Hot Rolling Mill

This paper presents an efficiency analysis of an induction motor with direct torque and flux control at a hot rolling mill in South Africa. Two scenarios were evaluated: 1) where the induction motor was controlled at a constant speed with a variable thickness slab; and 2) where the speed of the induction motor was controlled according to the thickness of the slab. Both scenarios used the speed as reference to control the torque and flux of the induction motor. A comparison on the energy consumption of the induction motor for both scenarios was done by means of a detailed simulation model. The simulation model for this specific case study is explained in detail. The results obtained showed an increase in the efficiency of the induction motor from the original system (scenario 1) to the improved system (scenario 2). Part of this paper provides an overview on hot rolling mills.

Hot Rolling Mill

This article considers the development of digital twins (DT) for the mechatronic facilities of the coiling machine group in a wide-strip hot rolling mill. The analysis of Russian and foreign sources confirmed that a lot of attention is paid to the economy digitalization. All of the leading metal plant equipment and electrical engineering system manufacturers are working on creating DTs. The analysis of the literature showed that the authors lack a uniform understanding of the conceptual directions in the creation of DTs and there are many definitions of this term. Therefore, the first part of the article deals with the analysis of the digital twin concepts according to their application at industrial companies. The authors substantiate the feasibility of the DT de-velopment for the electromechanical and mechatronic systems of the most complex metal production components, i.e., rolling mills. This initiative development is relevant due to the reconstruction of the 2500 wide-strip hot rolling mill at Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works PJSC (MMK PJSC) that involves the installation of unique equipment. Due to this, the development of DTs to implement the virtual commissioning of the equipment becomes a priority. The virtual adjustment of automation and process control systems is also required. This problem can be solved through the example of three coiling machines, each of which has electric and hydraulic auxiliary equipment. These coiling machines are used for rolling the heavy hot-rolled bar and they feature a unique design. Therefore, the development of DTs for mechatronic facilities is a novel scientific problem. The authors propose the methods for the development of DTs used in the virtual commissioning of process control systems. They present the structure of the coiling section automation system and the structure of the DT imple-mented on the basis of programmable logic controllers (PLC). The authors provide the specifications for the Siemens PLCs installed at each of the coiling machines and the coiling machine master controller. To develop the control systems for electric and hydraulic drives, it is recommended to use the Matlab Simulink software package. The authors provide temporal dependencies obtained using DTs and other similar oscillograph charts produced during the operation of the coiling machine that can help model the operation of the mechanisms in question. The results of their comparison show that the processes correspond to each other. Thus, the use of the developed DT to adjust the electrotechnical systems of rolling mills is reasoned. The accepted concept of making digital twins for the electrotechnical systems of rolling mill components is relevant and technically feasible

It is important to study the vibration of rolling mills to improve the stability of rolling production. A dynamic rolling process model is established by considering the elastic recovery of the exit strip and the influence of multiroll equilibrium, and the accuracy of the model is verified by experimental data. On this basis, based on the distribution of friction force in the deformation zone, the rolling force and rolling torque are nonlinearized. In addition, a rolling mill structure model is established by considering the structure gap and a piecewise nonlinear horizontal-vertical-torsional vibration model of the rolling mill is established by combining the structure model and dynamic rolling process model. Finally, the amplitude-frequency characteristics of the work roll under different external excitation amplitude and the dynamic bifurcation characteristics of the work roll under different gaps are analyzed. The study indicates that, by reducing excitation amplitude and structure gap, the system vibration can be reduced. The research results can provide a theoretical reference for further exploration of the coupling vibration of hot rolling mills.

The researches of durability in the exploitation of cast-iron rolls define experimentally an important chapter from the thermal fatigue of the organs of machines in the movement of rotation, in variable temperature mediums. The researches on the durability in exploitation of hot rolling mill rolls represent an important scientific and economical issue. This paper presents original experimental equipment by the help of which the durability of hot rolling mills can be studied. This experimental equipment permits the evaluation of exploitation durability for hot rolls by studying the thermal fatigue phenomenon which appears in the case of machine components. The exploitation durability is evaluated through thermal fatigue cycles up to crack point due to thermal fatigue for each condition and each type of studied material. The study represents a detailed approach of the influence of various technological factors on the durability in exploitation of rolling mill rolls made of different steel and pig iron grades and suggests solutions meant to increase the durability of the rolls in exploitation.

Ferrite Grain Size

Nb is added to C-Mn steels in order to use the solute drag and/or strain induced precipitation as a useful tool to condition the austenite in the hot rolling mill and produce during the subsequent cooling a refined ferrite grain size. The highest degree of refinement is obtained in conventional rolling mills by accumulating the deformation in austenite during the last passes, followed by early cooling in the run out table to produce a high density of nucleated ferrite grains. However, the maximum refinement is to a certain extent attenuated due to the ferrite grain coarsening taking place during the transformation. The present work analyses the different aspects limiting the final achievable ferrite grain refinement.

Complexity of modern metallurgical plants, presence of great number of horizontal and vertical interactions between their various structural subdivisions makes it necessary to apply a systems analysis to elaborate effective measures for stable development of a plant operation. Among such measures, digitalization of a plant is widespread at present. To implement the digitalization it is necessary to have clear vision about links at all the levels of the technological system of a plant. A terminology quoted, accepted in the existing regulatory documents for defining of conceptions, comprising the technological system. It was shown, that the following four hierarchical levels of technological systems are distinguished: technological systems of operations, technological systems of processes, technological systems of production subdivisions and technological systems of plants. A hierarchical scheme of technological systems of hot-rolled sheet production at an integrated steel plant presented. Existing horizontal and vertical links between the basic plant’s shops shown. Peculiarities of flows of material, energy and information at the operation “rolling” of the technological system “hot rolling of a steel sheet” considered. As a technical system of the technological process of the hot rolling, the hot rolling mill was chosen. A structural diagram of the hot rolling mill was elaborated, the mill being consisted of reheating furnaces, roughing and finishing stand groups, with an intermediate roll-table between them, and down-coilers section. Since the rolling stands are the basic structural elements of the hot rolling mill, structural diagrams of a roughing and a finishing stands were elaborated. Results of the systems analysis of the technological and technical systems, hierarchically linked in the process of steel sheet hot rolling, can be applied for perfection of organization structure of the whole plant, as well as for elaboration mathematical models of a system separate elements functioning, which is a necessary condition for a plant digitalization.

Rolling Mill Vibration

Based on the analysis of the influence of roll vibration on the elastoplastic deformation state of a workpiece in a rolling process, a dynamic rolling force model with the hysteresis effect is established. Taking the rolling parameters of a 1780 mm hot rolling mill as an example, we analyzed the hysteresis between the dynamic rolling force and the roll vibration displacement by varying the rolling speed, roll radius, entry thickness, front tension, back tension, and strip width. Under the effect of the dynamic rolling force and considering the nonlinear effect between the backup and work rolls as well as the structural constraints on the rolling mill, a hysteretic nonlinear vertical vibration model of a four-high hot rolling mill was established. The amplitude-frequency equations corresponding to 1/2 subharmonic resonance and 1:1 internal resonance of the rolling mill rolls were obtained using a multi-scale approximation method. The amplitude-frequency characteristics of the rolling mill vibration system with different parameters were studied through a numerical simulation. The parametric stiffness and nonlinear stiffness corresponding to the dynamic rolling force were found to have a significant influence on the amplitude of the subharmonic resonance system, the bending degree of the vibration curve, and the size of the resonance region. Moreover, with the change in the parametric stiffness, the internal resonance exhibited an evident jump phenomenon. Finally, the chaotic characteristics of the rolling mill vibration system were studied, and the dynamic behavior of the vibration system was analyzed and verified using a bifurcation diagram, maximum Lyapunov exponent, phase trajectory, and Poincare section. Our research provides a theoretical reference for eliminating and suppressing the chatter in rolling mills subjected to an elastoplastic hysteresis deformation.
