been developed for hot or cold mill processes. The Brit-ish Iron and SteelResearch Association (B1SRA) AGC method based on the gaug meter principle and the feede forward AGC method using the delivery time of the strip have been widely utilized in steel rolling mills [3]. Strip products thickness precision is an important quality parameter.
The strip exit thickness h, is given by: h =S (F,W) + (S-So) + e (1) where S (F,W) is the elastic deformation of the stand components, W is the strip width, S is the rollgap position with respect to an arbitrary datum, So is a constant and e is the effective total eccentricity signal for the complete set of rolls in the mill.
Strip Thickness Control of Cold Rolling Mill with Roll Eccentricity Compensation by Using Fuzzy Neural Network In rolling mill, the accuracy and quality of the strip exit thickness are very important factors. To realize high accuracy in the strip exit thickness, the Automatic Gauge Control (AGC) system
This paper considers some of the control issues in hot rolling mills. Hence to set the context, first we give a brief description of a typical process. The role of a hot strip mill process is to roll the slabs produced in a continuous casting process and produce strips of thickness 0.8–20 mm. Fig. 1 shows a typical layout of a hot strip mill.
To control the output thickness, the motion of hydraulic cylinder controlling the roll gap position is such that produces the desired output thickness [6]. Roll eccentricities are caused by axial...
The rolled strip is cooled down by spraying water in a run-out table and coiled by a down coiler. The final product may be processed further through cold rolling mills in order to produce thinner steel sheet. However, the quality of these thinner sheets is seriously affected by any quality defects arising during hot rolling.
To meet this requirement, an output regulating control system with a roll-eccentricity estimator for each rolling stand of tandem cold mills was considered. Assuming entry …

Control, automation and the hot rolling of steel By P. J. Reeve, A. F. MacAlister and T. S. Bilkhu ALSTOM Drives & Controls Ltd], Boughton Road, Rugby CV21 1BU, UK The current state of automation and control for hot rolling mills, with a particular emphasis on flat products, is introduced. A typical modern control-system design
Roll eccentricity is an important factor causing thickness variations during hot strip rolling and might define the limit of strip thickness control accuracy. An improved multi-resolution wavelet transform algorithm was proposed to compensate for the roll eccentricity. The wavelet transform method had good localization characteristics in both the time and frequency …
The Hot Rolling Process The primary function of the Hot Strip Mill is to reheat semi-finished steel slabs of steel nearly to their melting point, then roll them thinner and longer through 12 successive rolling mill stands driven by motors totaling 77,000 hp, and finally coiling up the lengthened steel sheet for transport to the next process.
A method of rolling material in a rolling mill in which the material is directed from an unwind coil of the material to the mill and/or to a rewind coil of the material from the mill, the material being under tension as it is directed to and from the mill. The directing process has at least one cyclic disturbance which ordinarily causes cyclic changes in the tension of the material and in the ...
In this paper, a bandpass filter with high gain in the given frequency is introduced which is able to overcome the roll eccentricity of BUR and is very simple compared with other roll eccentricity control (REC) methods. This filter has a distinctive characteristic. The only required information for designing the filter is revolution time of BUR.

These strategies are well known and are described, for example, in "Automatic Shape Control-- Hoogoven's 88--In. Hot Strip Mill" by F. Hollander and A. G. Reinen, Iron and Steel Engineer, April, 1976. Strip flatness control will be improved where the rolling force at each stand is maintained more nearly constant throughout the strip length.

The nonlinear model of main drive system in cold rolling process, which considers the influence with parameter uncertainties such as clearance and variable friction coefficient, as well as external disturbance by roll eccentricity and variation of strip material quality, is built. By transformation, the lower triangular structure form of main drive system is obtained.
Percentage reduction in mill scale loss due to use of protective anti-scale coating: 56.98%. On an average, approximately 70% reduction in mill scale is usually achieved by the use of anti-scale protective coating in open die hot forging and hot rolling of stainless steel. This amounts to lucrative savings and increased yield.
