Evaluation of Flatness Gauge for Hot Rolling Mills

Larsson, Oliver January 2015 (has links)
In the steel industry, laser triangulation based measurement systems can be utilizedfor evaluating the flatness of the steel products. Shapeline is a company in Linköpingthat manufactures such measurement systems. This thesis work will present a series ofexperiments on a Shapeline measurement system in a relatively untested environment, thehot rolling mill at SSAB in Borlänge.The purpose of this work is to evaluate how the conditions at a hot rolling mill affectsthe measurement performance. It has been anticipated that measuring in high temperatureenvironment would introduce difficulties that do not exist when measuring in cold environments.A number of different experiments were conducted, where equipment such as laserand camera bandpass filter were alternated. Via the experiments, information about noisedue to the environment in the hot rolling mill was gained. The most significant noise wascaused by heat shimmering. Using the presented methods, the magnitude and frequencyspectrum of the heat shimmering noise could be determined. The results also indicates thatheat shimmering cause large errors and is quite troublesome to counter. In addition to this,the quality of the line detections under the hot rolling mill circumstances was examined. Itcould be observed that the line detections did not introduce any significant errors despitethe harmful conditions.

O presente trabalho visa entender as relações entre as propriedades mecânicas e a composição química de fio-máquinas produzidos com aços SAE 1005 e SAE 1405 modificados e os parâmetros de controle de um laminador a fim de se obter, após a laminação a quente, as propriedades mecânicas semelhantes para os dois tipos de aço. A metodologia adotada envolveu as etapas de revisão da literatura e procedimento experimental D.O.E (Design of Experiments), com coleta de amostras de fio-máquina 5,50 mm produzido com o aço SAE 1005 modificado e outras de fio-máquina 5,50 mm produzido com o aço SAE 1405 modificado, nas condições normais de operação para avaliação das propriedades mecânicas através de ensaios de tração e análise metalográfica. Esse resultado visa criar uma alternativa para a fabricação de arames recozidos com o uso do fio-máquina produzido com o aço SAE 1005 modificado, com um menor custo do produto final. / The present work aims to understand the relationships between the mechanical properties and chemical composition of wire rod produced with SAE 1005 and SAE 1405 modified steels and the parameters of a rolling mill in order to obtain, after hot rolling, mechanical properties similar for both types of steel.

A Response Surface Exit Crown Model Built from the Finite Element Analysis of a Hot-Rolling Mill

Stewart, William Elliott 24 October 2011 (has links)
Nine independent and four dependent variables are used to build a response surface to calculate strip crown using the difference in the industry standard strip height measurements. The single element response surface in use provides the advantages of continuous derivatives and decouples rolling load from the determination of exit height. The data points to build the response surface are the product of a calibrated finite element model. The rolling dynamics in the finite element model creates a transient that requires nonlinear regression to find the system steady-state values. Weighted-least squares is used to build a response surface using isoparametric interpolation with the non-rectangular domain of the mill stands represented as a single element. The regression statistics, the 1-D projections, comparisons against other response surface models and the comparisons against an existing strip crown model are part the validation of the response surface generated. A four-high mill stand is modeled as a quarter-symmetry 3-D finite element model with an elastic-plastic material model. A comparison of the pressure distribution under the arc of contact with existing research supports the pressure distribution found with experiments conducted by Siebel and Lueg [16] and it also suggests the need for one improvement in the initial velocity for the strip in the finite element model. The strip exit heights show more sensitivity to change than strip exit crown in seven out of the nine independent variables, so a response surface built with the strip exit height is statistically superior to using the derived dependent variable strip exit crown. Sensitivity of strip exit crown and the strip exit heights to changes in work-roll crown are about equal. Backup-roll diameter sensitivity is small enough that oversampling for the mean trend has to be considered or ignore backup-roll altogether. Strip entry velocity is a new independent variable, unless the response surface is built from the derived variable, strip exit crown. A problem found is that the sensitivity of strip entry crown and work-roll crown requires a larger than typical incremental change to get a reliable measure of the change strip exit crown. A narrow choice of high and low strip entry crowns limits the usefulness of the final response surface. A recommendation is to consider the use of the strip cross-section as an exit crown predictor. / Master of Science

Simulation of Rolling Mill to Computeand Improve Load Distribution / Simulering av valsverk för att identifiera och förbättra lastfördelning

Darth, Pontus January 2021 (has links)
This master thesis was done at Swerim AB in cooperation with SSAB and the Technical University of Luleå in the purpose of preventing spalling problems in hot rolling mills. Spallings are a fatigue damage that occurs on the rolls due to extreme loads and unfavorable conditions between the rolls in a mill. This report describes how the roughing mill, which is the first of a series of hot rolling mills is modelled and simulated in order to compute and improve the load distribution between the rolls. The load distribution tells a lot where the spalling problems occurs. By computer aided design and simulations with the finite element method a parametric computational model was created and used to simulate the load distribution between the work roll and backup roll with worn andfresh rolls. These simulations showed what the load distribution looks like when using new rolls and that the load distribution is especially bad when the work roll is worn. The computational model was used to simulate how the load distribution changes with different geometries on the backup roll to provide valuable input and suggest new designs on the backup roll currently used by SSAB Borlänge.

Contribution à la compréhension du couplage thermomécanique en laminage à chaud sur l’évolution des défauts de coulée / Contribution at the comprehension of thermomechanical coupling on the evolution of the casting defect during rolling

Chevalier, Damien 21 December 2016 (has links)
Le laminage est un procédé de mise en forme à chaud permettant d’obtenir des barres de différents diamètres en partant de blooms issus de la coulée continue. Dans les bruts de coulée se répartissent des inclusions qui sont de natures, de formes et de tailles différentes. Le laminage va permettre de réduire le diamètre de la barre et d’agir sur la microstructure du matériau, notamment, en fragmentant et dispersant les inclusions. L’objectif des travaux de thèse est de contribuer à la compréhension des effets du chargement thermomécanique sur l’évolution des défauts de coulée en laminage. Vu la dimension des installations, les investigations expérimentales directes sur les moyens industriels ne sont pas envisageables. L’idée développée dans les travaux de thèse concerne la mise en place et la validation d’un essai de caractérisation à échelle réduite reproduisant le chemin thermomécanique subi par la matière au cours du laminage. Pour ce faire la ligne de laminage industrielle est modélisé afin d’obtenir le chargement thermomécanique de la barre au cours du laminage. Seules les sollicitations ayant un rôle majeur sur le comportement des défauts sont reproduites. Un essai dit de « forgeage libre » a ainsi été conçu, réalisé, mis en place sur les moyens de mise en forme de la plateforme VULCAIN de l’ENSAM. L’essai a été utilisé avec des défauts artificiels présentant des similarités comme la malléabilité avec les défauts réels. Une campagne expérimentale paramétrique a été menée sur les différents types de défauts. Les échantillons forgés ont été analysés par des méthodes non destructives comme les ultrasons, la radiographie et la tomographie X. Ces analyses ont permis de suivre le comportement du défaut et d’observer certains phénomènes mis en évidence dans la littérature comme l’apparition de cavité à l’interface défaut-matrice. / Rolling is a hot forming process dedicated to manufacture bars with different diameters. The initial product is a bloom from the continuous casting. The bloom contains inclusions which have different forms, sizes and distributions. The rolling reduces the diameter of the bar and acts on the material microstructure by fragmenting and dispersing the inclusions. The aim of the thesis work is to understand the behavior of the inclusions with the rolling thermo mechanical loading effects. The direct investigations on the rolling mill are not possible because of the size of the installations. To address this problem, the solution is to develop and validate a small scale characterization test reproducing the thermo mechanical loading of the rolled bar. To achieve this, the rolling mill is modeled. Only the solicitations which have a major role on the behavior of the defects are reproduced. An open-die forging test is designed, manufactured and implemented on the VULCAIN installation of the ENSAM. The artificial defects which have a similar malleability to the real defects are integrated into the sample. A parametric experimental campaign has been conducted on the different defects. The forged samples have been analyzed with non-destructive methods such as ultrasound, radiography and tomography. These analyses allowed to follow the behavior of the defects and to observe certain phenomena illustrated in the literature such as the emergence of a cavity on the defect-matrix interface.
