Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to strip steel leveling technology in the metallurgical industry, and more specifically, to a method for controlling the lateral uniformity of roughness distribution in a leveling unit. Background Technology

[0002] Steel strip is widely used in construction, machinery, automotive, and electronics industries. With the advancement of mechanized production, the demand for wide, high-strength, and high-precision steel is constantly increasing, and steel strip has emerged as a product to meet these needs. With the development of materials science, stainless steel strip has also been widely used in food processing and chemical industries. Aluminum cans, milk powder cans, and chemical cans are generally made of tinplate. For tinplate, the roughness of the steel strip directly affects its surface finish and quality. Higher roughness may lead to surface defects and affect its fatigue performance, thereby reducing the fatigue life of the steel strip and ultimately affecting the appearance and quality of the product. Secondly, the roughness of the steel strip directly affects the adhesion of its surface coating. Excessive roughness may weaken the adhesion between the coating and the steel strip surface, thus reducing the performance and durability of the coating. Leveling, as the final and important process before steel strip export, has a significant impact on the control of steel strip roughness. The surface roughness of the strip after passing through the leveling unit is mainly controlled by adjusting the surface roughness of the leveling machine's work rolls. During the rolling process, the surface features of the work rolls are imprinted onto the strip surface, forming the strip roughness.

[0003] To control the surface roughness of strip steel, numerous methods have been proposed in the industry. For the roughness control of finished strip steel from a double-stand leveling mill, a method is proposed to adjust the strip roughness by controlling the rolling pressure. The influence of friction between the strip steel and the work rolls on roughness is analyzed based on rolling process parameters, and the strip roughness is ultimately optimized by setting the initial roll roughness. Considering the influence of multiple factors on strip roughness, such as roll roughness, rolling force per unit width, rolling speed, and elongation, a finishing process optimization technique to improve the surface morphology of galvanized automotive steel sheets is proposed. Other methods to improve the surface finish of strip steel include alkaline washing and brushing. However, no solution has been proposed for the uneven lateral distribution of strip roughness. Therefore, based on the process characteristics of the leveling mill and the strip roughness calculation model, a method for controlling the uniformity of the lateral roughness distribution in the leveling mill is proposed.
