Shape and metallurgical control in skin pass rolling of hot rolled coil

Obiettivo

This project is aimed at developing and demonstrating the full range of control of skin pass and tension levelling operations on hot rolled coil to give good coil presentation with control of total strip shape, consistency of strip surface quality requirements, and maximise the mill scheduling flexibility. The proposal has 5 main objectives:
- to establish a monitor of skin pass and tension levelling operational performance and strip quality, against which the partners can assess progress in fulfilling objectives;
- to develop shape control systems which minimise the manifest and latent shape in the hot rolled coil with feedback measurements from a shapemeter roll, whilst maintaining the required elongation for strip metallurgical and surface requirements;
- to compare roll bending and controlled selective roll heating as a means of roll crown control, and hence strip shape control, during skin pass rolling;
- to establish the relative contribution of skin pass rolling and tension levelling, or a combination of both, in fulfilling both strip, shape control and strip metallurgical/surface quality consistency requirements; - to develop the maximum scheduling flexibility whilst maintaining strip quality requirements.
The proposed programme of work will be carried out at two hot mill finishing departments with different control equipment. Thereby comparisons will be possible on shape, elongation and surface quality and consistency control from the different facilities for a range of different hot rolled coil qualities.
