Objective
The aim of this research project is to improve control and process strategies for hot strip flatness.
Objectives are:
- the improvement of flatness control strategy through improved measuring devices which introduce self-learning pattern recognition methods to rolling processes, and the integration of closed loop, on-line control in the set-up calculations for shape and profile;
- the evaluation of effects and their interactions on strip flatness after runout from the finishing mill up to entry into the subsequent processing units, by investigating input variables with the aid of artificial intelligence methods;
- the definition of improved setpoint selections and alternative process strategies able to minimize negative modifications to strip flatness.
