AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, when rolling thin strips through weld seams, improper control of the bending roll force of the UCMW type four-roll mill can easily cause problems such as tearing or cavitation at the edge of the strip, especially when maintaining stability under high-speed steady rolling conditions.
By determining the stress distribution across the strip cross section and the range of rolling force variation, the automatic bending force compensation value of the F3 work roll is rationally determined. Then, the automatic compensation bending process is adopted to adjust the bending force of the F3 work roll to match the rolling force variation, thereby achieving automatic control.
It improves the rolling stability of the weld area in the four-stand cold continuous rolling mill, reduces the probability of cavitation and edge cracking accidents caused by stress concentration at the edge or middle of the strip, and enhances the stability of mechanized operation.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of cold rolling mill technology, specifically to a method for improving the stability of the weld seam area in a four-stand cold rolling mill. Background Technology
[0002] In response to changes in steel grade specifications, roll position, rolling force, and roll diameter (including the small roll diameter of the three stands), the 1720 rolling mill uses the actual plate shape between each stand as a basis for determining the level of bending roll force in conjunction with the target plate shape requirements. Special attention is paid to the control level of bending roll force of the small roll diameter of the F3 stand work roll. Since the 1720 continuous rolling mill unit was upgraded in 2021, the roll diameter values of the three stands have been significantly reduced. Consequently, under the corresponding stable rolling conditions, the overall bending roll control ratio should decrease accordingly.
[0003] Under stable high-speed rolling conditions, the bending roll force is basically matched with the rolling force level; especially for thin-gauge rolling, micro-edge waviness control must be considered at the exit of the third stand; in the low-speed weld seam area, as the rolling force increases, the bending roll force must be compensated quickly and proportionally to achieve a reasonable bending roll level to ensure the straightness of the sheet between stands. Inappropriate bending roll settings or improper adjustments can lead to poor sheet shape, causing cavitation or edge tearing.
[0004] In the existing technology, the roll profiles of each stand of the UCMW type four-stand rolling mill have undergone significant changes: the work rolls and intermediate rolls of the F1 and F2 stands have the function of lateral movement and the work rolls have a convex roll profile. The work roll diameter of the F3 stand has been modified to a small roll diameter (300-340mm). The internal stress changes of the strip are extremely sensitive to the changes in the bending roll force of the F3 stand. When rolling thin specifications through the weld, if the bending roll force is controlled too high, it is easy to cause the edge to tear and break the strip; if the bending roll force is controlled too low, it is easy to cause the strip to open up.

[0007] (II) Technical Solution
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for improving the stability of the weld seam area in a four-stand cold continuous rolling mill, the specific operation of which is as follows:
[0009] S1. Determine the influence of the stress distribution on the cross section of the strip during the weld process. The determination includes: strip shape, F3 roll shape, and bending roll force.
[0010] S2. By analyzing the fluctuation range and amplitude of the F3 rolling force through the weld, the automatic bending force compensation value of the F3 work roll is reasonably determined.
[0011] S3. Automatically adjust the bending force of the F3 work roll based on the actual rolling force variable.
[0012] Preferably, in step S1, the range of rolling force changes caused by the changes in the weld seam and the high-speed steady rolling speed is determined, wherein the rolling speed and F3 rolling force are as follows:
[0013] When the rolling speed range is [100, 250), the change in rolling force ton of F3 is [100, 200);

[0017] When the F3 rolling force changes to [100, 200), the F3 bending roll force is automatically compensated to +4 tons.
[0018] When the change in F3 rolling force (ton) is less than -100, the automatic compensation for F3 bending roll force is -2 tons.
[0019] When the F3 rolling force changes to [-100, 0), the F3 bending roll force is automatically compensated to -4 tons.

[0023] This method for improving the stability of the weld seam area in a four-stand cold continuous rolling mill involves using an automatic compensation roll bending process for the weld seam rolling of the four-stand rolling mill.

[0029] S1. Determine the influence of strip cross-sectional stress distribution during the weld seam transition. This includes determining the strip shape, F3 roll shape, and bending roll force. Also determine the range of rolling force changes caused by variations in weld seam transition and high-speed steady rolling speed. Specifically, the rolling speed and F3 rolling force are as follows:
[0030] When the rolling speed range is [100, 250), the change in rolling force ton of F3 is [100, 200);
[0031] When the rolling speed range (mpm) is [250, 400), the change in rolling force (ton) of F3 is less than 100.

By incorporating the program into automatic control, the degree of mechanization is enhanced.
