Dynamic Response Analysis of Tandem Rolling Mill in Rolling Process

Abstract

Due to the influence of rolling force fluctuations, tube size changes and material uniformity and other factors, vibration and other phenomenon inevitably occur in the rolling process of tandem rolling mill. This vibration has a great impact on the dynamic stability of the mill and rolling reduction, and will significantly reduce the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of seamless steel pipe. In this paper, the non-linear finite element software ABAQUS is used to simulate the rolling process of seamless steel pipe. First, rolling force of the first frame with the maximum rolling force of PQF rolling mill is calculated. The reliability of rolling force calculated by the finite element method is verified by the test experiment. The dynamic response analysis of the roll is carried out to obtain the dynamic response curve of the roll in the rolling state and to provide technical support for the rolling schedule with the calculated rolling force being the load.
