Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a pulse current assisted two-roller hot rolling mill, belonging to the technical field of metal material processing and forming equipment. Background Art

[0002] In modern metal hot rolling processes, the technique of passing high-density DC pulses through the ends of the metal has become a significant innovation in traditional heat treatment methods. This technique operates by leveraging the local Joule heating and electroplastic effects of the current. Through local Joule heating, the high-density pulses rapidly heat the metal, raising the overall hot rolling temperature and thereby increasing its plasticity and ductility. This localized temperature increase improves the metal's plastic deformation capacity, thereby enhancing its processability. The electroplastic effect, acting at the microscopic level, alters the material's microstructure, optimizing grain size and distribution, thereby enhancing its overall mechanical properties. This technique not only improves surface quality but also effectively reduces residual stress and achieves uniform microstructure through uniform heating with high-density pulses. Devices employing this technique are simple to operate and offer rapid performance adjustments, significantly improving product performance without significantly increasing costs. This method is not only highly efficient and offers significant gains, but also significantly reduces costs by reducing energy consumption and raw material loss. In summary, the application of DC high-density pulse current in the field of metal hot rolling has demonstrated its outstanding technical advantages and broad development prospects.

[0016] A pulse current assisted two-roll hot rolling mill includes a frame 2, a slide rail 7, a high-density electric pulse power supply 1 and a self-cooling brush 5. The main body of the frame 2 is a two-roll rolling mill. The slide rail 7 is fixed to the frame 2 by a positioning screw 3. There are two self-cooling brushes 5, which are respectively connected to the front and rear sides of the frame 2 through the slide rail 7. The positive and negative poles of the high-density electric pulse 1 power supply are respectively connected to the front and rear two self-cooling brushes 5.

[0017] The self-cooling brush mechanism includes a liquid-cooled radiator 8, a copper thermal conductive fixture 9, a conductive isolation gasket 10, a thin copper sheet 11 and a fastening bolt 12. The liquid-cooled radiator 8 is fixed on the copper thermal conductive fixture 9, and the thin copper sheet 11 and the conductive isolation gasket 10 are placed alternately and fixed by the fastening bolt 12.

[0018] There are two groups of slide rails 7, which are respectively located at the front and rear sides of the roller and fixed to both sides of the frame 2 by positioning screws 3.

[0019] It also includes a sliding sleeve 4, which is sleeved on the sliding rail 7. The sliding sleeve 4 is provided with a limiting hole, and the number of the limiting holes is more than one.

[0020] In practice, eight positioning holes matching the slide rails 7 are provided on each of the left and right sides of the frame 2, distributed in the front and rear positions. The two sets of slide rails 7 on the left and right sides are fixed with positioning screws 3. The sliding sleeve 4 matches the size of the slide rails 7, allowing it to slide freely up and down along the slide rails 7. It is provided with a set of positioning holes, which can be fixed with screws in the appropriate position.

[0021] In the main body, two self-cooling brushes 5, front and rear, slide vertically via a sliding sleeve 4 connected to a slide rail 7. Each brush 5 consists of a liquid-cooled heat sink 8, a copper heat-conducting retainer 9, a conductive isolation pad 10, and a thin copper sheet 11. These components are each provided with four corresponding positioning holes for secure fixation via four fastening bolts 12. Example

[0022] Nickel-based alloy GH4169 with a cross-sectional size of 25 cm × 100 cm and a length of 8 m was subjected to pulse current assisted two-roll hot rolling and rolled into a plate with a thickness of 18 cm in one pass.

[0023] First, adjust the front self-cooling brush 5 to be flush with the upper roller by adjusting the sleeve 4. Then, tighten the set screws on the sleeve 4 to secure it. Repeat the same process to align the rear self-cooling brush 5 with the lower roller. Turn on the liquid cooling radiator 8 on the self-cooling brush 5. Then, turn on the high-density pulse power supply 1 and calculate and adjust the current using the following formula.

[0024]

[0025] Where J is the current density in A / cm², and ρ is the resistivity in 10 -8 ·Ω·cm, K is thermal conductivity, unit is W / (cm·K).

[0026] The alloy material is heated to 900°C and placed in a transmission device for electric pulse assisted hot rolling. After the hot rolling process is completed, the high-density pulse power supply 1, the liquid cooling radiator 8, and finally the hot rolling mill are turned off in sequence to complete the entire rolling process.

[0027] This method increases the hot-rolling temperature and ductility of metals, thereby improving plastic deformation and enhancing their processing properties. It also utilizes high-density pulsed current to improve surface quality, reduce residual stress, and homogenize the structure. This method offers the advantages of rapidity, high efficiency, significant gains, low cost, and simple operation.
