A fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is designed to maintain constant tension for tandem rolling mills. Envisioning fuzzy inference system as neural network and introducing tutor, backward propagation algorithm is used as self-organization technique for FLC to approach the best parameters under supervision. Simulation results exhibit the generalization and adaptivity of neuro-fuzzy controller in offl...

Deformation behaviour of rolled AZ31 sheets that were subjected to the accumulative roll bonding was investigated. Substantially refined microstructure of samples was achieved after the first and second pass through the rolling mill. Sheets texture was investigated using an X-ray diffractometer. Samples for tensile tests were cut either parallel or perpendicular to the rolling direction. Tensil...

Laboratory tests are crucial in education and training of engineers. Experimental equipment and process simulators are extremely expensive. It is not possible and justified economically to build such laboratories, for educational purposes, in large number of schools. On the other hand, education and training based on video films, etc., is not adequate and personal contact of students with a pro...

Temperature is the main process variable needed for every operation in hot rolling process for all value addition activity and can be considered as main variable also to control pollution.. It is a tool for the steel hot rolling plant to improve profitability, environment and productivity by controlling the process energy balance by its sequences optimization. In the steel rolling plant the imp...

in this study, the effect of cold rolling process on the microstructure and texture evolution in 1wt. % si non-orientedelectrical steel was investigated. for this purpose, all samples were processed through single-stage hot rolling at1100 ° c and two-stage cold rolling (cross rolling and unidirectional rolling) with intermediate annealing at 650 °cfor 35 seconds. finally, all of them were fully...
