Due to the requirement of magnetic properties of silicon steel sheets, producing high-precision size strips is the main aim of the cold rolling industry. The tapered work roll shifting technique of the six-high cold rolling mill is effective in reducing the difference in transverse thickness of the strip edge, but the effective area is limited, especially for a high crown strip after the hot rolling process. The six-high mill with a small work roll size can produce a strip with higher strength and lower thickness under a smaller rolling load. At the same time, the profile of the strip can be substantially improved. By advancing a well-established analytical method, a series of simulation analyses are conducted to reveal the effectiveness of a small work roll radius for the strip profile in the six-high cold rolling process. Through the analysis of flattening deformation and deflection deformation on the load, the change rule of the strip profile produced by the work roll with a small roll diameter can be obtained. Combined with theoretical analysis and industrial experiments, it can be found that the improvement effect of the small work roll radius on the profile of the silicon strip is as significant.

In order to improve the cold rolled steel strip flatness, the load distribution of the tandem cold rolling process is subject to investigation and optimization. The strip deformation resistance model is corrected by an artificial neural network that is trained with the actual measured data of 4500 strip coils. Based on the model, a flatness prediction model of strip steel is established in a five-stand tandem cold rolling mill, and the precision of the flatness prediction model is verified by rolling experiment data. To analyze the effect of load distribution on flatness, the flatness of stand 4 is calculated to be 7.4 IU, 10.6 IU, and 16.8 IU under three typical load distribution modes. A genetic algorithm based on the excellent flatness is proposed to optimize the load distribution further. In the genetic algorithm, the classification of flatness of stand 4 calculated by the developed flatness prediction model is taken as the fitness function, with the optimal reduction of 28.6%, 34.6%, 27.3%, and 18.6% proposed for stands 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. The optimal solution is applied to a 1740 mm tandem cold rolling mill, which reduce the flatness classification from 10.8 IU to 3.2 IU for a 1-mm thick steel strip.

According to that mini spangle is the most common defect affecting the appearance quality of hot-dip 55%Al-Zn alloy coated steel sheet, industrial experiments and statistical analysis were done to investigate the influence of cold rolling process on the formation of mini spangle. The results show that, with the decrease of rolling oil concentration, the increase of rolling time, and the increase of rolling pass, the probability of mini-spangle formation increases. Due to the different equipment conditions, the probability of mini-spangle formation on the upper and lower surfaces of steel strip is different. The reason of mini-spangle formation lies in the presence of carboxylates (R-COO-Fe) result from the residual emulsion on the surface of cold rolled steel strip. The carboxylates may interfere with the interfacial reaction between the steel substrate and Al-Zn bath, and result in more convex Fe5Si2Al20 phases formed on the surface of intermetallic compound layer. The Fe5Si2Al20 phases may provide more heterogeneous nucleation sites for the formation of Al-rich dendrites and lead to the formation of mini spangle.

Edge cracking is commonly observed in cold rolling process. However, its failure mechanism is far from fully understanding due to the complex stresses and plastic flow conditions of steel strip under the rolling condition. In this paper, an extended Gurson–Tvergaard–Needleman (GTN) damage model coupled with Nahshon–Hutchinson shear damage mechanism was introduced to investigate the damage and fracture behavior of steel strip in cold rolling. The results show that extended GTN damage model is efficient in predicting the occurrence of edge crack in cold rolling, and the prediction is more accurate than that of the original GTN damage model. The edge cracking behavior under various cold rolling process parameters is investigated. It comes to the conclusion that edge crack extension increases with the increase of the reduction ratio, tension and the decrease of the roller radius and friction coefficient. The influence of shear damage becomes more significant in rolling condition with a larger reduction ratio, smaller roller radius, lower friction force, and tension.

Edge cracking is a commonly observed phenomenon in cold rolling process, but researchers appear to be far from fully understanding its failure mechanism due to the complex stress conditions of steel strip under the rolling condition. In this research, the shear modified GTN damage model coupled with Nahshon-Hutchinson shear damage mechanism was applied to investigate the damage and fracture behavior of steel strip in cold rolling. The results show that the shear modified GTN damage model is competent to predict the damage and fracture behavior of steel strip in cold rolling. By comparison to the cold rolling experiment, it presents that the prediction of edge crack occurrence of the shear modified GTN damage model is more accurate than that of the original GTN damage model.
