This paper proposes an automatic control strategy of the strip width in cold rolling process. The prediction model for the exit strip width of each stand is established. In addition to the strip width variation of the incoming hot-rolled material between the measured and the pre-set values, the variations of the rolling force, tension, bending force and the roll shift amount of each stand are utilized to model and forecast the stand exit width deformation. Then, the model can be used to determine the compensation values of the different profile adjustment mechanism and the exit strip width can be controlled in high accuracy. In this way, the effect of the strip width variation of the incoming hot-rolled material and the fluctuation of the stand rolling process parameters on the exit strip width can be eliminated. Moreover, the feed-forward control of the strip width can reduce the incidence of abnormal situation, such as the strip breakage and off-tracking ,and improve the stability of the cold rolling process.

A feed-forward control method for cold rolled strip flatness is put forward. That is to carry out feed-forward compensation to bending force of the stand, so as to mitigate the complex influence caused by changes of rolling force and tension in rolling process on strip flatness based on regular flatness feedback control which focus on the last stand, according to changes in stand rolling force, inlet tension and outlet tension measured. Result shows that this technique not only increased the flatness quality of the strip cold-rolled, but also increased the stability of cold-rolling process of thin strip when it was actually applied in a cold tandem mill.

In this paper, the simulation model of the cold rolling process of the deep groove bearing inner ring was established by using the finite element software Deform-3D. The numerical calculation of the model was made with different process parameters. The law of the influence the process parameters on the rolling force was analyzed. The deformation mechanism of the cold rolling process of the inner ring was revealed. The research indicated that the feed rate of idle roller had the greatest influence on the cold rolling process. Finally the experiment using the XS-50 precision CN ring rolling machine was carried on and a finished product of the inner ring of a better quality came out. It verified that the numerical simulation could provide theoretical basis for the practical production process.

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.

Guide rolls play an important role in controlling both the ring circularity and the stability of cold ring rolling process. However, it is difficult to predict and control the motion of the guide rolls due to the complexity of process associated with the coupled effects of multi-factors. In this paper, a reasonable controlling model of the guide rolls is proposed, and the functional relationship between the motion track of the guide rolls and their setup parameters and process ones is established, by which the guide rolls motion track can be determined. On this basis, a 3D-FE simulation model for cold ring rolling is developed under the ABAQUS software environment and the effects of the initial position and motion track of the guide rolls on the forming stability, ring circularity, rolling force, and oscillating are investigated. Taking the forming stability and ring circularity as objects, the optimum initial position and motion track of the guide rolls are obtained.

The cold rolling effect on the hydrogen permeability (TH value) and on the microstructure have been studied on samples prepared from Al-killed low carbon steel sheets after several cold rolling levels. The TH values of the hot rolled strips were very short, but due to the cold rolling increase exponentially. The fragmentation of large cementite phase has a significant influence on the evolution of texture during the cold rolling process. The cold deformation effects on the TH value were studied on four annealed enamelling grade steel sheets also. Depending on the carbides sizes and carbides position in ferrite grains after annealing the TH values increase or decrease after low deformation degrees, due to the steel texture modification and dislocation character. Dislocations act as major tripping site for hydrogen, if deformation degree is higher than 30%.

3D model of 6006 gulley ball bearing inner ring is established in this paper. Based on the study of finite element numerical simulation on the cold rolling process of inner ring by Deform-3D software, the paper shows the influence of the feed rate of idle roller, rotational rate of driving roller as well as wide-diameter ratio on the rules of rolling forming of bearing inner ring. Through the research of numerical simulation, it is discovered that feed rate of idle roller and wide diameter ratio have a greater impact on the ring end surface quality larger than rotational rate of driving roller does. Thus, process parameters should be chosen reasonably according to mold parameters and material parameters, which will help improve the stability of the cold rolling process and the rolling production efficiency.

For cold rolling process, the theoretical Bland-Ford-Hill model and Hitchcock model are used for the rolling force and roll flatten radius calculation. Friction coefficient and deformation resistance are calculated with empirical regression models. From rolling force model, the recalculation model for the friction coefficient and deformation resistance can be derived. After rolling, with actual measured data, friction coefficient and deformation resistance can be recalculated, and model parameter can be got by regression method. The practical application verifies that the accuracy of rolling force calculation model is good.

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.
