The current trend in temper rolling is to make a small reduction to steel strip in order to achieve higher strength with good formability and toughness. In addition, very high strength steels can be cold rolled twice with very small reductions. This causes problems in setup values for cold rolling. Rolling models are usually overestimating roll flattening in the case of small reductions.In temper rolling thickness reduction is small (0.5 – 3%) and the elastic deformation of the work roll should be taken into account [3]. However, standard circular arc roll gap models (e.g. Bland Ford Ellis combined with Hitchcock model) fail to predict the roll flattening and thus the rolling force [4]. In this work, finite element method has been used to define a simplified model for work roll flattening and contact length. Model describes the effect of reduction, strength of steel strip and roll radius.

In temper rolling thickness reduction is small (0,5 – 2%) and the elastic deformation of the work roll should be taken into account. During finishing rolling, classical cold rolling theories fail to predict the roll flattening and thus the rolling force. Numerous different mathematical models have been developed for temper rolling process. However, often the non-circular theories are computationally expensive and the range of usability is questionable. In this study, elasto- plastic finite element analysis, laboratory rolling tests and inverse computing from skin pass mill process data has been carried out. The aim is to find the roll shape, contact length and the rolling force to create a simplified model for controlling of temper rolling. In addition, the ability of different skin pass rolling theories has been compared with measured process values.

The influence on the shape of the strip from rolling force fluctuations has been analyzed. The combination of intermediate roll bending and work roll bending has been adopted. The principle of rolling force feed-forward control has been analyzed. The feed-forward control model has been established on the basis of neural networks. The model has been successfully applied to a rolling mill and a good effect has been achieved.

Roll wear model for Hot Strip Mill (HSM) was researched and the factors affect roll wear are analyzed. The simulation program was compiled by program visual C++ language and work roll wear was calculated according to the rolling schedule. Calculation results shows that roll wear like box shape. Strip width affects roll wear clearly. The strip length is one of the important issues which affect roll wear. Work roll wear of F7 top roll middle get to 280μm after a rolling schedule. Roll wear curve calculated by program were good agreement with the wear curve got by high-precision grinder. The results show that the roll wear model has high accuracy.
