Background: Rolling mill vibration mechanism is very complex, and people haven't found a satisfactory vibration control method. Rolling interface is one of the vibration sources of the rolling mill system, and its friction and lubrication state has a great impact on the vibration of the rolling mill system. It is necessary to establish an accurate friction model for unsteady lubrication process of roll gap and a nonlinear vibration dynamic model for rolling process. In addition, it is necessary to obtain more direct and real rolling mill vibration characteristics from the measured vibration signals, and then study the vibration suppression method and design the vibration suppression device. Methods: This paper summarizes the friction lubrication characteristics of rolling interface and its influence on rolling mill vibration, as well as the dynamic friction model of rolling interface, the tribological model of unsteady lubrication process of roll gap, the non-linear vibration dynamic model of rolling process, the random and non-stationary dynamic behavior of rolling mill vibration, etc. At the same time, the research status of rolling mill vibration testing technology and vibration suppression methods were summarized. Time-frequency analysis of non-stationary vibration signals was reviewed, such as wavelet transform, Wigner-Ville distribution, empirical mode decomposition, blind source signal extraction, rolling vibration suppression equipment development. Results: The lubrication interface of the roller gap under vibration state presents unsteady dynamic characteristics. The signals generated by the vibration must be analyzed in time and frequency simultaneously. In the aspect of vibration suppression of rolling mill, the calculation of inherent characteristics should be carried out in the design of rolling mill to avoid dynamic defects such as resonance. When designing or upgrading the mill structure, it is necessary to optimize the structure of the work roll bending and roll shifting system, such as designing and developing the automatic adjustment mechanism of the gap between the roller bearing seat and the mill stand, adding floating support device to the drum shaped toothed joint shaft, etc. In terms of rolling technology, rolling vibration can be restrained by improving roll lubrication, reasonably distributing rolling force of each rolling mill, reducing rolling force of vibration prone rolling mill, increasing entrance temperature, reducing rolling inlet tension, reducing strip outlet temperature and reasonably arranging roll diameter. The coupling vibration can also be suppressed by optimizing the hydraulic servo system and the frequency conversion control of the motor. Conclusion: Under the vibration state, the lubrication interface of roll gap presents unsteady dynamic characteristics. The signal generated by vibration must be analyzed by time-frequency distribution. In the aspect of vibration suppression of rolling mill, the calculation of inherent characteristics should be carried out in the design of rolling mill to avoid dynamic defects such as resonance. It is necessary to optimize the structure of work roll bending and roll shifting system when designing or reforming the mill structure. In rolling process, rolling vibration can be restrained by improving roll lubrication, reasonably distributing rolling force of each rolling mill, increasing billet temperature, reasonably arranging roll diameter and reducing rolling inlet tension. Through the optimization of the hydraulic servo system and the frequency conversion control of the motor, the coupling vibration can be suppressed. The paper has important reference significance for vibration suppression of continuous rolling mill and efficient production of high quality strip products.

3D rolling is a novel technology for three-dimensional surface parts. In this process, by controlling the gap between the upper and lower forming rolls, the sheet metal is non-uniformly thinned in thickness direction, and the longitudinal elongation of the sheet metal is different along the transverse direction, which makes the sheet metal generate three-dimensional deformation. In this paper, the transition zones of spherical surface parts in 3D rolling process are investigated. Spherical surface parts with the same widths but different lengths are simulated in condition of the same roll gap, and their experimental results are presented. The forming precision of forming parts and the causes of transition zones in the head and tail regions are analyzed through simulated results. The simulated and experimental results show that the lengths of transition zones of spherical surfaces in the head and tail regions are fixed values in condition of the same sheet width and roll gap.

This paper presents a dynamic simulator of the electromechanical coupling start-up of a ball mill. The electromechanical coupling model based on the dynamic model of the ball mill, the characteristic equation of the clutch, and the dynamic model of the induction motor is established. Comparison between the simulation results of angular speed, load torque and current obtained from the model, and the experimental results is conducted to validate the correctness of these simulation results. Results show that the simulation results of the electromechanical model are highly consistent with the experimental results. Two indexes are proposed for evaluation. Finally, a 4500 kW ball mill is used to analyse the start-up process with different operation parameters of the air clutch. The effect of the engagement time and the pressure of the air clutch on the torque, current, and shock extent is analysed. Moreover, the optimum inflation time is determined.

Using rigid-plastic finite element DEFORMTM 2D software, this study simulates the plastic deformation of complex sheets at the roll gap during the sheet rolling process. Specifically, the study addresses the deformation of complex sheets containing inclusion defects. Under various rolling conditions, the present numerical analysis investigates the damage factor distributions, the void length at the front and rear of the inclusion, the deformation mechanisms, and the stress-strain distributions around the inclusion. The relative influences of the thickness reduction, the roll radii, and the friction factors on the void length at the front and rear of the inclusion, respectively, are systematically examined. Additionally, the correlation between the front and rear void lengths and a series of damage factors is explored. The simulation results appear to verify the suitability of the DEFORMTM 2D software for modeling the rolling of complex sheets containing inclusions.

Due to the complexity of H-beam’s cross section, it is difficult to calculate the rolling force and force torque accurately using classic formulas conveniently when H-beams of new size are developed. This paper describes an investigation into the reversing process of H-beam using MARC software and compares the results with rolling data from the production line. A FEM model involving in three-dimensional, elastic-plastic and thermo-mechanical coupling has been established successfully to predict multi-pass rolling process. The analysis produces outputs such as deformation rules, rolling force and the web thickening. The influence of rolling reduction, the reduction rate between the web and flange are also discussed. The indications are that there is much difference between the measurement of rolling force and the rolling force calculated by using classic formulas. The reason is that real reduction during rolling process is much more than the scheduled one. A new revised method was suggested to calculate the rolling force. The simulation results show that this new method for calculating rolling force is feasible.

Rigid plastic finite element method (RPFEM) is one of the most efficient numerical methods during the rolling process. Realizing FEM online application has been main target for many researchers. The influence of compile method, elements number, compressible parameter, friction factor and convergent criteria were investigated and RPFEM model of fast solution to strip rolling was proposed in this work. Compile method and compressible parameter have less influence on calculated rolling force. However, the iteration steps are reduced and computational efficiency is improved greatly with compile method of release and compressible parameter 0.01. The change of calculated rolling force becomes less but iteration steps become more and more with the increment of elements number. Both accuracy and efficiency is satisfying with the change of elements number from 50 to 200. In addition, the typical rolling schedule from a certain plant has been solved with the developed program FFEM-2D by FORTRAN. The predicted rolling force has a good agreement with the measured value. The iteration steps change from 12 to 36 and computational time is less than 200(ms) with the model in one pass rolling. Therefore, the accuracy is satisfying and computational time fully meets the basic requirements of FEM online application. Keywords: Rolling; RPFEM; Fast solution; Computational time

Unbalanced fault is the most common fault of high-speed motorized spindle, which is the main factor affecting the machining accuracy of high-speed spindle. Due to the unbalanced magnetic pull produced by the air gap eccentricity of the stator and rotor, the unbalanced vibration of the motorized spindle will be further aggravated. In order to explore the dynamic behavior and motion law of the unbalanced fault motorized spindle under the eccentric state, a dynamic model of the unbalanced fault of the high-speed motorized spindle considering the unbalanced magnetic pull was established. Taking the eccentric motorized spindle customized by the research group as the research object, the dynamic model is established, simulated, and analyzed, and the response change law of motorized spindle under the effect of different speed, unbalance, and air gap is obtained. The simulation results show that the unbalanced magnetic pull caused by static eccentricity will increase the unbalanced vibration of motorized spindle, and the unbalanced vibration will also increase with the increase of static eccentricity. The vibration caused by unbalanced magnetic pull does not increase with the increase of rotating speed. In frequency-domain analysis, when there is unbalanced magnetic pull, the peak appears at 0 Hz, and the amplitude of fundamental frequency vibration will increase with the increase of eccentricity. The experimental results show that the greater the eccentricity is, the greater the unbalance vibration of the motorized spindle is. The experimental results are consistent with the simulation results, which further verify the accuracy of the model. The research results lay a theoretical basis for fault analysis and diagnosis of coupling fault motorized spindle.

An effective dynamic model is the basis for studying rolling mill vibration. Through analyzing characteristics of different types of vibration, a coupling vibration structure model is established, in which vertical vibration, horizontal vibration, and torsional vibration can be well indicated. In addition, based on the Bland-Ford-Hill rolling force model, a dynamic rolling process model is formulated. On this basis, the rolling mill vertical-torsional-horizontal coupled dynamic model is constructed by coupling the rolling process model and the mill structure model. According to this mathematical model, the critical rolling speed is determined and the accuracy of calculated results is verified by experimental data. Then, the interactions between different subsystems are demonstrated by dynamic responses in both time and frequency domains. Finally, the influences of process parameters and structure parameters on system stability are analyzed. And a series of experiments are conducted to verify the correctness of these analysis conclusions. The results show that the vertical-torsional-horizontal coupled model can reasonably characterize the coupling relationship between the mill structure and the rolling process. These studies are helpful for formulating a reasonable technological procedure of the rolling process and determining a feasible dynamic modification strategy of the structure as well.
