This paper presents an optimization approach to deal with the problem of minimizing the hot rolling time of a steel slab. Unlike traditional approaches, this work also considers the chemical composition of the steel slab as a parameter, allowing the automatic setup for different steels of the hot rolling mill. To validate the approach discussed here, a six-stand rolling mill is modeled as an op...

Numerical simulation of the deformation process during flat rolling of multifilament HTS tapes has been investigated using a commercial FEM program, ELFEN. The numerical models were built up in 2D and 3D using a DruckerPragerKap model for the powder. Three different roll diameters (024 mm, 0 8 5 mm and 0126 mm) have been investigated. It is found that it is possible to perform numerical simulat...

ISSN 2277 – 5056 | © 2012 Bonfring Abstract--A FEM simulation study was carried out to investigate the influence of the rolling parameters on the rolling process. Using commercial FEM software, ABAQUS, a number of cases were studied. In this paper, a twodimensional Elastic-plastic finite element model to simulate the cold rolling of thick strip with different roll angular velocity and roll diam...

Chatter has been recognized as major restriction for the increase in productivity of cold rolling processes, limiting the rolling speed for thin steel strips. It is shown that chatter has close relation with rolling conditions. So the main aim of this paper is to attain the optimum set points of rolling to achieve maximum rolling speed, preventing chatter to occur. Two combination methods were ...

In order to study the on-line fault monitoring and diagnosing for the rolling bearing this paper proposes a resonant demodulation measurement with an adaptive frequency selection based on LabVIEW. The wavelet packet function is used to decompose and reconstruct the measured vibration signal to extract the fault information accurately under the noise background. The kurtosis value of the signal ...
