[0002] The rolling imprint defect generated in the cold rolling process of aluminum plates is a technical problem that has long plagued the aluminum material processing industry. The head warping deformation of the aluminum plate is the main cause of the rolling imprint defect on the surface of the aluminum plate. The warping is divided into head warping and head buckling, the upward bending is head warping, and the downward bending is head buckling. The cold rolling imprint has a relatively large impact on the plate quality, such as the thickness tolerance of the plate being out of tolerance, the uneven distribution of internal stress causing the flatness to be unqualified during sawing and processing deformation, and the inconsistent color difference of the polished wire drawing / oxidized coloring plate surface.

[0037] (III) Beneficial effects

[0038] The present application provides a process for reducing the cold rolling of aluminum plate roll marks, by systematically optimizing key parameters such as plate shape pre-adjustment, rolling line height setting, upper and lower roller diameter matching, cold rolling pass and processing rate control, and rolling lubrication process, effectively inhibiting the roll mark defects caused by head warping during cold rolling of aluminum plate, and significantly improving the surface quality and dimensional accuracy of finished plate. The specific technical effects are as follows:

[0039] 1. Significantly reduce the incidence of cold rolling marks: By implementing differentiated plate shape pre-straightening strategies for different thickness aluminum plates, the roll mark defect rate is reduced from the original 8.5% or more to 0.6% or less, especially in thick plate (≥20mm) rolling, the improvement effect is more obvious. Combined with segmented straightening process and temperature regulation, the flatness of the head of thick plate is controlled within ±10mm, significantly improving the stability of the initial stage of rolling.

[0040] 2. Inhibit head warping and improve bite stability: The rolling line height δ is reasonably set according to the thickness of the aluminum plate, and the lower roller diameter is slightly larger than the upper roller (1.0-1.2mm larger), forming a "micro wedge" entry zone that is beneficial to the stable bite of the head, avoiding the warping or buckling phenomenon caused by asymmetric stress on the upper and lower rollers.

[0041] 3. Optimize cold rolling deformation distribution and improve stress uniformity: Set reasonable cold rolling pass and processing rate range for different thickness intervals to avoid local stress concentration caused by excessive deformation in single pass. Multi-pass small reduction rolling is beneficial to the uniformization of metal flow, reducing residual internal stress, thereby reducing the warping and deformation risk in subsequent processing (such as sawing, tension leveling, heat treatment), and improving the final flatness of the plate.

[0042] 4. Improve surface quality and adaptability to subsequent processing: precisely control straightening force, speed and bending moment gradient, combined with gradient roll diameter design and hot-cold straightening composite process, to ensure full straightening of thick plates without damaging the surface. At the same time, use weakly acidic rolling oil (pH 4-4.5) with a specific formula, and spray it at a fixed point 150mm below the head of the plate, which effectively enhances the lubrication effect and cooling uniformity, prevents sticking and scratching, ensures surface smoothness, and meets the stringent requirements of color difference and consistency for high-end applications such as polishing, wire drawing, and oxidation coloring.

[0043] The process method of the present application is established through in-depth analysis of the causes of filter plate warping and based on actual production data and mechanical analysis, suitable for cold rolling production of various types of aluminum alloy plates in the thickness range of 6-220mm. Through multi-dimensional collaborative control means, the problem of roll marks caused by poor plate shape in the aluminum plate cold rolling process is fundamentally solved, not only improving the product pass rate and surface quality, but also enhancing the stability and economy of production, with significant technical advancement and industrial application value. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] In order to better explain the present application, the following specific embodiments are used to describe the present application in detail.

[0045] In the production process of aluminum and aluminum alloy medium-thick plate (thickness ≥ 6mm) by block method cold rolling (i.e. single sheet rolling, non-continuous rolling), although the generation of roll mark defects is directly related to the plate head warping, the deep reason thereof involves the complex coupling of multiple aspects such as material, process, equipment, lubrication and thermodynamics. The aluminum plate head is in a stressed free state, and the stress state thereof is the most complex, mainly in three-way stress distribution, and the stress distribution is most likely to be uneven, thereby causing the aluminum plate head to generate warping phenomenon such as warping head or buckling head (warping head for upward bending, buckling head for downward bending). In addition to the foregoing reasons, the inventors analyze the deep reason of roll mark generation from the mechanism level, which further includes (1) imbalance of friction coefficient caused by poor rolling lubrication, and the lubrication state directly affects the friction force distribution between the upper and lower rollers and the aluminum plate. If the oil supply of the upper and lower rollers is uneven, the nozzle is blocked or the rolling oil composition is unstable, the friction coefficient difference of the upper and lower interfaces will be caused. The asymmetric friction makes the metal flow speed of the upper and lower surfaces of the aluminum plate inconsistent, a shear stress gradient is generated, and the plate shape instability is induced. For example, when the upper roller is insufficiently lubricated, the upper surface friction is large, the metal flow is slow, and the buckling head is easily caused; on the contrary, the warping head is easily caused. This flow instability can cause local bulging or indentation, which is manifested as non-periodic roll marks. (2) Dynamic inertia effect caused by rolling speed change. In the biting, stable rolling and throwing stages, the rolling speed experiences acceleration, uniform speed and deceleration process. Especially in the low-speed biting stage, improper acceleration control will generate inertia torque. The plate head as a free end is extremely sensitive to acceleration. If the biting acceleration is too large or the acceleration gradient is not stable, a dynamic bending moment will be generated at the plate head, which will aggravate the warping trend. This transient impact may cause the plate head to instantaneously hit the edge of the roller or the supporting roller, causing local indentation or scratches, and forming the starting roll mark.

[0046] In order to eliminate or reduce the aluminum plate cold rolling roll mark, the technical scheme of the present application is as follows:

[0047] Step (1): First, the plate shape of the incoming aluminum plate is as follows:

[0048] The plate head of the 6-12mm thickness size is required to be upwardly warped by 0-30mm; the plate head of the 12-20mm thickness size is required to be downwardly warped by 0-30mm; and the plate head of the thickness of more than 20mm is required to be flat within ±10mm.

[0049] If the shape of the incoming aluminum plate can meet the above requirements, no pretreatment is needed, otherwise, the plate should be pre-adjusted and the special instrument should be used to detect the shape curvature to meet the above requirements. The pre-adjustment is to use the multi-roll straightening system for pre-straightening. Generally, the multi-roll straightening system is configured with 9-11 roll straightening machines, and the close-packed roller system is used for the plate with a thickness h < 20 mm, and the large-span roller system is used for the plate with a thickness h ≥ 20 mm; the work roll diameter is 200-350 mm, and the roll diameter is gradient designed, and the larger the plate thickness, the larger the diameter of the roll.

[0050] The multi-roll structure of the 9-11 roll straightening machines of the multi-roll straightening system can realize multiple repeated bending, so that each layer of the metal experiences sufficient elastic-plastic deformation, effectively releases residual stress, and compared with the few-roll straightening machine, can more thoroughly homogenize the internal stress and improve the plate shape consistency. The close-packed roller is mainly used for thin plate (h < 20 mm) to reduce the support span and prevent the thin plate from producing "bulging" or secondary warping during straightening due to insufficient stiffness. The large-span roller is mainly used for thick plate (h ≥ 20 mm) to consider the characteristics of high stiffness of thick plate and avoid surface indentation or tissue damage caused by excessive bending. Thick plate has high yield strength and large deformation resistance, and requires larger bending moment to effectively straighten. The large-diameter roller has higher bending stiffness and larger force arm, and can apply larger straightening force without being easily deformed, so the thick plate uses large-diameter roller and the thin plate uses small-diameter roller, which can effectively ensure the effective transmission of straightening force and avoid "slip" or "ineffective straightening".

[0051] Specifically, the pre-adjustment method for aluminum plates of different thicknesses is as follows:

[0052] The pre-adjustment method for the plate shape with a thickness of 6 mm ≤ thickness h < 12 mm is as follows:

[0053] The quadratic parabolic straightening curve y = 0.15x is established. 2 Wherein, x is the starting distance of the plate head, unit: m; first preheat the aluminum plate to 80-120℃ (temperature control accuracy ±5℃), control the third and fifth rollers to apply reverse bending moment, and the bending moment gradient is 15-20 kN·m / m.

[0054] Mechanical parameters: straightening force 300-500 kN, straightening speed 15-20 m / min.

[0055] Detection standard: use a laser range finder to measure at 500 mm from the plate head, and when the warping amount is 0-3.75 mm, it is qualified.

[0056] Thin and medium plates are prone to small radius warping in a free state, so a parabolic preset curvature is used, which is equivalent to pre-assigning the plate with a controllable "anti-warping" shape. When the rolling is bitten, this preset curvature can offset the natural warping tendency caused by the difference in upper and lower friction during rolling. According to y = 0.15x 2The straightening curve of the aluminum plate shows that the amount of warping increases with the square of the distance from the head of the plate (x = 0), forming a gently rising "upward warping" trend, which is suitable for the subsequent rolling entry conditions. The aluminum plate is preheated to 80-120°C, which can improve the plasticity of the material and reduce the yield strength, so that the straightening is easier and new residual stress is not easy to produce. Among them, the third and fifth rollers apply a reverse bending moment (15-20 kN·m / m) to realize "local reverse bending" and eliminate the original bending trend in the head area. By adjusting the warping amount measured at 500 mm to be within the range of 0-3.75 mm, a controllable upward warping entry shape can be established for thin medium plates to prevent excessive warping of the head during rolling, which can cause abnormal contact with the upper roller and produce indentation.

[0057] The pre-adjustment method for plates with a thickness of 12 mm≤h<20 mm is as follows:

[0058] The temperature difference between the core and the surface of the plate is ≤15°C under the hot air circulation heating at 50-80°C.

[0059] The preset down pressure of the first straightening roller is controlled to be 1.2-1.8 mm, and the pressure is gradually reduced at the tail of the plate for 200 mm, and the pressure decay rate is 2-3 MPa / m.

[0060] Mechanical parameters: straightening force 500-800 kN, straightening speed 10-15 m / min, straightening acceleration ≤0.3 m / s 2 .

[0061] Detection standard: online 3D profilometer monitoring, and the predetermined warping height is reached.

[0062] The temperature is moderate at 50-80°C, which softens the material and does not cause oxidation or changes in the structure, which is beneficial to straightening. The preset down pressure of the first straightening roller is 1.2-1.8 mm, which actively applies the initial pressure and forces the head of the plate to bend downward, forming a "buckling head" trend to resist the common "warping head" tendency during rolling. The pressure is gradually reduced at the tail of the plate for 200 mm, and the pressure decay rate is 2-3 MPa / m, which prevents uneven elastic rebound at the end of straightening due to sudden unloading, causing the tail to warp or wave. Low-speed straightening and low acceleration reduce the influence of dynamic inertia, ensuring that the straightening process is stable and controllable. This step establishes a controllable buckling head entry shape for medium plates, balances the deformation difference between the upper and lower surfaces during rolling, and suppresses the roll marks caused by warping the head.

[0063] The pre-adjustment method for plates with a thickness of 20 mm≤h is as follows:

[0064] Preheat to 200-250°C (eliminate 90% of the initial stress under hot state), coarse straightening at 800-1000 kN, and then cold straightening at room temperature using a double cross roller system at 1000-1200 kN, and the cross angle of the double cross roller system is 0.5-1.2°. In general, the greater the thickness of the aluminum plate, the greater the straightening force used.

[0065] Mechanical parameters: straightening speed v = 5-8 m / min. Preferably, a speed-force coupling control is used, with a control relationship of v = 8-0.03F, v in units of m / min, and F in units of kN.

[0066] Detection standard: online 3D profile monitoring, until the preset flatness is reached.

[0067] First, preheat to 200-250°C, significantly reduce the yield strength, facilitate the realization of full plastic deformation under large tonnage straightening force (800-1000 kN), release deep residual stress. The first stage is rough straightening, to remove macro bending at high temperature; the second stage is cold straightening, to realize fine adjustment of flatness at room temperature, avoiding high temperature springback error. Double cross roller system (cross angle 0.5-1.2°) mainly changes the transverse distribution of the roll gap by tilting the roll shaft, compensates for the common "middle wave" or "edge wave" of thick plates, and realizes the shape control in three-dimensional space. High straightening force (1000-1200 kN) + low speed (5-8 m / min) is used in cold straightening to match the high rigidity requirement of thick plates, to ensure effective deep straightening. This step realizes deep stress homogenization and high-precision flatness control of thick plates, fundamentally eliminating roll marks caused by poor initial plate shape.

[0068] The above pre-adjustment of plate shape of different thicknesses is a key pre-process to eliminate residual stress of incoming material, improve initial plate shape, and control warping tendency. If there are waves, side bends or warping in the incoming material, it will cause a sudden change in local contact pressure due to uneven stress when entering the cold rolling, forming a non-uniform deformation zone, which is prone to induce roll marks. This step actively applies controllable reverse stress through the straightening system to offset or reconstruct the original internal stress distribution, so that the plate is in a "low stress, high flatness" stable state before entering the rolling mill, avoiding instability-induced warping and roll marks in the initial stage of rolling.

[0069] Step (2): selecting an upper roller and a lower roller with a diameter difference for rolling, wherein the lower roller diameter is 1.0-1.5 mm larger than the upper roller diameter, preferably, the lower roller diameter = the upper roller diameter + (1.0-1.2) mm, further preferably, the lower roller diameter = the upper roller diameter + 1.0 mm. Wherein, the diameter difference between the upper and lower rollers of the cold rolling mill ensures that the lower roller speed is greater than the upper roller speed, so that the upward warping deformation height of the aluminum plate after passing through the roller is controlled within 0-300 mm. Wherein, the upper roller diameter can be 400-700 mm, and in general, the larger the plate thickness of the aluminum plate, the larger the diameter of the rolling roller used in cold rolling.

[0070] When the lower roller is slightly larger, the lower surface linear velocity is slightly higher than the upper surface, which will result in the lower surface metal flowing slightly faster, thus forming a slight "upward bending" trend at the head of the plate (i.e. preset "head warping"). This preset deformation can offset the actual "head warping" aggravation caused by greater friction of the upper roller during rolling, achieving dynamic balance. Preferably, the lower roller diameter = the upper roller diameter + 1.0 mm, further optimizing the difference between the lower roller and the upper roller diameter to avoid excessive difference causing new shear stress concentration or edge bulging.

[0071] This step can form a controllable difference between the upper and lower surface velocities and deformations, actively regulate the plate shape evolution path, suppress warping development, and reduce indentation caused by uneven contact between rollers.

[0072] Step (3): Set the height δ of the cold rolling line according to the thickness h of the incoming aluminum plate, and the corresponding relationship is shown in Table 1 to ensure that the aluminum plate is flat and not warped when it exits the roller.

[0073] Table 1: Corresponding relationship between cold rolling line height (δ) and aluminum plate thickness (h)

[0074]

[0075] wherein the rolling line height δ = the offset of the actual rolling center line relative to the theoretical center line (generally, the + value is the downward offset, and the - value is the upward offset). By adjusting the rolling center line position in sections, a "micro-wedge-shaped entry zone" that is beneficial to the stable biting of the plate head is constructed, avoiding the instability of warping caused by the sudden change of stress at the free end, thereby reducing the initial roller marks generated during the biting stage. Generally speaking, the larger the thickness of the aluminum plate, the higher the corresponding value selected within the interval.

[0076] Step (4): After selecting the cold rolling roller, cold rolling is performed. During cold rolling, the corresponding relationship between the thickness of the aluminum plate, the cold rolling pass, and the cold rolling reduction rate is shown in Table 2, which can prevent the generation of cold rolling marks. During rolling, 40°C rolling oil with a viscosity of 7.5-12.0 mm 2 / s is sprayed to the lower surface of the plate head at a distance of 12-20 cm from the plate head.

[0077] Table 2: Corresponding relationship between aluminum plate thickness, cold rolling pass, and single pass cold rolling reduction rate

[0078] Aluminum sheet thickness (mm) Cold rolling passes (passes) Single pass cold rolling reduction (%) 6 mm ≤ thickness h < 15 mm 1 2.2~3.2 15 mm ≤ thickness h < 25 mm 2 2.0~3.0 25 mm ≤ thickness h < 40 mm 3 2.0~2.7 40 mm ≤ thickness h < 60 mm 4 1.8~2.5 60 mm ≤ thickness h < 100 mm 6 1.5~2.2 100 mm ≤ thickness h < 220 mm 9 1.0~1.5

[0079] Wherein, thick plate single large reduction easily causes surface and core deformation uncoordinated, stress gradient steep increase, local yield instability. And multi-pass small reduction can realize deformation energy dispersion, stress partial release after each pass, more uniform metal flow, reduce cumulative residual stress and other effects. Wherein, with the greater the thickness of the aluminum plate, the more the cold rolling passes, the smaller the single pass deformation of the thicker plate, to control the stress increment in each pass within a safe range, prevent stress superposition exceeding the yield limit, thereby inhibit warping and bulging. For thick plate, use progressive, low stress accumulation rolling process, avoid local instability and roll imprint caused by severe deformation.

[0080] In addition, the rolling speed, including the bite speed, rolling acceleration, maximum rolling speed, etc. also affect the formation of cold rolling roll imprint. Therefore, during the rolling process, the bite speed, rolling acceleration, maximum rolling speed of the aluminum plate meet the following conditions:

[0081] ① The maximum rolling speed = 18-22 m / min, preferably 20 m ± 0.5 m / min. At this maximum rolling speed, the production efficiency and stability can be balanced. Too high is easy to cause vibration; too low will prolong the rolling time and increase the risk of uneven temperature rise.

[0082] ② The bite speed is 1 / 4 of the maximum rolling speed. Lower bite reduces impact and prevents the head of the plate from bending sharply or impacting the roll due to inertia.

[0083] ③ The rolling acceleration is to ensure that the maximum rolling speed is reached in 6.5-7.5 seconds. The acceleration is about 0.2-0.3 m / s 2 , to avoid excessive dynamic bending moment causing instantaneous warping of the head. By smooth acceleration transition, reduce the impact of dynamic load on the shape of the plate, prevent "start roll imprint".

[0084] Because the viscosity of the rolling oil for cold rolling and the position of the oil spray on the plate surface are different, the metal flow direction during deformation of the aluminum plate during cold rolling can be changed, thereby changing the warping direction of the aluminum plate when it exits the roll. Therefore, during the rolling process, the aluminum plate is sprayed with rolling oil, the oil spray position is the lower surface of the plate head 150 mm away from the end of the plate head, and the composition of the rolling oil is: kerosene 69.6-70.4%, base oil 23.3-23.7%, additives 6-6.4%, acid agent 0.2-0.4%, pH 4-4.5. Preferably, the composition of the rolling oil is: kerosene 70%, base oil 23.5%, additives 6.2%, acid agent 0.3%, pH 4-4.5.

[0085] Since the head of the plate is a free end, it is most prone to dry friction or local adhesion with the lower roller. Therefore, pre-lubrication on the lower surface can reduce the friction coefficient of the lower roller, reduce the flow resistance of the lower surface, help to form a slight "head-up" trend, and the roller diameter difference in step (2) cooperates. When spraying rolling oil, avoid spraying on the upper surface to prevent the upper surface from being too lubricated, which can cause "head buckling". By spraying rolling oil at a fixed position, directional lubrication controls the asymmetry of friction and actively guides the evolution direction of the plate shape.

[0086] The 40℃ viscosity of the rolling oil is 7.5-12.0mm 2 / s, which is mainly composed of kerosene as the main solvent (diluent), has moderate volatility (slow evaporation), and good cleanliness. The base oil is a deeply refined mineral lubricating oil or a synthetic hydrocarbon oil (such as poly-alpha olefin), and the kinematic viscosity (40℃) is 20-35mm 2 / s, which can provide a basic lubricating film. The additives are preferably extreme pressure additives (such as phosphate ester), antioxidants, and rust inhibitors to improve boundary lubrication performance. The acid agent mainly adjusts the pH, and a slightly acidic environment can slightly etch the aluminum plate surface oxide film to improve the wettability and adsorption capacity of the lubricant, enhance the adhesion of the oil film, and prevent the oil film from breaking down to cause local dry friction. The pH cannot be too low to avoid causing corrosion of the aluminum plate. By spraying rolling oil, a stable and high-strength lubricating film is formed at a specific position on the aluminum plate, reducing friction fluctuations, preventing aluminum sticking, scratching, and local indentation (i.e. chemical roller marks) caused by lubrication failure.

[0087] In the above scheme, step (1) regulates or pre-adjusts the plate shape of the incoming aluminum plate, eliminates initial stress (eliminates source defects), and controls warping. This process involves multi-stage straightening, thermal-mechanical coupling, and online detection, providing excellent sources for subsequent cold rolling; step (2) selects upper and lower rollers with a diameter difference, actively controls the flow rate difference between the upper and lower rollers, and uses the speed difference to induce controllable warping, which cooperates with the oil spraying position to adjust the friction; step (3) determines the rolling line δ to build a stable bite condition, which cooperates with step (2) to optimize the inlet shape to build an ideal bite and deformation path; step (4) sets the reduction passes and single-pass cold rolling reduction rate according to the thickness of the aluminum plate, disperses the deformation stress for thick plates, and reduces the single-pass stress peak to prevent cumulative instability. During cold rolling, the bite speed is controlled to suppress dynamic impact, and slow acceleration and low bite speed are used to protect the stability of the aluminum plate head. During rolling, the rolling oil is sprayed at a fixed position to control the symmetry of friction, and the lower surface is preferentially lubricated to form a positive feedback with the diameter difference.

[0088] The present application solves the problem of aluminum plate cold rolling imprint by pre-control, guidance, balancing, protection and other technical routes. The parameters set in the above steps are not set independently, but are optimized based on the coupling simulation and measured data of stress field, velocity field and lubrication field, have scientific basis and engineering practicability, can significantly reduce the occurrence rate of roll imprint, and improve the surface quality and yield of high-end aluminum plate.

[0133] Comparative Example 1

[0134] In this example, the incoming material is the same as Example 1. The rolling line height delta is set to be lowered by 0.8 mm. The plate shape is not pre-adjusted according to the thermal-mechanical coupled straightening, and the straightening method is: using a common 5-roll straightening machine for cold straightening, without heating and bending moment control, the straightening force is set to 200 kN, and the straightening speed is 18 m / min.

[0136] Comparative Example 2

[0137] In this example, the incoming material is the same as Example 5. But the plate shape pre-adjustment method does not have high-temperature rough straightening, and the pre-adjustment method is: only using a common 9-roll straightening machine for straightening at room temperature. There is no preheating before straightening, and the straightening is first performed at room temperature with 1000 kN, without double cross roller system cold straightening. After pre-straightening, the in-line 3D profile instrument detects that the flatness of the plate head is ± 25 mm. During cold rolling, single-pass large reduction rate rolling is used, the single-pass processing rate is 10.8%, the biting speed is 5 m / min, and the maximum speed is 20 m / min.

[0138] The remaining conditions refer to Example 5
