The Effects of Medium and Heavy Plate Manufacture Plan on Mill Pacing

Abstract

The paper is in the context of a plate milling system in Baosteel. Extracting the rolling data of plate, and according to the different order of plates out-stove, by determining the contiguous plates out-stove time interval and calculating the rolling time, we could judge the arrangement plan of manufacture plan in a roll changing period to achieve optimize mill pacing. On this basis, the paper puts forward a calculation method of the contiguous plates out-stove time, and proposes a series of suggestions to optimize the manufacture plan. It provides helpful practical experience to the mill pacing research.
