Rolling Force Calculation for Strip Cold Rolling Based on Influence Function Method

Abstract

The rolling force calculation procedure of strip cold rolling is developed based on influence function method, with consideration of the couple of roll flattening model and rolling force model. With the procedure total rolling force and the distribution of rolling force per width of each pass for HC mill are calculated using sampling data obtained from actual strip rolling. Comparing the calculation results with actual measured value, it is shown that the calculated total rolling forces are similar to actual data, and the distribution of rolling force per width is consistent with the actual status. It proved that the calculation method introduced in this paper is an effective method to calculate rolling force, and it can be used in the process control of strip cold rolling mill.
