattening model and rolling force model. With the procedure total rolling force and the distribution of rolling force per width of each pass for HC mill are calculated using sampling data obtained from actual strip rolling. Comparing the calculation results with actual measured value, it is shown that the calculated total rolling forces are similar to actual data, and the distribution of rolling force per width is consistent with the actual status. It proved that the calculation method introduced in this paper is an effective method to calculate rolling force, and it can be used in the process control of strip cold rolling mill.

Asymmetric rolling of thin strip has become important due to a significant decrease of rolling force, which contributes to obtain the extremely thin strip, to reduce the rolling passes, and to save the energy by a decrease of anneal treatment. In asymmetric rolling of thin strip, edges of work rolls may contact and deform when no or small work roll bending force is applied. Work roll edge contact forms a new deformation feature. In this paper, the effects of initial thickness of strip and friction coefficient on the rolling pressure, roll edge contact length and strip crown during asymmetric rolling of thin strip with work roll edge contact effect has been discussed, and the calculated rolling force with work roll edge contact is compared with the measured value.

Element Analysis

Cold rolled thin strip has received a great deal of attention through technological and theoretical progress in the rolling process, as well as from researchers who have focused on some essential parameters of strip such as its shape and profile. This paper describes the development of a 3-D finite element model of the shape of thin strip during cold rolling to simulate the cold rolling of WCS (work roll crossing and shifting) in asymmetric rolling. This finite element model considers the asymmetrical rolling parameters such as variations in the diameters of the rolls and the crossing angle as the work roll shifts on the strip during cold rolling. The shape and profile of the strip are discussed in the asymmetrical and symmetrical rolling conditions, while the total rolling force and distribution of stress are discussed in the case where the roll cross angle and axial shifting roll changes. The results can then be used to control the shape and profile of thin strip during rolling.

Profile Control

Controlling cold strip profile is a difficult and significant problem has been found in industry during thin strip rolling. At present choosing the new type of strip rolling mill is the one of main methods to control the strip shape quality in cold rolling. The influences of rolling process parameters such as the work roll cross angle and work roll shifting on the strip shape and profile of thin strip are recognised throughout this study. The results show that the roll crossing and shifting is efficient way to control the strip shape. The increase of the work roll crossing angle would lead to improve the strip profile significantly by decreasing the exit strip crown and edge drop. The strip profile would be enhanced if the axial roll shifting was increased. Moreover, the total rolling force was analysed in detail by changing the roll cross angle and axial shifting roll.

Two Sides

As a special rolling method, angular rolling can meet various gauge demands of customized production. Due to the asymmetry of angular rolling, the rolling forces on the two sides of the roll system are different and the thickness distribution of the plate will be complex. To accurately obtain the thickness distribution and predict the rolling force during the angular rolling process, a mathematical model based on the influence function method is developed. An experiment is also adopted to validate the results of the rolling force. The results show that the change in the total rolling force comprises three stages: increasing, stable, and decreasing. During most of the rolling time, the rolling forces on the two sides of the mill are different. Then the predicted results of the rolling force are validated by experiment. After the first pass of angular rolling, a serious wedge appears at the head and tail ends of the plate. But when the angular rolling is finished, the wedge has almost disappeared. Considering the short calculation time, this model can be applied in the actual production process for making effective shape control strategies and flexible rolling schedules to meet various gauge demands of customized production.

In order to analyze the effects of cold rolling parameters such as the crossing angle and axial shifting value of work rolls on the strip profile, extensive tests were carried out on a 4-high rolling mill equipped with a work roll crossing and shifting system. The results show that the strip profile is nearly flat under asymmetrical rolling. The rolling force was also analyzed in detail by changing the crossing angle and axial shifting value of work rolls.
