[0048] S12 detection and adjustment, in the rolling process, the diameter and ovality of the bar are detected in real time by using an online laser diameter gauge, and the rolling process parameters and straightening process parameters are adjusted in time according to the detection results to ensure that the ovality of the bar is always controlled within 0.1;

[0049] In which, the electrical control adopts steel drawing, and the excess deformation is digested by changing the speed, since the deformation is very small, the steel normally slips between the rolling mills, so the drawing state does not affect the fullness condition;

[0050] The process involves using a short stress line mill as the main frame, installing a circular mill after the short stress line, with the rolls of the circular mill forming a 90-degree angle with the short stress line mill, and installing a sub-mill in front of the main frame, approximately 3-5 cm away from the rolls of the main frame. The sub-mill is unpowered, and after biting in, it is equivalent to a drawing die.

[0051] Please see Figure 1 Composed of two identical circular holes, this system sets a relatively large steel pulling condition. The larger part can be pulled down through the circular holes. Due to the principle of equal flow rate per second and the rotation speed being greater than the rolling speed, the steel slips in the holes, thus preventing the steel from widening. The two orthogonal holes pull the relatively larger surface of each face to the required size. The two holes have a 30-degree intersection angle, so this hole system has very low equipment requirements. Slight misalignment and cross-movement have little impact on its ellipticity and will not produce unsightly indentations or other defects on the finished product surface. At the same time, the amount of misalignment will be automatically corrected by the holes, and the amount of misalignment will be eliminated by the arc surface, thus achieving a circular shape.

[0052] By adopting this die system, the expansion angle of the finished die can be further increased, thereby eliminating the formation of ears during the trial rolling process. Theoretically, this die should not produce ears. As long as the minimum size of the incoming material is larger than the die size, perfect roundness can be achieved.

[0053] Furthermore, this solution can significantly improve the dimensional accuracy of bars. By precisely controlling the rolling parameters and processes of the four-roll gauge mill, the dimensional accuracy of bars can be improved to a level exceeding the first set of accuracy, meeting the high precision requirements of high-end applications. It can also effectively control the ellipticity of bars. By adopting reasonable rolling processes and roll adjustment methods, the ellipticity of bars can be controlled within 0.1, making the cross-sectional shape of the bars more regular and improving the consistency and stability of the products.

[0054] Furthermore, this solution can improve the surface quality of the bar stock. During the rolling process, by optimizing rolling parameters and cooling methods, it reduces the generation of defects and cracks on the surface of the rolled product, thereby improving the surface quality of the bar stock and increasing production efficiency. The application of precise rolling parameter control and online detection system reduces the generation of scrap and the adjustment time during the rolling process, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0055] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
