In a plate rolling production line, thermomechanically controlled processing is critical for plate quality. In this paper, a set of intermediate cooling equipment of a two-stand plate mill with super density nozzles, medium pressure, and small flow is developed. Based on a simplified dynamic model, a cooling control scheme with combined feedforward, feedback, and adaptive algorithms is put forward. The new controlled rolling process and the highly efficient control system improve the controlled rolling efficiency by an average of 17.66%. The proposed intermediate cooling system can also effectively inhibit the growth of austenite grain, improve the impact toughness and yield strength of Q345B steel plate, reduce the formation of secondary oxide scale on the plate surface and the chromatic aberration of the plate surface, and greatly improve the surface quality of the steel plate.

The snake rolling can keep the plate shape well, and the larger shear strain produced by the snake rolling is conducive to the deformation penetrating into the center of the heavy plate. So it provides a new method for producing the high-performance heavy steel plate. However, there is little research on the plate curvature modeling which is the key to achieve the snake rolling process. The deformation region was divided into four different zones at most which was depended on the positions of the two neutral points, and this number could be dropped to three or two in some other conditions. It was divided into three different cases according to the neutral point position: I, II, III and IV; I, II and IV; II and IV. The unit pressure and the accumulated shear strain deviation between the top and bottom portions of the plate with every case were established, and the plate curvature caused by shear strain was calculated on this basis. The plate curvature caused by the axial strain was also calculated according to the flow criterion. The approximations are corrected by a fitting coefficient E. The homogeneity coefficient E was introduced during the plate curvature modeling process to make the model more accurate. Then the total plate curvature model was established. The simulation of snake rolling process is carried out by using ANSYS LS-DYNA, and the plate curvature results are compared with the theoretical method. The results showed that the maximum and minimum relative error of the model was 11.61% and 0.28% compared to the simulation method, which can be applied for the online plate curvature control application with the effect of some self-learning methods. The plate curvature affecting law with the different process parameters (roll offset, roll speed ratio, rolling reduction, plate thickness and so on) was obtained in this paper. The research about the plate curvature modeling will provide important references for the heavy steel plate snake rolling production.

The thickness measurement and monitoring of all kinds of equipment and parts, especially making general investigations on the thickness of boiler, pressure vessel and pipelines regularly, monitoring their thinning after corrosion in the process of using, and ensuring the safety production have attracted more and more attention among the companies. Based on the thickness measurement principle of pulse reflection type ultrasonic, the measurement method of the steel plate thickness was studied, and AVR Atmega16 single chip microcomputer as control chip was used. The analysis and comparison of ultrasonic transmitting circuit, receiving circuit, amplifying circuit, LCD display circuit, keyboard circuit, communication circuit, counter 232 AVR Atmega16 line were also included. The performance of this system regarding the steel plate as sample was tested, and then the data and the causes of measurement error were presented.

Modern steel plate manufacture relies on the manipulation of recrystallisation and grain growth in order to obtain maximised and precise mechanical properties from low-alloyed feedstock. The models that describe this metallurgical process nowadays inform the design of the plant itself. They are also capable of application to the on-line control of rolling, as well as to several of the ancillary mill operations.

The time-of-flight (TOF) of the electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) echo signal can be used to measure the steel plate thickness. There are two ways to obtain the TOF, which are measure the peak to peak time in the time domain and calculate the echo frequency in the frequency domain. In this paper, a simplified signal model is proposed based on the analysis of received signals. Further, the relationship between the echo signal and excitation signal is considered. The echo signal is separated when the asynchronous demodulation method is applied to the received signal, and the thickness of steel plate can be calculated according to the peak spectral frequency in the low frequency band. The simplified model and signal processing method are verified by the experiment, and the results show that the model is reasonable and the accuracy of the signal processing method is high.

In order to refine the microstructure and improve the mechanical properties of the thicker steel plate, the large rolling reduction should be conducted. Confined to the biting angle of rolling mill, the maximum press quantity is constant. The research indicates that shear stress produced in the deformation region during snake rolling process is helpful and the snake rolling method can be used in the thick steel plate production. The effective strain of steel plate with various roller speed ratio, plate thickness, fraction and roller speed was determined by numerical calculation method. By comparison, the effective strain changing law was obtained. The calculation results indicate that compared to traditional rolling process, the effective strain produced in the plate can be improved with the increase of roller speed ratio, and the deformation permeability can also be improved.
