Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cold-rolled steel technology, and in particular to a method for preventing ridge formation in acid-rolled wide and thin strip steel. Background Technology

[0002] With economic development, automotive and home appliance users have increasingly higher requirements for the quality of cold-rolled products, particularly regarding the shape and thickness precision of cold-rolled strips. Edge-forming defects, also known as "bulges," "bumps," or "protrusions," frequently occur during the production of wide and thin strips. These defects are caused by the gradual accumulation of surface high points, waviness, uneven performance, or residual stress during the production process of cold-rolled thin strip steel, resulting in strip-shaped bulges and ridges along the length of the strip. This defect can easily lead to the downgrading or even scrapping of cold-rolled sheets, making it a common defect in the production of cold-rolled thin strip steel and affecting its quality. Therefore, we propose a method to avoid edge-forming in acid-rolled wide and thin strip steel. Summary of the Invention

[0033] Example:

[0034] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention is a method for avoiding ridge formation in acid-rolled wide and thin strip steel. Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of a method for avoiding edge formation in acid-rolled wide and thin strip steel according to an embodiment of the present invention. The equipment used includes a cold rolling mill 11, which includes a first stand S1, a second stand S2, a third stand S3, a fourth stand S4, and a fifth stand S5. Each stand includes an upper roll system and a lower roll system arranged opposite to each other. Both the upper roll system and the lower roll system include work rolls, intermediate rolls, and support rolls. A coiler body 10 is provided at the exit of the fifth stand S5. A strip forming roll 14 is provided between the coiler body 10 and the fifth stand S5. The first stand S1, the second stand S2, the third stand S3, the fourth stand S4, and the fifth stand S5 are all equipped with work roll bending rolls and intermediate roll bending roll devices. The coiler body 10 is used to coil the rolled strip steel 13. The strip forming roll 14 is used to detect the strip shape of the strip steel 13. The work roll bending roll and intermediate roll bending roll devices are used to adjust the strip shape of the strip steel 13.

[0035] The control method for the cold rolling mill 11 includes:

[0036] System model control:

[0037] 1. The roll gap crown compensation gain was reduced by -0.025 through the system model;

[0038] 2. A rolling force and bending roll force following program was developed. The rolling force and bending roll force following program is: △F×△WR / △FF×FFgain=△WR, which avoids the situation where the rolling force and bending roll force are mismatched.

[0039] This method for avoiding edge formation in pickled and rolled wide and thin strip steel involves reducing the roll gap crown compensation gain by -0.025 through a system model during the production of wide and thin strip steel on the pickling and rolling line; and developing a rolling force and bending roll force following program to avoid mismatch between rolling force and bending roll force.

[0040] Production process control:

[0041] Step 1: Reduce the bending force of the intermediate rolls in stands S1-S4 by 60-100KN and the bending force of the work rolls in stands S1-S4 by 80-120KN. The initial range of the bending force of the work rolls in stands S1-S4 is 150-250KN, with an initial value of 150KN. By reducing the bending force, the increase in the equivalent crown of the rolls is offset, thereby reducing the actual equivalent crown of the roll gap.

[0042] Step 2: Reduce the load distribution of the S4 stand by 10%. The original load of the S4 stand is 100%. By reducing the reduction rate of the wide and thin S4 stand by 10%, the thermal crown of the S4 stand rolls during production is reduced, and the occurrence of medium waves in the strip after the S4 stand entering the S5 stand is slowed down.

[0043] Step 3: Reduce the exit coiling unit tension from 50 MPa to 45 MPa. Reducing the exit coiling tension decreases the axial force caused by poor strip shape during the coiling process of strip 13, thus slowing down the tendency of strip 13 to develop sharp edges.

[0044] Step 4: Modify the strip shape curve on the human-machine interface. Adjust the target strip shape curve according to the requirements of different production lines. Adjust the strip shape curve of thin specifications with a thickness <0.8mm to edge wave (2-5IU). Set the strip shape control of strip 13 to edge wave mode to change the trend of wide and thin with medium wave.

[0045] By implementing the above measures and steps, the problem of surface ridges in the production of wide and thin strip steel 13 during pickling and rolling was solved, and the surface quality of strip steel 13 was improved.

[0046] In the above scheme, in the first step of system model control, the roll gap crown compensation value is reduced by -0.025, and the initial roll gap crown is reduced from 0.12 to 0.095.

[0047] In the above scheme, in the second step of system model control, the rolling force bending roll force following program is: △F×△WR / △FF×FF gain=△WR, where: △F: the difference between the set rolling force and the actual rolling force; △WR / △FF: the bending roll force required for a unit change in rolling force; FF gain: the feedforward gain of the rolling force; △WR: the final work roll bending roll compensation value, which is a real-time variable.

[0048] In the above scheme, in the first step of production process control, the initial range of bending force of the working rolls of frames S1-S4 is 150-250KN, and the initial value of bending force of working rolls 1-4 is 150KN.

[0049] In the above scheme, in the second step of production process control, the original load of the S4 stand is 100%, and it is adjusted before the wide and thin sheets enter the rolling process.

[0050] In the above scheme, the specific width range is 1800mm-2100mm, and the thickness range is 0.45mm-0.8mm.

[0051] In the above scheme, in the fourth step of production process control, the strip 13 shape is detected by the strip shape instrument of the 5-stand exit rolling mill, and the strip shape curve is modified on the human-machine interface, so that the strip 13 shape can be adjusted accordingly.

[0052] In the above scheme, the front end of the cold rolling mill 11 is provided with a mill inlet tension roller group 12, which can be used to adjust the tension of the strip 13 at the inlet.

[0053] In the above scheme, the coiler body 10 is used to coil the rolled strip steel 13, the strip shape roller 14 is used to detect the strip shape of the strip steel 13, and the work roll bending roller and intermediate roll bending roller device are used to adjust the strip shape of the strip steel 13.

[0054] This method for avoiding edge formation in acid-rolled wide and thin strip steel includes two parts: system model control and production process control. Pre-control is performed according to the system model control settings. Then, the production process control steps are as follows: First, reduce the bending force of the intermediate rolls in stands S1-S4 by 60-100KN and the bending force of the work rolls in stands S1-S4 by 80-120KN; Second, reduce the load distribution of stand S4 by 10%; Third, reduce the exit coiling unit tension from 50MPa to 45MPa; Fourth, adjust the target shape curve according to the requirements of different production lines, adjusting the shape curve of thin specifications with a thickness <0.8mm to edge waviness (2-5IU). By implementing this method, the equivalent crown of the rolls during wide and thin strip steel production is reduced, the waviness tendency during wide and thin strip steel production is decreased, and the coiling tension is reduced.

[0055] In the wide and thin strip production process of the pickling and rolling line, the coiler body 10, cold continuous rolling mill 11, mill inlet tension roll group 12 and strip roll 14 are used to process the strip steel 13. The roll gap crown compensation gain is reduced by -0.025 through the system model. A rolling force bending roll force following program is developed to avoid the mismatch between rolling force and bending roll force. In the production process control, the bending roll force of the intermediate roll of the 1-4 stands is reduced by 60-100KN, the bending roll force of the work roll of the S1-S4 stands is reduced by 80-120KN, the load distribution of the S4 stand is reduced by 10%, the unit tension of the exit coiler is reduced from 50Mpa to 45Mpa, and the target strip shape curve is adjusted according to the requirements of different production lines. The strip shape curve of thin specifications with a thickness <0.8mm is adjusted to edge waves.

[0056] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
