Simulation Modeling in the Research of Metallurgical Equipment Operation

Abstract

Rolling production refers to the final link of the metallurgical cycle, the quality of products shipped to the consumer depends on the consistency of the work of all units. The wear and tear of the main production facilities of enterprises of the metallurgical complex requires not only updating, but also constant modernization of dated equipment in the conditions of active production. The main equipment of the production lines of wide-scale rolling mills includes coilers, the quality of which depends not only on the rhythm of the rolling equipment, but also on the quality of the material shipped to the consumer. Simulation modeling of the winding process of hot-rolled billot made it possible to establish the possibility of torsional oscillations in the coiler drum drive. Further analysis of the form of the resulting oscillations made it possible to establish that the elastic deformations from the resistance forces of the electric motor and the rotating parts of the coiler drum are in antiphase. The performed calculations create prerequisites for the study of forced oscillations occurring in the coiler drum drive.
