Avoiding recrystallization of austenite in hot strip rolling of steels is highly important for enhancing mechanical properties of hot rolled products, as well as for the products undergoing cold rolling and annealing or coating. Recrystallization can only be avoided if its incubation time is longer that the time intervals characteristic for a particular hot rolling process. The present work focuses on computation of incubation time tinc for static recrystallization using laboratory hot deformation data and on extrapolation the results to industrial conditions. The computations are done based on application of critical conditions for initiation of dynamic recrystallization to the static case. No-recrystallization temperature in hot strip rolling is determined by setting tinc equal to interpass time. Simulations allow for prediction of the onset of austenite static or metadynamic recrystallization after individual rolling passes during industrial hot rolling and evaluation of the effects of strip thickness, rolling speeds, etc.

An accurate prediction of temperature and stress evolution in work rolls is crucial to assess the service life of the work roll. In this paper, a finite element method (FEM) model with a deformable work roll and a meshed, rigid body considering complex thermal boundary conditions over the roll surface is proposed to assess the temperature and the thermal stress in work rolls during hot rolling and subsequent idling. After that, work rolls affected by the combined action of temperature gradient and rolling pressure are investigated by taking account of the hot strip. The accuracy of the proposed model is verified through comparison with the calculation results obtained from the mathematical model. The results show that thermal stress is dominant in the bite region of work rolls during hot rolling. Afterwards, the heat treatment residual stresses which are related to thermal fatigue are simulated and introduced into the work roll as the initial stress to evaluate the redistribution under the thermal cyclic loads during the hot rolling process. Results show that the residual stress significantly changed near the roll surface.

In the reverse hot strip rolling, the coiling and uncoiling of the strip leads to unstable conditions during the forming process. Both the temperature of the strip and the dwell time in the coil vary and influence the microstructure evolution passing in the coil during reverse rolling. It makes the design of this process difficult. Therefore, development of the temperature model for the reverse hot rolling including coiling and uncoiling was the main objective of the paper. The identification of the unknown parameters of the boundary conditions is proposed. Methods for their determination are discussed. The analysis is performed on example of the reverse hot rolling of the magnesium alloy AZ31. The resulting temperature model reveals good agreement with thermocouple and pyrometer measurements.

In the hot strip rolling process, accurate prediction of bending force can improve the control accuracy of the strip flatness and further improve the quality of the strip. In this paper, based on the production data of 1300 pieces of strip collected from a hot rolling factory, a series of bending force prediction models based on an extreme learning machine (ELM) are proposed. To acquire the optimal model, the parameter settings of the models were investigated, including hidden layer nodes, activation function, population size, crossover probability, and hidden layer structure. Four models are established, one hidden layer ELM model, an optimized ELM model (GAELM) by genetic algorithm (GA), an optimized ELM model (SGELM) by hybrid simulated annealing (SA) and GA, and two-hidden layer optimized ELM model (SGITELM) optimized by SA and GA. The prediction performance is evaluated from the mean absolute error (MAE), root-mean-squared error (RMSE), and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). The results show that the SGITELM has the highest prediction accuracy in the four models. The RMSE of the proposed SGITELM is 11.2678 kN, and 98.72% of the prediction data have an absolute error of less than 25 kN. This indicates that the proposed SGITELM with strong learning ability and generalization performance can be well applied to hot rolling production.

In the hot strip rolling simulation system, the movement of looper lifter is divided into two stages. First the lifter rises freely, then it is collided with strip bar. For the dynamic simulating, the transfer models and parameters for two serial moment motors or hydraulic looper lifters are built. On the base of a new tension formula, the tension with looper lifter is got by folding.
