Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of hot-rolled plate and strip manufacturing, and specifically relates to a control method for improving wedge-shaped accuracy through rolling load redistribution in a hot-rolled short process. Background Art

[0002] Due to its process characteristics, the CSP production line (thin slab continuous casting and rolling production line) can obtain a more stable temperature difference with the same plate compared with the conventional hot-rolled silicon steel furnace temperature. However, due to its high furnace temperature, the finishing process has a transformation from austenite to ferrite during the rolling process (temperature is about 1020-960℃). In order to further improve the efficiency of the production line, the thickness of the slab at the entrance of the finishing rolling reaches 75mm, and the wedge accuracy is controlled to be 94.31% according to the previous process. In order to ensure the same plate difference accuracy of the secondary material, the wedge accuracy needs to be increased to more than 96%.

[0003] When there are two-phase zone changes in the finishing mill, wedge control during rolling is a difficult point in the production process. The deviation of the wedge on both sides of the strip will affect the rolling stability. At the same time, hot-rolled secondary materials have high requirements for the wedge shape of the strip. Poor wedge accuracy cannot meet the requirements of secondary rolling in the subsequent process, which will cause quality loss and spot generation. Summary of the invention

[0007] The constant reduction rate mode is used to distribute the mill load: the reduction rates of F1 and F2 stands are limited to fixed values, and the secondary control system calculates the reduction rates of F3-F7 stands based on the fixed reduction rates of F1 and F2 stands;

[0008] Rolling load redistribution: After the plate is passed, compare the actual rolling load of the last stand with the set load difference. When the deviation between the actual rolling force and the set rolling force reaches the minimum effective force difference ratio, part of the load is distributed to the front stand.

[0009] Short-stroke control of rolling mill guide plate opening: For F2-F7 stands, set the head short-stroke opening, middle short-stroke opening and tail short-stroke opening.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The following describes specific embodiments, and the advantages and various effects of the present invention will be more clearly presented. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these specific embodiments and examples are used to illustrate the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention.

[0026] Throughout the specification, unless otherwise specifically stated, the terms used herein should be understood as the meanings commonly used in the art. Therefore, unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as those generally understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs, and if there is a conflict, this specification takes precedence.

[0027] like Figure 1 The Z-shaped temperature-stress-strain curve of phase transformation is shown as Figure 2 Shown is a schematic diagram of the strip wedge.

[0028] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that CSP rolling of electrical steel is different from conventional hot rolling, and there is two-phase rolling, and there is a transformation from austenite to ferrite during the rolling process (temperature is about 1020-960°C). During the two-phase rolling process, the rolling force will change significantly due to phase change. Under the change of 60Mpa, the strip will have a serious deviation in the finishing mill, resulting in a significant change in the wedge shape in the rolling mill, resulting in loss of wedge shape accuracy or wedge shape mutation.

[0029] In this regard, the present invention designs rolling control process parameters from three aspects: optimizing the rolling mill load distribution strategy under the constant reduction rate mode, rolling load redistribution parameters, and rolling mill guide plate opening short stroke. The specific technical scheme is as follows:

[0030] (1) Load distribution under constant pressure reduction mode

[0031] The constant reduction rate mode is an important function for further development of the second level of the rolling mill to improve quality control. Specifically, it refers to limiting the reduction rate of the F1\F2 frames to a fixed value. The secondary control system calculates the reduction rates of other frames after fixing the F1\F2 reduction rate. Controlling the reduction rate of the F3-F7 frames in the constant reduction rate mode is beneficial to improving the wedge control ability of silicon steel, especially reducing the load of the two-phase rolling frame is beneficial to wedge control. Among them, the mathematical models and algorithms involved in the calculation process of the secondary control system belong to the prior art, and the present invention will not go into details. The specific control parameters are shown in Table 1:

[0032] Table 1 The pressure reduction rate of each rack in the constant pressure reduction mode

[0033]

[0034] (2) Rolling load redistribution:

[0035] Rolling load redistribution (LDC) is to improve the stability of the rolling process, dynamically adjust the rolling load of the last stand during the rolling process to improve the plate shape control ability of the last stand. Its role is to distribute the load of the first step to the front stand by comparing the actual rolling load of the last stand and the set load difference after the plate is passed, so that the actual rolling load of the last stand is controlled, thereby avoiding strip deviation and improving wedge shape accuracy.

[0036] Table 2 Rolling load redistribution parameters

[0037]

[0038]

[0039] The maximum allocation ratio of the automatic gauge control (AGC) action in Table 2 refers to the maximum allocation ratio relative to the strip thickness. For example, if the strip thickness is 2.0 mm, the maximum allocation ratio is 10%, that is, the maximum AGC action amount does not exceed 0.2 mm. The minimum effective force difference ratio refers to the deviation between the actual rolling force and the set rolling force reaching the value of the set parameter, and LDC begins to take effect. The maximum allocation of AGC action to the rack refers to the maximum AGC action amount allocated to each rack.

[0040] (3) Short stroke control of rolling mill guide plate opening:

[0041] The short-stroke control of the rolling mill guide plate opening is to improve the stability during the rolling process, so that the guide plate can improve the centering of the strip entering the rolling mill without damaging the quality of the strip edge, so that the strip will not have uncontrolled deviation due to large changes in rolling force during the two-phase zone rolling process.

[0042] Table 3 Guide plate opening short stroke parameter table

[0043]

[0044] The function and mechanism of the main process in the present invention are:

[0045] The present invention controls the load distribution in the constant reduction mode. When the constant reduction is implemented for two-phase rolling, since there is a strength difference of 60Mpa in the two-phase rolling strip, in order to control the deviation stability of the strip in the strength difference range, the load of the phase change zone frame is reduced to improve the overall rolling stability, and the wedge control accuracy is improved by reducing the deviation of the strip.

[0046] The present invention controls the rolling load redistribution parameters. After the strip is threaded, because the actual thickness of the strip fails to hit the target thickness, the final stand will perform a thickness feedback closed loop, resulting in a deviation between the actual rolling force and the set rolling force. After the deviation occurs, the plate shape control ability of the final stand will be weakened due to excessive or insufficient rolling force, resulting in strip deviation and affecting the wedge shape accuracy. The rolling load redistribution solves the rolling force mismatch problem in the rolling process, improves the plate shape control ability of the final stand and improves the wedge shape accuracy.

[0047] The reason why the present invention controls the guide plate opening to a short stroke is to improve the guiding effect of the guide plates on the strip before and after the strip is threaded, reduce the deviation during the rolling process, and ensure the centering of the strip when entering the roll gap, so as to improve the wedge shape accuracy of the strip. However, the head and tail width and guide plate nodules must be considered comprehensively, and the guide plate opening cannot be simply reduced.

[0048] The present invention is further described in detail below through specific embodiments:

[0049] The weight percentage of the main components of the test steel grades in the following embodiments is: C: 0.02-0.005%, Si≥1.56%, Mn: 0.75-0.82%, P≤0.004%, S≤0.005%, Als: 0.02-0.03%, and the balance is iron and unavoidable impurities.
