    Abstract: 1,127,926. Automatic control of rolling. DAVY & UNITED ENG. CO. Ltd. Dec. 15, 1965 [Dec. 22, 1964], No. 52116/64. Heading G3R. [Also in Division B3] In a rolling mill, parts of the mill other than the rolls are pre-stressed to an extent that is automatically controlled by a signal derived from independent measurements of the pre-stressing load and the total of the pre-stressing load and the rolling load, so that the roll gap is maintained constant. In Fig. 1, mill rolls 20 are journalled in chocks 17, 18 located in recesses in further chocks 14, 15 carrying back-up rolls 16. Chocks 14, 15 are located in end housings 12 and the roll gap is adjustable by screws 22. The mill stand is pre-stressed by hydraulic actuators 25 which force chocks 14,15 apart and are under the control of a valve 27. When material is being rolled, an electrical signal dependent on the total force is derived from load cells 23 associated with screws 22 and another signal dependent on the pre-stressing force is derived from a pressure transducer 29 associated with the hydraulic supply to actuators 25. The difference between these two signals, which represents the rolling force, is obtained by a circuit 31. A proportion of this rolling force signal is selected by a potentiometer 32 and added to the total force signal by a circuit 30 to produce a signal representative of the enlargement of the roll gap caused by the forces involved. This calculated gap enlargement signal is compared with a desired enlargement signal obtained by subtracting, in a circuit 41, a signal from a transducer 40, representing screw-down setting, from an adjustable reference signal produced by a unit 35. Any difference resulting from the comparison produces an output from a circuit 33 which is applied to control valve 27 so that gap enlargement is restored to the desired value. Signals from a gauge 38 detecting errors in thickness of the rolled material are integrated at 37 and modify the output of unit 35 to correct long term changes in thickness. Camber of the rolls may be automatically controlled by the signal representing rolling force to maintain a desired shape of cross-section. Alternative arrangements for pre-stressing the mill and for calculating the gap enlargement are referred to.

    Abstract: A slab manufacturing method in which casting drum housing screw-down system deformation characteristics which have been acquired prior to the start of slab casting and which indicate deformation characteristics of a housing configured to support a casting drum and deformation characteristics of a screw-down system configured to screw down the casting drum is used to calculate an estimated plate thickness at both end portions of a slab in a width direction thereof from Expression 1 ((estimated plate thickness on entry side of rolling mill)=(screw-down position of casting cylinder)+(elastic deformation of casting drum)+(casting drum housing screw-down system deformation)+(drum profile of casting drum)−(elastic deformation of casting drum at time of screw-down position zero-point adjustment)), an entry-side wedge ratio and an exit-side wedge ratio are calculated on the basis of the estimated plate thickness calculated from Expression 1.

    Abstract: A roll stand of a rolling mill is supplied with a metal strip by an upstream supply device at an in-feed speed (v), with said metal strip being rolled in the roll stand. A measuring device between the supply device and the roll stand detects a respective thickness value (d) of the metal strip for consecutive sections of the metal strip and supplies said value to a control device of the rolling mill. The control device determines final thickness deviations based on the preliminary thickness deviations. The control device determines a respective control value (A2, A3) for the roll stand and/or the supply device for the sections of the metal strip based on the final thickness deviation of the respective section of the metal strip and the final thickness deviations of multiple preceding and/or subsequent sections of the metal strip.

    Abstract: Angles of an upper-side pair of an upper work roll 110A and an upper backup roll 120A, and a lower-side pair of a lower work roll 110B and a lower backup roll 120B are adjusted in a state where the upper-side pair is kept parallel and in a state where the lower-side pair is kept parallel. Thereafter, work-roll pressing apparatuses 130A and 130B, work-roll position control apparatuses 140A and 140B, backup-roll pressing apparatuses 150A and 150B, and backup-roll position control apparatuses 160A and 160B are controlled such that the angles of the upper work roll 110A and the lower work roll 110B are adjusted in a state where the angles of the upper backup roll 120A and the lower backup roll 120B are maintained.

    Abstract: A process inferentially determines hydrodynamic bearing flotation in a metal rolling operation for a metal roller bearing. The process receives from a mill stand processing the metal roll a rolling load of the metal roll, a gap between a pair of rollers pressing the metal roll, and a speed of the metal roll through the pair of rollers. The process further receives from the mill stand a gauge of the metal roll after the metal roll has passed through the pair of rollers. The process determines the hydrodynamic bearing flotation using the rolling load of the metal roll, the gap between a pair of rollers pressing the metal roll, the speed of the metal roll through the pair of rollers, and the gauge of the metal roll after the metal roll has passed through the pair of rollers. The process then adjusts the gap between the pair of rollers based on the determined hydrodynamic bearing flotation.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing hot rolled strip steel, especially the producing method of hot rolled strip steel with multiple target thicknesses in the longitudinal direction. It is a method to produce the strip steel with different target thicknesses in the longitudinal direction by using a hot continuous rolling mill. In this method, the first equal-thickness section of the strip steel is controlled with the conventional thickness control strategy, while other equal-thickness sections and the transition section between equal-thickness sections are controlled with the variable-thickness control strategy. Under the variable-thickness control strategy, the length of the first section of strip steel, the variation of thickness target value, the rolling stability and the spacing between stands are combined to determine the stand participating in the variable-thickness control, and calculate the roller gap value, as well as the time and speed of the variation of roller gap, thus achieving the producing control of strip steel with different target thicknesses in the longitudinal direction. The present invention utilizes the length of the first equal-thickness section and the variation of different target thicknesses and other related factors to determine the stands participating in the control, and then distributes the load variation among the stands, thus effectively avoiding the influence on the rolling stability due to imbalance of second flow, so that the produced strip with variable thickness in different sections in the longitudinal direction meet the user's requirements.
