Based on the latest intelligent shape meter developed by Yanshan University, using PSO-BP neural network and actual working condition datum, the cold strip online dynamic wrapping angle compensation model is established, and successfully applied in 1250 mm 6-high cold mill, remarkable results are achieved.

Because the inevitable precipitation of TiN in high Ti-containing liquid steel decreases the volume fraction of TiN precipitated from austenite and the rapid coarse- ning rate leads to a large size of TiN particles, a relatively weak inhibition effect on the recrystallized grain growth was obtained compared with that in the low Ti-containing steel. However, the ferrite grain size in high Ti-containing steel can be refined by the so-called non-recrystallization rolling. The complex addition of Mn and Ti can improve the strength and toughness of strip remarkably, and the mechanisms are that Mn decreases the transformation tempera- ture, refines the ferrite grains, and enhances the formation of bainite and TiC precipitation in ferrite.展开更多

There- fore, four-high rolling mill vibrations take place in six degree of freedom （DOF） leading to spatial behaviors invol- ving vertical, horizontal, axial, torsional, cross and swinging vibration modes resulting in complex relative motions between the rolls. Two numerical methods, modified Riccati-transfer matrix method （Riccati-TMM） and finite ele- ment method （FEM）, are presented to analyze a spatial vibration characteristic of two four-high rolling mills with different stability. The natural frequency and mode shape of four-high rolling mills are obtained, and the clearance has a great effect on natural frequency and mode shape. In addition, field testing experiment is also conducted to measure natural frequency by power spectrum analysis of rolling mill vibration. Experimental results basically agree with those calculated by Riccati-TMM and FEM, which means that the Riccati-TMM and the FEM can be used for analysis of spatial vibration of four-high rolling mill. Meanwhile, the spatial vibration shows more compound vibra- tion behaviors and the negative effect of horizontal, vertical, cross and swinging vibration modes are effectively con- trolled after redesign of rolling mill. These advantages have a great significance for the rolling mill to be operated with a much higher rolling speed and improved yield of products.展开更多

The microstructure and mechanical properties of the rolled steels were investigated by scan- ning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and tensile tests. It was found that the ferrite and austenite structure gradually evolved into an ultrafine structure from the random directional lath structure to lamellar structure with lath longitudinal direction parallel to the rolling direction with increasing rolling strain. It was found that the thickness of the laths was gradually refined with increasing rolling strain. The lath thickness is about 0. 15 9m stored with high density dislocations and the austenite volume fraction of the steel is about 24% after 80% rolling reduction. Furthermore, it was interesting to find that yield strength, tensile strength and total elongation of the 80% rolled medium-Mn steel are about 1000 MPa, 1250 MPa and 24%, respectively, demonstrating an excellent combination of the strength and ductility. Based on the microstructure examination, it was proposed that the grain refinement of the medium-Mn steels could be attributed to the duplex structure and the low rolling temperature. Analysis of the relationship between the microstructure and the mechanical properties indicated that the high yield strength mainly resulted from the ultrafine grain size and the high density dislocation, but the improved ductili- ty may be attributed to the large fractions of austenite retained after intercritical rolling.展开更多

The differential equilibrium equations on forces were established to calculate the asymmetrical rolling force equation by slab method. An implicit expression of the minimum rolling thickness was then derived from the rolling force equation and Hitehcock equation. The results show that permissible minimum rolling thickness of asymmetrical rolling only exists within a specific range of cross-shear ratio, which is termed the cross-shear zone proportion of the whole de- formation zone. Numerical computation was carried out to obtain a discrete solution of the minimum rolling thick- ness. Experiments were designed to investigate the influence factors on cross-shear ratio. Finally, experimental re- sults prove the correctness of the improved formula given.展开更多

The strain rate vector inner product and integral mean value theorem, as well as coqine vector inner product are used respectively in plastic deformation power, friction losses and shear power. A theoretical solution of roll torque and separating force for the rolling is obtained and the calculated results by the solution are compared with those measured in broadside rolling on-line. It shows that both the force and torque calculated are higher than those of measured, but the maximum relative error between them is no more than 11%.展开更多

The samples were annealed at 950 ℃ for different time firstly, and then hot rolled or cooled in the air, in water and in furnace, respectively. Auger elee tron spectroscopy （AES） was used to study the effects of annealing and hot roiling on the segregation of arsenic at grain boundary （GB） in the steel. The results indicated that a higher content of arsenic was found at grain boundaries than in the matrix when the steel was annealed at 950 ℃ for 2 h and then cooled to room temperature by water quenching. But the content of arsenic at grain boundaries was similar to that in the matrix when the steel was an- nealed at 950 ℃ for 2 h and then cooled to room temperature by furnace cooling. A longer holding time, such as 12 h and 36 h at 950 ℃, resulted in a similar arsenic content at grain boundaries to that in the matrix of the steels. Hot rolling led to a similar content of arsenic at grain boundaries and within grains in the steels as well.展开更多

By analyzing the simulation results of conventional rolling processes, it was found that the plate plan view pattern was closely related to broadside rolling ratio. Then, the prediction models for plate plan view patterns were formulated by nonlinear regressive analysis of the simulation results and modified for high accuracy. Based on these models, the broadside compensation rolling method perform- ing at the last pass of broadside rolling phase was designed to decrease plate end crops. Comparing the plate plan view patterns with and without broadside compensation roiling, reduced plate end crops indicate that the broadside compensation roiling model is effective for plate plan view pattern control.展开更多

In simulations of granular flow using the discrete element method （DEM）, the effect of rolling resistance at contacts should be taken into account. However, even for the simplest case involving spherical particles, there is no agreement on what is the best way to define rolling and sliding; various versions of definitions and calculations of rolling and sliding were proposed. Some even suggest that a unique definition for rolling and sliding is not possible. We re-check previous studies on rolling and sliding in DEMs and find that some researchers made a conceptual mistake when dealing with pure sliding between particles of different sizes. After considering the particle radius in the derivation of rolling velocity, the results yield a unique solution. Starting with clear and unique definitions of pure rolling and sliding, we present the detailed derivation and validate our results by checking two special cases of rolling. The decomposition of the relative motion is objective; that is, independent of the reference frame in which the relative motion is measured.展开更多
