Investigation of a novel technique for controlling flatness in cold rolling and skin pass mills

Obiettivo

A DSR (Dynamic Shape Roll) will be installed on the final stand of a tandem cold mill in order to explore and validate the performance of this flatness actuator. Its ability to improve flatness will be tested, roughness variations across the width of the strip will be studied and homogeneity of the repartition of the forces will be investigated. Efficiency of operation will be compared with that of other actuators and rolling tests will be carried out with the aim of achieving a flatness of approximately 5 I-units for common steel grades and some 10 I-units for high strength steels. The reliability and industrial economics of the installation will also be studied in depth.
