Research on Online Model of Vertical Rolling Force in Hot Strip Roughing Trains

Abstract

For low prediction precision of online model for vertical rolling force in roughing trains of hot strip mill, the process of hot strip roughing trains was simulated by the FEM simulation software DEFORM. The cause of low prediction precision of rolling force during vertical rolling was analyzed. Then the new method for calculating deformation degree when edge rolling was presented by analysis of the FEM simulated results. The formula of external stress status modulus, which is fit for the vertical rolling force calculation, was obtained by analytic regression. Furthermore, a new formula about rolling force calculation was gained. It was approved that the prediction precision was obviously enhanced compared with the practical data for vertical rolling force.
