Profile, flatness and ski-end control in plate rolling

Objective

Advanced plate profile and flatness control systems are used nowadays in plate mills. They are based on physical models derived from plate temperature, rolling force, roll deflection, roll wear, roll thermal expansion, plate crown and flatness parameters. The goal of this research work is to improve and speed up models for plate pass scheduling, profile and flatness using a profile and shape vector method, which takes account of the decreased period available between passes in the plate mill. The temperature model considers phase transformation, latent heating and re-crystallisation. Rolling forces are calculated using a friction-hill model coupled to neural networks and the shape model is an empirical physical model deduced from FEM calculations.
