A new method for prediction of forward slip in the tandem cold rolling mill

Abstract

A new method for prediction of forward slip in the tandem cold rolling mill without the velocity meter sensors based on rolling geometry is proposed here. According to this proposed method, an algorithm is developed for online estimation of friction coefficient and strip’s behavior. Online exertion of friction coefficient and strip’s behavior in the rolling’s program results in better control. So, the unsaturated actuators are satisfied and the possibility of strip tearing is decreased. The strip’s material is st12. The material is considered elastic-plastic, homogenous, and it follows the Ludwick’s constitutive equation law. The yield stress of strip and Young modulus are determined by simple tension test on a specimen of strip before rolling. For validation of the developed scheme, two operating samples are considered and the results are compared with the available literature. © 2015, Springer-Verlag London.
