[0002] The head mark is caused by the fact that the head of the cold-rolled strip steel has a certain thickness. Under the action of the coiling tension, stress concentration occurs at the head position, causing a horizontal line to be pressed out on the surface of the thick-gauge strip steel, resulting in a "head mark" defect, which affects the surface quality.

[0003] The traditional solution has limitations, and the existing technology relies on a positioning sleeve. The head positioning function is used at the outlet coiler to reduce the length of the head mark. The higher the positioning accuracy, the more obvious the improvement effect.

The actual position of the core shaft expansion and contraction is detected by a position encoder, but the removal effect of the head mark is not good in actual application. Therefore, it is necessary to design a finishing unit working method for optimizing unit configuration and process control to reduce head marks, which utilizes the configuration of the finishing unit equipment and specific process tension settings to solve the problem of head mark defects of the strip steel caused by the coiler of the existing continuous annealing and galvanizing main unit.
