Model development of work roll wear in hot strip mill

Abstract

This paper, based on the analysis of the main factors(specific roll force, mean roll surface temperature, irregular edge wear and contact arc length) affecting roll wear, designed a new work roll wear model, the test data shows that the model can more accurately reflect the work roll wear, can be on-line prediction of work roll wear. The roll wear curve, including constant wear and irregular edge wear, presents a box shape, and the reasons also are showed in this paper. The top roll wear and bottom roll wear in the same mill are inconsistent, and the reasons are also analysed in this paper. Results show that the construction of the work roll mathematical model accords with the general law of work roll wear and tear; it can more accurately forecast roll wear online.
