Abstract

In order to analyze the flatness control characteristics for a certain UCMW (Universal Crown Mill with Work roll shifting) cold rolling mill, combined with the actual parameters in the field, a static simulation model of the quarter roll systems of the UCMW cold rolling mill was established by the ANSYS finite element software. The bearing roll gaps under the factors of the unit width rolling force, the roll bending force and the roll shift were calculated, which reflects the shape control characteristics and has a great influence on the friction and lubrication characteristics between the roll gaps. Additionally, the shape control strategy of the process parameters in the field was put forward. The results show that, at first, the work roll shift is the most effective shape control means, while the current-used range of the intermediate roll shift cannot make full use of the roll end contour of the intermediate roll, so the intermediate roll negative shift should be considered for shape control. At second, the excessive rolling force goes against the shape control, so the rolling force of each stand should be reasonably distributed. Finally, the shape control ability of the bending force is relatively weak, so the range of the work roll bending force should be appropriately increased.

Highlights

  • In recent years, with the increasing of downstream manufacturers’ requirements on the quality of cold-rolled strip products, the shape quality requirements on cold-rolled strips have become more stringent

  • The UCMW cold rolling mill is equipped with a work roll positive and negative bending roll mechanism and an intermediate roll positive bending roll mechanism to enhance the regulating ability of the bearing roll gap crown

  • In order to further grasp the shape control performance of the UCMW cold rolling mill during the rolling of non-oriented silicon steel, the effects of different factors on the bearing roll gap are grasped comprehensively by the finite element simulation combined with the parameters in the field, which can provide a theoretical basis for solving the shape problem in the field

Summary

Introduction

With the increasing of downstream manufacturers’ requirements on the quality of cold-rolled strip products, the shape quality requirements on cold-rolled strips have become more stringent. The UCMW (Universal Crown Mill with Work roll shifting) cold rolling mill, developed on the basis of the HC (High Crown) rolling mill, is the most representative one It has been widely used in rolling non-oriented silicon steel with strict quality requirements because of its great performance in shape control [1,2,3,4]. In order to further grasp the shape control performance of the UCMW cold rolling mill during the rolling of non-oriented silicon steel, the effects of different factors on the bearing roll gap are grasped comprehensively by the finite element simulation combined with the parameters in the field, which can provide a theoretical basis for solving the shape problem in the field
