板带轧机工作辊混合变凸度辊形研究

三次连续变凸度(Continuously variable crown, CVC)辊形凸度控制能力与带钢宽度之间的二次函数关系决定其在宽、超宽板带轧机上应用时表现出对窄规格带钢的凸度控制能力不足的缺点。通过对工作辊变凸度辊形及辊缝形成理论的深入研究,提出采用二次多项式曲线来线性化辊缝的方法。采用该方法设计完全线性变凸度辊形曲线与混合变凸度工作辊辊形曲线,使二次辊缝凸度调节能力与带钢宽度在工作辊全长或在设计要求的宽度范围内呈严格线性关系,同时保持与窜辊位置呈线性关系。与CVC辊形相比,混合变凸度辊形的辊径差小、凸度调节能力大,既不削弱对宽带钢的凸度调节能力,又增加对窄带钢的凸度调节能力,从而增强轧机的整体板形控制能力。     

LVC工作辊在超宽带钢热轧机的应用

分析了超宽带钢轧机的板形控制特性,指出其在板形控制方面的不足.为增加超宽带钢热轧机的板形调节能力,开发了线性变凸度(LVC)工作辊,实现板形调节与带钢宽度成线性关系,其板形控制性能优于CVC技术.建立了LVC工作辊的板形控制策略模型,在超宽带钢热轧机上实现了长期稳定应用.生产实绩表明,LVC工作辊可显著提高带钢的凸度控制精度,对凸度控制要求严的供冷轧料和凸度难控制的高强度管线钢,其凸度控制在50±18mm的比例可达96%以上.     

五次CVC工作辊辊形与板形控制特性

连续变凸度(Continuously variable crown,CVC)轧机是宽带钢和超宽带钢轧机的主流机型,目前均采用三次CVC辊形,能较好地实现对辊缝二次凸度的连续调整,但不具备高次浪形控制能力,且对窄带钢凸度控制能力较弱。五次CVC辊形具有高次浪形控制能力,但由于缺乏系统深入的研究,尚未成功地实现工业应用。在对五次CVC辊形参数与辊缝凸度之间的关系进行深入分析的基础上,提出一种五次CVC辊形的设计方法,并对其板形控制特性进行研究,结果表明通过辊形的合理设计,五次CVC辊形能够有效均衡轧机对宽窄带钢的二次凸度控制能力,且四次凸度控制特性符合宽带钢轧机尤其是超宽带钢轧机的板形控制需求。进一步分析五次CVC辊形与现已开发的多种变凸度工作辊辊形之间的关系,认为五次CVC辊形能几乎替代目前常用变凸度工作辊辊形,具有极强的推广应用价值。     

万能凸度轧机中间辊偏移板形调控能力分析

1420单机架万能凸度轧机(Universal crown mill,UCM)轧制极薄带时,中间辊偏移对正向轧制与负向轧制时工作辊弯辊、中间辊弯辊及中间辊窜辊的板形调控特性存在一定的影响,从力学角度分析辊系的受力状态,并运用LS-DYNA有限元软件建立显示动力学模型,定量计算中间辊不偏移轧制与正向偏移轧制及负向轧制时各板形调控手段的调控特性。计算结果显示轧机中间辊不偏移时,工作辊弯辊力与带钢凸度呈线性关系,随着工作辊弯辊力的增大,带钢凸度减小;当中间辊偏移时,工作辊弯辊调控功效要大于中间辊不偏移时,且正向轧制的弯辊调控功效要优于负向轧制;中间辊弯辊调控特性表现出与工作辊弯辊相似的变化趋势。不同中间辊窜辊的板形调控能力变化不大,不偏移轧制与负向轧制调控能力基本相同,正向轧制在窜辊量为15~30 mm范围内,其调控能力好于另外两种轧制工况。     

冷轧无取向硅钢横向厚差控制

冷轧中中低牌号的无取向硅钢多采用万能凸度轧机(Universal crown mill,UCM)生产,其板形好坏受制于UCM轧机板形调节手段的协调使用.为掌握UCM轧机的板形控制特点,建立基于二维变厚度有限元的辊系弹性变形和基于三维差分的轧件塑性变形的六辊轧机耦合模型,对UCM轧机的板形调控性能进行详尽的分析,包括工作辊和中间辊弯辊、中间辊窜辊的调控功效、辊间接触压力分布等.在此基础上,提出可用指导生产的板形控制策略,指出UCM轧机在横向厚差控制方面的不足.针对工业生产中UCM轧机轧制无取向硅钢横向厚差大的问题,在大量仿真计算的基础上,开发具有高次曲线函数的边部变凸度(Edge variable crown,EVC)的工作辊.采用该工作辊后,各种品种的无取向硅钢的横向厚差不大于10 μm的百分比由24%提高到99%,横向厚差的均值小于6μm,远小于之前的13μm.     

冷轧机板形调节能力分析方法的研究与应用

某六辊连续变凸度(Continuously variable crown,CVC)冷轧机组装备了工作辊弯辊、中间辊弯辊和中间辊窜辊等多种板形控制方式,较四辊轧机有着更宽的凸度调节域,但仍难以调节窄带钢出现的边中复合浪。在对各种方式的效应函数之间的差别进行分析后,提出以一组相互正交的矢量,称为特征矢量,描述轧机整体的板形调节特性。进而以特征矢量与某一板形缺陷之间的相似度的平方和判断该缺陷能否被消除。经分析,该轧机板形调节特征矢量与窄带钢边中浪之间的相似度过低是导致其难以消除的原因。相应提出在第5机架采用单侧倒角工作辊,并降低工作辊弯辊力的解决方案。该方案已用于实际生产,在消除带钢边中浪方面取得明显效果,所轧带钢边浪基本被消除,中浪得到缓解。     

VC轧辊的承载特性研究

对控制压力与轧制力共同作用下的VC(variable crown)轧辊的承载特性进行了研究。基于所开发的VC轧辊系统,分析了辊缝形状和辊缝凸度与轧制力及控制压力的关系,提出了临界最大控制轧制力的概念。研究结果表明:当轧制力小于轧辊系统的最大临界控制轧制力时,其板形控制能力优于同规格的实心平辊;当控制压力较大且轧制力较小时,轧辊系统可以实现零凸度或负凸度的负载辊缝。     

VC轧机内辊型优化设计技术的开发

针对VC辊轧机在大轧制压力轧制时,套筒塌陷位移抵消VC辊油压凸度、减弱轧机的板形控制效果并引起成品带钢产生双边浪板形缺陷的问题,充分结合VC轧机的设备与工艺特点,提出了一套VC辊内辊型优化设计技术,通过对VC轧辊套筒内凸式辊型的设计,使得轧机在大轧制压力轧制时,套筒内壁与芯轴表面出现局部接触,从而将套筒的塌陷位移控制在允许的范围内,抑制了双边浪等板形缺陷的发生,提高了VC轧机的板形控制范围,进一步拓宽了VC轧机的应用领域。

PROFILE AND FLATNESS CONTROL SYSTEM IN 1 700 mm HOT STRIP MILLS OF ANSTEEL

Varying contact-length backup roll and linearly variable crown work roll are provided for improving the mill performance of profile and flatness control. Integrated with theses technologies, relevant profile and flatness control models are developed for hot strip mills on the basis of large amount of finite element calculation.

Such a profile and flatness control system with full functions is applied in 1 700 mm industrial hot strip mills of Ansteel. Large amount of production data shows that the crown precision with the tolerance of±18 μm is over 90%, the strip percentage which the actual flatness is within ±25 I-unit surpasses 96%, and general roll consume is reduced by 28% by using the profile and fiatness control system. In addition, schedule-free rolling is realized.     

Coupled dynamic modeling of rolls model and metal model for four high mill based on strip crown control

The crown is a key quality index of strip and plate,the rolling mill system is a complex nonlinear system,the strip qualities are directly affected by the dynamic characteristics of the rolling mil.At present,the studies about the dynamic modeling of the rolling mill system mainly focus on the dynamic simulation for the strip thickness control system,the dynamic characteristics of the strip along the width direction and that of the rolls along axial direction are not considered.In order to study the dynamic changes of strip crown in the rolling process,the dynamic simulation model based on strip crown control is established.The work roll and backup roll are considered as elastic continuous bodies and the work roll and backup roll are joined by a Winkler elastic layer.The rolls are considered as double freely supported beams.The change rate of roll gap is taken into consideration in the metal deformation,based on the principle of dynamic conservation of material flow,the two dimensional dynamic model of metal is established.The model of metal deformation provides exciting force for the rolls dynamic model,and the rolls dynamic model and metal deformation model couple together.Then,based on the two models,the dynamic model of rolling mill system based on strip crown control is established.The Newmark-β method is used to solve the problem,and the dynamic changes of these parameters are obtained as follows:(1) The bending of work roll and backup roll changes with time;(2) The strip crown changes with time;(3) The distribution of rolling force changes with time.Take some cold tandem rolling mill as subject investigated,simulation results and the comparisons with experimental results show that the dynamic model built is rational and correct.The proposed research provides effective theory for optimization of device and technological parameters and development of new technology,plays an important role to improve the strip control precision and strip shape quality.     

Research and application of non-symmetrical roll bending control of cold rolling mill

The existing research of the flatness control for strip cold rolling mainly focuses on the calculation of the optimum adjustment of individual flatness actuator in accordance with the flatness deviation,which can be used for general flatness control.However,it does not work for some special rolling processes,such as the elimination of ultra single side edge-waves and the prevention of strip break due to tilting roll control overshooting.For the purpose of solving these problems,the influences of non-symmetrical work roll bending and intermediate roll bending on flatness control were analyzed by studying efficiencies of them.Moreover,impacts of two kinds of non-symmetrical roll bending control on the pressure distribution between rolls were studied theoretically.A non-symmetrical work roll bending model was developed by theoretical analysis in accordance with practical conditions.The model was applied to the revamp of a 1250 6-H reversible universal crown mill (UCM) cold mill.Theoretical study and practical applications show that the coordination utilization of the non-symmetrical work roll bending control and tilting roll control was effective in flatness control when there appeared bad strip single side edge waves,especially when the incoming strip was with a wedge shape.In addition,the risk of strip break due to tilting control overshooting could be reduced.Furthermore,the non-symmetrical roll bending control can reduce the extent of uneven distribution of pressure between rolls caused by intermediate roll shifting in flatness control and slow down roll wear.The non-symmetrical roll bending control technology has important theoretical and practical significance to better flatness control.
