Abstract

In cold rolling of silicon steel strip, edge drop directly affects the side cutting and yield of silicon steel. To improve the edge drop of silicon steel in the cold rolling process, a multi-stand coordinated control strategy and model based on multi-objective optimization are proposed. The first step is to analyze the influence of each control stand work roll shifting (WRS) on edge drop through the finite element model (FEM), then determine the edge drop control effectiveness of each work roll shifting actuator. Meanwhile, a fitting model is proposed to solve the limitation caused by the discrete change of efficiency factors in solving the optimal adjustments of each WRS. On this basis, the target model for silicon steel edge drop control is formulated, and the optimal adjustment model of WRS of each stand is established. To realize the optimal coordinated control among the rolling mill stands, a multi-objective optimal model of edge drop control has been established by the overall modeling method. The improved penalty function algorithm is developed to calculate the optimal adjustment of WRS for each stand. The experiments and application show that the proposed multi-objective optimal control strategy and model can effectively improve the accuracy of edge drop control in silicon steel continuous cold rolling.
