冷軋薄帶時(shí),軋制參數(shù)對軋輥邊緣接觸的影響
在一些冷軋制造薄帶的過程中,我們已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)了工作輥邊部接觸并且使薄帶變形的問題。在工作輥邊緣接觸的問題上,形成了一個(gè)新的在滾動(dòng)中變形的特性,這一特性已得到分析。在本文中,作者重點(diǎn)研究軋制參數(shù)對特定的力如軋制力,中間力,邊緣接觸力和薄帶鋼冷軋工作輥邊緣接觸時(shí)的影響。目前已研究出一個(gè)影響函數(shù)法來模擬此特殊軋制過程?;跀?shù)值模擬,得到了軋制參數(shù)對力學(xué)和變形影響的冷軋薄帶。數(shù)字模擬試驗(yàn),驗(yàn)證了這個(gè)已較為成熟的方法的有效性。
冷軋薄帶被廣泛的應(yīng)用在電子和儀器行業(yè)當(dāng)中。隨著科學(xué)和技術(shù)的迅速發(fā)展,薄帶鋼已經(jīng)越來越廣泛的應(yīng)用于工業(yè)當(dāng)中。一般來說,這種薄帶是由一個(gè)冷連軋機(jī)組的一個(gè)非圓形的工作輥所制成。
Sutcliffe等人為薄帶的軋制研究了一種新的方法進(jìn)行負(fù)載和帶鋼軋機(jī)斷面軋薄的測量。在薄帶鋼軋制中,一個(gè)比較估計(jì)軋輥轉(zhuǎn)矩和一個(gè)修正橫向擴(kuò)散的方法也已經(jīng)被研究出來。Jiang等人計(jì)算薄帶的彈性變形,和在冷軋薄帶中的薄帶的形狀、輪廓和平整度。軋輥的彈性變形導(dǎo)致輪廓、外形和平整度的問題。鋼鐵制造商一直關(guān)心如何改進(jìn)它的形狀,平整度和尺寸精度這一問題。研究員已經(jīng)從新的制造工廠中發(fā)現(xiàn)對這些問題的解決辦法通過引入軋輥連續(xù)變型(CVC)和軋輥交叉(PC)的軋機(jī)。有了這些軋制程序,能夠使相對較厚的薄帶被軋制的時(shí)候,工作輥彼此不接觸。
在一些冷軋過程中,例如當(dāng)薄帶被軋制的時(shí)候,工作輥的端部接觸而且變形(見圖1)。在冷軋薄帶的分析中,我們不得不考慮工作輥端部接觸時(shí)可能導(dǎo)致毀滅性結(jié)構(gòu)的問題。這種情況,模擬變形模型的技巧不同于傳統(tǒng)的薄帶冷軋程序。當(dāng)工作輥接觸邊緣地帶之外時(shí),不僅改變了壓力分布,而且對變形模型的工作輥、摩擦界面都將帶來磨損。工作輥接觸邊緣地帶研究如何確定軋制力、中間力量、邊緣接觸力和剖面的地帶,以改善其質(zhì)量。作者這篇文章的重點(diǎn)在于冷軋過程中旋轉(zhuǎn)參數(shù)對特定的力量和軋件的描繪效果的研究。
當(dāng)軋件超出軋輥接觸邊緣時(shí),Edwards和Spooner根據(jù)一個(gè)分析方法也簡短地描述了冷軋薄帶毀壞兼容性的關(guān)系。但是到目前為止詳細(xì)的結(jié)果還沒有被報(bào)告出來?;跀?shù)字的模擬、旋轉(zhuǎn)參數(shù)和改變,冷軋過程中邊緣的損壞的效果得以演示。數(shù)字的模擬測試已經(jīng)證明此研究的可行性。

Effect of rolling parameters on cold rolling of thin strip during work rolls edge contact
In some cold rolling mills, a problem has been found that the sides of work rolls touch and deform when thin strip is rolled. The problem of work roll contact at the edges, which forms a new deformation feature in rolling, is analyzed. In this paper, the authors focus on the research of the effects of rolling parameters on specific force such as rolling force, intermediate force, edge contact force and the profile of thin strip in cold rolling when the work roll edges contact. An influence function method is developed to simulate this special rolling process. Based on numerical simulation, the effects of the rolling parameters on the mechanics and deformation of the cold rolled thin strip are obtained. Numerical simulation tests have verified the validity of this developed method.
A cold rolled thin strip is widely used in the electronic and instrument industries. With the rapid development of science and technology, thin strip has been finding more and more applications in industry. In general, this kind of strip is produced by a tandem cold rolling mill where the work rolls are flattened to a non-circular deformed shape.
At et al. developed a robust model for rolling of thin strip and foil and carried out the experimental measurements of load and strip profile during thin strip rolling. In thin strip rolling, a comparison of methods to estimate the roll torque and a modified method for lateral spread has also been conducted. et al. calculated the elastic deformation of strip, and the shape, profile and flatness of strip in cold rolling of thin strip. Elastic deformation of the rolls brings about problems of profile, shape and flatness. The problem on how to improve its shape and flatness, and the dimensional accuracy has always been of major interest to the steel manufacturers. Researchers have found solutions to these problems by introducing new types of mills, such as continuous variable crown (CVC) and pair cross (PC) mills equipped with roll shifting roll crossing and work roll bending. These are rolling processes where the work rolls do not contact each other when relatively thick strip is rolled.
In some cold rolling mills, for example, it has often been found that the edges of work rolls touch and deform (see Fig. 1) when the thin strip is rolled. The problem of work roll contact at the edges should be considered in an analysis of the cold rolling of thin strip, which forms a new deformation feature. In this case, the models of deformation and mechanics are different from the traditional cold rolling processes of strip. Not only the distribution of the roll pressure will change when the work rolls contact beyond the edges of the strip, but also the deformation model of work rolls, friction at the interface of the rolls and the strip and work roll wear. How to determine the rolling force, intermediate force, edge contact force and profile of the strip, to improve its quality when the work rolls contact beyond the edges of the strip is the main feature of this study. The authors focus on the research of the effect of rolling parameters on specific force and profile of thin strip in cold rolling, which is a highlight of this paper.
Edwards and Spooner also described briefly deformation compatibility relationship for the cold rolling of the thin strip when the work rolls contact beyond the edges of strip by an analysis method. But up to now detailed results have not been reported. In this study, an influence function method has been developed to simulate this special rolling process. Based on the numerical simulation, the effect of the rolling parameters on the mechanics and deformation of the cold rolling of thin strip are obtained. Numerical simulation tests have verified the validity of this developed method.
The calculation of the deformed rolls is based on the displacement compatibility relationships between the work roll and backup roll, work roll and thin strip, and the work rolls. Due to symmetry of the left and right sides of the rolls at the central line of the roll barrels, one-half of the roll barrels is selected as a research objective, and the equal divided zone is shown in Fig. 2. The rolling pressure and the pressure between the work roll and backup roll are uniform in zone. The deformations of the rolls and the strip are described in Fig. 2.
The deformed work roll profile is obtained by calculating the roll deflections due to bending, shear and effect of Poisson’s ratio, bending moment, interference between the work roll and the backup roll, and work roll flattening, which are described in the following paragraphs.
Beam theory for the bending and shear components has been widely employed to calculate the roll deflections. A typical roll deflection model under the effect of point load is shown in Fig. 3.
The roll deflection of the beam under the effect of bending at a position x can be described as follows:
Where E is the Young’s modulus, I the second moment of areaand the point loads
According to O’Connor , the deflection of the neutral axis for short stubby beams due to shear is given by
Where is the cross-sectional area and G the shear modulus of the beam?
If there is a bending moment, the deflection of the neutral axis can be illustrated in Fig. 4 and expressed as follows:
Where is the Poisson’s ratio, M the bending moment, and R(x) the radius of the roll at x position.
The deflection of the roll neutral axis due to the effect of Poisson’s ratio on the movement of the surfaces is
Given by
Where is the work roll radius?
Based on the assumption of two infinitely long elastic cylinders in contact, the interference under inter-roll pressure can be described as follows
Where is the interference between the work roll and backup roll; subscripts and refer to the work roll and backup roll, respectively. And are determined
By the following equation:
Where is the Poisson’s ratio? Based on the contours of the rolls, the interference between the work roll and backup roll can be calculated as follows
Where is the total roll interference at the strip , the total backup roll-axis deflection, and CB(x) the total backup roll crown including ground crown, thermal crown and roll wear. The total work roll-axis deflection, and CW(x) the total work roll crown including ground crown, thermal crown and roll wear.
Work roll flattening at the contact area of work roll and strip can be described as follows
Where B is the strip width, and is given by
Where p(x) is the rolling pressure, and b1 and b2 are constants determined by experiments. For mild steel (0.1–0.25% C), b1 and b2 are estimated as 32.92 and 0.86 mm/, respectively. When rolling tinplate, the strip can be very thin and the deflection of work rolls can be sufficient to result in work roll contact beyond the edges of the strip. Nowadays the roll bending systems are employed to separate work rolls from touching each other beyond the edges of the strip. The interference between work rolls can then be calculated as follows:
Where is the width of work roll barrel, the exit strip thickness at the strip ?
Given in Fig. 5, the left and right hand sides beyond the edges of the strip being rolled are named roll edge contact region. p__(x) and p_(x) are contact pressures between the work rolls at the left and right hand contact regions, respectively.
Given below are values of the important parameters used in the simulation for cold rolling:
? Diameter of the work roll: 400 mm;
? Diameter of the backup roll: 1200 mm;
? Length of the work roll barrel: 1600 mm;
? Length of the backup roll barrel: 1600 mm;
? Initial crown of the work roll: 0.0 mm;
? Initial crown of the backup roll: 0.0 mm;
? Center distance between housing screw: 2700 mm;
? Center distance between bending cylinder: 2700 mm;
? Young’s modulus of the work roll: 220 000 N/mm2;
? Young’s modulus of the backup roll: 22 000 N/mm2;
? Poisson’s ratio of the work roll: 0.3;
? Poisson’s ratio of the backup roll: 0.3;
? Slab thickness: 2.02 mm;
? Entry thickness of strip: 0.45, 0.40, 0.35 or 0.32 mm;
? Exit thickness of strip: 0.3 mm;
? Width of strip: 1000 mm;
? Specific front tension: 165 N/mm2;
? Specific back tension: 160 N/mm2;
? Rolling speed: 1000 m/min;
? Friction coefficient: 0.017;
? Initial crown of strip at entry: 0.0 mm;
? Defining point of strip crown from edge: 25 mm;
? Work roll bending force: 0, 50, 100 or 150 /chock.
Rolling force is calculated by using Bland–Ford–Hill model
where B is the width of strip before rolling, κ the tension factor, kp the deformation resistance which can be described by the following equation:
where α is a constant, ˙ε the stain rate, subscript s indicates static and
where is the static deformation resistance, which is determined under a constant stain rate 10?3 s?1, k0 a constant, in this simulation k0 = 740MPa, m and n are constants, m = 0.01 and n = 0.23, εm is average integral reduction which can be described as
Where H1 is slab thickness and
where β is a constant (0.75). R_ is a flatten radius of work roll which can be deduced by Hitchcock model:
Where is the width of strip after rolling, H, h the entry and exit thickness of strip, respectively, R the radius of the work roll, CH the Hitchcock coefficient [9], and F the rolling force. DP can be described as
(17)
where ε is the reduction and μ the friction coefficient.
Deflections of the work roll and backup roll are calculated by using simple beam theory for bending and shear.
Based on the influence function method, a simulation program was developed and performed on a PC. For different entry thickness of strip before rolling, bending force and the status of the work roll with or without edge contact, the rolling force, intermediate force, edge contact force and strip profile are obtained.
The slab thickness is 2.02mm, exit thickness of strip is 0.30mm and bending force is zero. The effect of entry thickness of strip Hen on specific force is shown in Fig. 6. It can be seen that the rolling force increases when the entry thickness of strip increases. Because the reduction increases as the entry thickness of strip increases. It is also seen that the intermediate force increases when the entry thickness of strip increases, and it has an increasing trend at the side of work roll barrel due to the edge contact. When the entry thickness is 0.32 mm, the edge contact force is zero; this means that there is no edge contact. The edge contact force increases with the entry thickness of strip (reduction). The edge contact of work rolls becomes more significant when the entry thickness of strip increases, which has a significant influence on the intermediate force. Fig. 7 shows the distribution of the exit thickness of strip for different entry thickness of strip Hen. It can be seen that the crown of exit strip increases when the entry thickness of strip increases (also see Table 1). Therefore, when the bending force is zero, the profile of the rolled strip becomes poor with the increasing of entry thickness even if the work rolls contact beyond the side of strip.
Because of the edge contact of the work rolls, the edge contact force increases and the intermediate force beyond the side of strip also increases. Therefore, the rolling force reduces. The effect of edge contact on the profile of strip is shown in Fig. 9. It is found that the crown of exit strip reduces significantly when the edges of work rolls contact each other (see Table 2). So the edge contact of work rolls can improve the profile of strip if there is no bending roll systems applied in a strip rolling mill
.
The slab thickness is 2.02 mm, entry thickness 0.40 mm, exit thickness 0.30mm and bending force is zero. The effect of edge contact on specific force is shown in Fig. 8. It can be seen that the rolling force near the side of strip reduces when the edge contact.
The slab thickness is 2.02 mm, entry thickness 0.40 mm, exit thickness 0.30 mm. The effect of bending force on specific force is shown in Fig. 10. It can be seen that the rolling force near the side of strip reduces when the bending force increases. However, the intermediate force within the width of strip decreases and then increases near the side of the work roll barrel when the bending force increases. Because of the effect of edge contact, the intermediate force near the edge of the work roll barrel increases a little. When the bending force increases, the increase of the intermediate force at the edge of the work roll barrel becomes more significant.
It is also seen that the edge contact force reduces when the bending force increases. This result shows that the edge contact can be negligible when the bending force is 150 /chock. The profile of strip becomes relative uniform when the bending force increases (see Fig. 11). Therefore, it is useful to reduce the edge contact force and improve the shape and profile of strip by introducing the bending force in the cold rolling of thin strip.
A model for the mechanics and profile of thin strip in cold rolling when the work rolls touch and deform beyond the side of strip was developed in this study. The results show that the specific force such as rolling force, intermediate force and the profile of the rolled strip for this special rolling is significantly different with the traditional strip cold rolling process. When the entry thickness of strip increases, the edge contact force increases, and the edge contact of work rolls becomes more significant, which has a significant effect on the intermediate force, and the shape of exit strip becomes poor. The crown of exit strip reduces significantly when the edge of work rolls contact if there is no bending force. So the edge contact can improve the profile of strip if there is no bending roll systems applied in a strip rolling mill. The profile of strip becomes relatively uniform when the bending force increases. Therefore, it is useful to decrease the edge contact force and improve the shape and profile of strip by introducing the bending force in the cold rolling of thin strip.
