Abstract

PURPOSE:To make uniform the sheet width of a final product with high accuracy and to improve yield by adding the spread which arises when the fluctuation of the sheet thickness is removed to the fluctuation of a sheet width in the stage of adjusting the vertical roll gap of a rolling installation provided with vertical and horizontal rolls with the sheet width fluctuation. CONSTITUTION:A material 6 to be rolled is subjected to thickness and cross rolling by the horizontal rolls 1, 2 and vertical rolls 3, 4 of stands 10, 11. A width detector 5 on the outlet side of the stand 10 measures continuously the width of the material 6. On the other hand, the fluctuation of the sheet width is determined by using the rolling load of the roll 1 measured actually by a load cell 1a and the temp. of the material 6 measured by a radiation thermometer, etc. The fluctuation of the sheet thickness is removed by AGC and is flattened but the spread arises in the part where the thickness is large. The spread is added to the width fluctuation outputted by the detector 5 and the correction rate of the gap of the roll 4 required for correcting the total sheet width fluctuation is calculated and is inputted to a tracking device 8. The above-mentioned correction rate for the width fluctuating part is taken out of the device 8 and the roll 4 gap is corrected accordingly when the width and thickness measuring part of the material 6 moves to the roll 4.

The causes of the width variation of the hot strip include the width and end face shape of the rollable material (slab), temperature and temperature unevenness, and tension in the finishing mill. Conventional methods for reducing width fluctuations include setting tolerances for slab width fluctuations and the amount of flaw cleaning, setting limits on skid marks and baking temperature differences, employing loopers with good responsiveness, and reducing mill speed. There are efforts to stabilize finishing rolling tension by improving control, etc., and recently, the vertical roll opening degree is actively changed during rolling, and finishing rolling mill tension is changed during rolling according to width fluctuations. , is considered.

Regarding strip width control by changing the opening degree of vertical rolls during rolling, there is, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 101744/1983. This uses the load reaction force and sheet temperature of the vertical rolls as input information, tracks this and changes the opening of the vertical rolls using a feedforward method to reduce fluctuations in sheet width. Continuously determine the surface temperature of the rolled material at each position in the longitudinal direction of the material at the same position as the load reaction force of the upstream vertical roll in a group of hot rough rolling mills equipped with
These values are processed by a storage/arithmetic device to determine the load reaction force deviation and temperature deviation at each position of the material, and necessary to predict the width fluctuation of the rolled material due to these deviations and eliminate the predicted width fluctuation. determining the opening change amount of one or more downstream vertical rolls, and changing the opening degree of the vertical roll based on the vertical roll opening change amount for each position during rolling of the material,
It is characterized by eliminating longitudinal width fluctuations of the material.

In this proposed method, strip width fluctuations are estimated from the load reaction force deviation and temperature deviation of the vertical rolls, but many rolling mills are now equipped with strip width gauges, and in this case, width fluctuations cannot be measured directly with strip width gauges.

Even if the width variation is measured with high accuracy using a plate width gauge and the opening degree of the vertical rolls of the rear rolling mill is adjusted accordingly, this method still has the following problems. In other words, if the width variation is caused by temperature unevenness, then the temperature variation that acts on the vertical rolls and causes the width variation should also act on the horizontal rolls and cause the thickness variation, so the width variation and the thickness variation are synchronized. occurs. By the time the strip becomes the final product, thickness variations are removed by AGC and the strip becomes flat.
When this horizontal roll removes the thickness variation, the width spreads, resulting in width variation. Therefore, simply measuring the width with a plate width meter and adjusting the opening of the vertical rolls according to the measurement results cannot be said to have sufficiently eliminated width fluctuations.

Figure 1 shows a part of hot rough rolling equipment, where 10°1) is a rolling stand, 1 and 2 are its horizontal rolls, and 3.4 is a vertical roll. These horizontal rolls and vertical rolls perform plate thickness rolling and plate width rolling. 5 is a rolling stand 10
A width detector provided on the exit side of the rolling stock continuously measures the width of the flat bar 6, which is the material to be rolled. Curve C1 in Figure 5
indicates the output of the width detector 5. Due to the influence of skid marks and other factors, the strip width at each position in the longitudinal direction of the rolled material usually varies as shown in the figure.

When the plate thickness of the rolled material 6 after rolling is determined at each position in the longitudinal direction of the material, it is as shown by a curve C3 in FIG. 6, and it fluctuates. By actually measuring the plate thickness with a thickness gauge,
Alternatively, it can be determined by calculating using the rolling load of the horizontal roll 1 and the temperature of the rolled material. When the plate width fluctuation is caused by temperature irregularities such as skid marks, the curve C1 and the curve C3 are synchronized as shown. That is, in areas where the plate width is large, the plate thickness is also large, and in areas where the plate width is small, the plate thickness is also small. This is because in areas where the temperature is low and the rigidity of the rolled material is high, both the plate thickness and plate width are large when rolled with the same roll gap and plate width, and the opposite is true in areas where the temperature is low.

Of course, they are not always synchronized in this way; for example, if the width of the board is changed due to a change in the running schedule, but the thickness remains the same, the two will not correspond at this point of change. However, after that, the curve changes synchronously with the curve CI and 03 again. Variations in plate thickness due to skid marks etc. are removed by AGC and the plate becomes flat.

The relationship between the thickness variation and the width variation that occurs when the thickness variation is removed is as shown in FIG. Considering this width expansion, it is correct to assume that the board width was substantially as indicated by the dotted line curve C2 in FIG. Here, 02 is the sum of C1 and the amount of width expansion when removing thickness fluctuations.

The rolling load of the horizontal roll 1 actually measured with the load cell 1a,
Although not shown, the rolled material 6 was measured using a radiation thermometer, etc.
Using this temperature and the actual plate width measured by the width detector 5, the actual plate width variation (curve C2 in FIG. Calculate the vertical roll opening correction amount necessary to remove the width fluctuation, input this correction amount into the tracking device, and move the plate width and plate thickness measurement portion of the rolled material 6 to the vertical roll 4 of the rear stand 1). When moving, the vertical roll opening degree correction amount for the relevant part is taken out from the tracking device, and the opening degree of the vertical roll 4 is corrected accordingly. 7 in FIG. 1 performs the above calculation, that is, calculates the plate thickness variation from the load reaction force and temperature, calculates the resulting width expansion, adds it to the plate width variation output by the width detector 5, and calculates the plate thickness variation from the load reaction force and temperature. This is a device that calculates the opening degree correction amount of the vertical rolls 4 necessary to correct variations in total plate thickness, and 8 takes in the moving distance of the material to be rolled 6 and tracks the calculation result with respect to the travel of the material to be rolled. 9 is an edger for correcting the opening of the vertical roll 4 according to the correction amount output by the tracking device 8;
It is a control device. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the above processing procedure. The sum A of the width variation at each position in the longitudinal direction caused by removing the thickness variation and the output value of the width detector at each position in the longitudinal direction varies as shown in the figure, but from the difference Δb from the average value, the subsequent The amount of change in the edger opening of the stand is calculated, and the edger opening of the stand is changed.
