Dynamic Model of the Hot Strip Rolling Mill Vibration Resulting from Entry Thickness Deviation and Its Dynamic Characteristics

Abstract

The vibration demolding of the crystallizer leads to slab thickness deviation in continuous casting processes. Therefore, in this paper, the dynamic model of the hot strip rolling mill vibration resulting from entry thickness deviation is proposed and its dynamic characteristics are studied. First, the dynamic model of vertical vibration in the hot strip rolling mill is established based on Sims’ rolling force model. Then, the model validity is certified by comparing the simulation with field test data from a 1580 hot strip rolling mill. Finally, we investigate the influence of model parameters on the dynamic characteristics of hot strip rolling mill vibration resulting from entry thickness deviation. The result indicates that hot strip rolling mill vibration resulting from entry thickness deviation can be reduced by increasing the area of the hydraulic cylinder piston side and the entry thickness as well as by decreasing the deformation resistance, rolling speed, and equivalent stiffness.
