Research on the Minimum Rolled Thickness of Strip Steel in Cold Tandem Rolling

Abstract

In consideration of the zone between rolls and deformed area where friction at roll-sheet interface is lower than predetermined value of Coulomb friction in rolling process of ultrathin strip steel, fully integrated with equipment and process features of cold tandem mills, after a large number of field experiments and theoretical studies, on the basis of the improvement of ultrathin strip steel rolling force model, with the allowable rolling pressure and production efficiency as constraint condition, a new calculated theory about the minimum rolled thickness was put forward. What’s more, the theory will be used in the productive practice of 1220 five-rack cold tandem mills of China. The technique has the value to be further popularized.
