Roller quench is a rapid cooling technique used in strip continuous heat-treatment process, which is one of the most important processes in producing cold-rolled strip steel. Heat transports by contact heat transfer in roller quench, for the complex characteristics of contact heat transfer, roller quench is very difficulty to simulate. In this paper a roller quench heat transfer model is build based on Fourier-Kirchhoff differential equations. A new correlation function of contact conductance is developed from statistical mechanics model results by least square method. This correlation function solves the heat transfer boundary condition in contact region between strip and roller. In this model the contact radiation is also considered. The roller quench model predicts the heat transfer characteristics of roller quench. The model is useful for the designing and controlling of the roller quench system.
The continuous annealing process of strip steel is aimed to archive the required physical and mechanical properties. During this process, strip temperature is of great importance for controlling metallurgical transformation and grain size. This paper describes the modeling of the heating process in a horizontal annealing furnace used for producing stainless steel. The steady-state model is designed to predict strip temperature in the heating section, so it can simulate the annealing process of new varieties of steel never been produces. The strip temperatures predicted by model well correspond to the field data. This confirms the correctness and accuracy of the model.
by studying steelmaking-casting-rolling production process, a mathematical model of integrated batch planning is established innovatively to minimize processing costs of whole line and computed by an intelligent optimization ant algorithm. On the premise of utilizing and coordinating capacity of steelmaking and rolling, the mathematical model of integrated batch planning can create integrated batch planning to combine steelmaking-casting-rolling closely according to each process constraint conditions and optimization objective. Furthermore, another mathematical model of job scheduling based on heat process model is proposed to not only guarantee the logistics balance between continuous casting and hot rolling, but also acquire the highest ratio of DHCR and lowest energy consumption.
The phenomenon of buckling is attributed to the non-uniform stress imposed on strip. This paper investigates the occurrence of this non-uniform by calculating the stress distribution in circumferential and axial direction. The results indicate that stress distribution is even in circumferential direction, and the non-uniform happens in the axial direction. Furthermore, this non-uniform is quiet related to the proportion of strip width and the roll flat part length. Meanwhile, the roll flat part length should as long as it could be in the context of insuring the enough centripetal force to prevent the snaking.
