Research on Roll Shape Design for Quarter Wave Control of High-Strength Steel

Abstract

Quarter wave defects often occur in high-strength steel production in wide rolling mills, which seriously affect product quality and production stability. The existing shape control actuators, such as roll bending, roll shifting, and CVC roll shape, can not adjust the high-order wave, and the upgraded CVCplus roll shape also has limited effects on the quarter wave. Therefore, the MVCplus roll shape is developed based on the superposition principle in order to realize the local roll shape modification at the wave position. Two cosine curves are superposed on the CVC roll shape within the strip width to decrease the reduction at the quarter of the strip width, and maximum reduction is achieved at the position of maximum wave height. The new roll shape can significantly reduce the quarter wave defects in practical application, and has little effect on the adjustment characteristics of the original CVC roll shape.
