Neural Network Control for Rolling Mills

Worldwide, steel and aluminum production and manufacturing is still one of the major basic industries with a huge amount of material and energy consumption. Hence, optimization of the various process control schemes which are involved can lead to signiicant savings. Artiicial Neural Networks are a new information processing technique which provides a novel approach to process control problems a...

Research on Crown & Flatness Allocation Strategy of Hot Rolling Mills

In order to present the reasonable crown of hot rolling mills, the bend force and shift position should be pre-computed in a reasonable manner, while maintaining a good profile. How to search the optimal crown trajectory in ratio crown range is the key problem. Crown and flatness allocation strategy is researched based on dynamic programming method which has been improved and optimized by the a...

Fuzzy Tension Control Scheme for Roughing and Intermediate Rolling Mills

Control of hot metal rolling process plays an important role in assuring high product quality and safe process operation. Although there have been many looper control technologies recently developed for finishing rolling processes, looperless interstand tension control of roughing and intermediate rolling mills remains a hard-to-solve problem. This paper proposes a current comparison based inte...

Bayes for Rolling Mills: from Parameter Estimation to Decision Support

The paper shares experience gained in application of dynamic Bayesian approach to control problems in the field of metal rolling. The contribution introduces basic notions of theory applied and provides the algorithmic as well as application-oriented solutions developed. Specifically, the consistent use of the approach resulted in an advanced decision support system for operators of a reversing...
