Description
- Aspects of embodiments relate to a width control apparatus and method for the use thereof in a single continuous rolling process line between continuous casting and hot rolling, and more particularly, to a technology for controlling product width at an exit section of a finishing mill to have a predetermined target width without using an edger, a width varying device. An apparatus and a method in accordance with the preambles of claim 1 and claim 6 respectively is e.g. known from document
WO99/04915 A - Mini-mills are mills performing a process of melting scraps using an electrical furnace and then producing steel using continuous casting-rolling equipment.
-
FIG. 1 illustrates a mini-mill including a continuous caster CC, a roughing mill RM, a heating device HD, a finishing mill FM, and a down coiler DC. In such a mini-mill, continuous rolling is performed between continuous casting and hot rolling without ceasing. Here, width control is performed using a method provided by installing an edger, a width varying device, at a rear end of the continuous caster CC or a front end of the finishing mill FM, a method in which rolling is performed by allowing a width of an exit section of the continuous caster CC to be maintained constantly without a width variation, a method performed by varying a continuous casting mold width, or the like. - However, in the case of the method using an edger, when a mini-mill process illustrated with reference to
FIG. 1 is performed, since a thickness of a slab of the continuous caster and a bar thickness of an exit section of the roughing mill RM are relatively thin, a buckling problem may occur. Further, since difficulties in adding an edger due to a spatial restriction in an installation thereof may be present, there may also be difficulties in the commercialization thereof. - Accordingly, the method of performing rolling by constantly maintaining a width of an exit section of the continuous caster CC without a width variation and the method of varying a width by varying a continuous casting mold width may be used.
- However, in the case of constantly maintaining a width of an exit side of the continuous caster, it may be difficult to variously cope with requirements for products having various widths.
- In addition, in a case in which only a continuous casting mold width is varied and thus width spread or shrinkage thereof occurs during passing through a liquid core reduction (LCR) in a continuous caster, a roughing mill and a finishing mill, compensation therefore may be difficult to be carried out and it may thus be difficult to obtain a uniform width.

FIG. 2 illustrates a process in which a single continuous rolling process between continuous casting and hot rolling is performed in a mini-mill according to an embodiment. - Embodiments will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
- Embodiments may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the inventive concept to those skilled in the art.
-
FIG. 2 illustrates a process in which a single continuous rolling process between continuous casting and hot rolling is performed in a mini-mill process according to an embodiment. - With reference to
FIG. 2 , a width control apparatus according to an embodiment may be an apparatus for width control in a single continuous rolling process line between continuous casting and hot rolling, in a mini-mill including a continuous caster CC, a roughing mill RM, a heating device HD and a finishing mill FM. In addition, the width control apparatus includes awidth measuring unit 3, atension control unit 4 and a width control unit5. - The
tension control unit 4 may perform control such that tension applied to a strip between the roughing mill RM and the finishing mill FM may have a target tension value. In this case, the tension applied to a strip between the roughing mill RM and the finishing mill FM may be directly measured through thetension measuring portion 2 or may be estimated using a rolling load of the roughing mill RM, motor torque, or a measured value of tension applied to a strip between stands. The rolling load of the roughing mill RM may be measured by a load measuring device 7. The measurement value of tension applied to a strip between stands may be measured by thetension measuring portion 2. - The
tension control unit 4 may control a speed of a first stand of an entrance section of the finishing mill FM such that tension applied to a strip between the roughing mill RM and the finishing mill FM may have a target tension value. In an embodiment, when the tension applied to a strip between the roughing mill RM and the finishing mill FM is lower than a target tension value, the speed of the first stand may be increased in proportion to a difference value between the tension applied to a strip between the roughing mill RM and the finishing mill FM and the target tension value. On the other hand, when the tension applied to a strip between the roughing mill RM and the finishing mill FM is higher than the target tension value, the speed of the first stand may be delayed in reverse proportion to a difference value between the tension applied to a strip between the roughing mill (RM) and the finishing mill FM and the target tension value. - Width control may be performed through tension control performed by the
tension control unit 4. In addition thereto, more precise control of product width may be performed by measuring a width of an exit section of the finishing mill FM so as to vary a tension target value, a tension control reference value of thetension control unit 4. To this end, a width control apparatus according to an embodiment may further include awidth measuring unit 3 and awidth control unit 5. - The
width measuring unit 3 may measure a width of an exit section of the finishing mill. - When a measured width of an exit section of the finishing mill FM differs from a target width, the
width control unit 5 may control thetension control unit 4 so as to change the target tension value. - For example, when a measured width of the exit section of the finishing mill FM is smaller than the target width, the
width control unit 5 may control thetension control unit 4 so as to lower the target tension value in proportion to a difference between the measured width of the exit section of the finishing mill FM and the target width. Accordingly, as thetension control unit 4 lowers the target tension value, shrinkage in a width of a strip between the roughing mill RM and the finishing mill FM, occurring due to tension, may be reduced. Therefore, the width of the exit section of the finishing mill FM may be increased so as to reach a target width. - On the other hand, when the measured width of the exit section of the finishing mill FM is greater than a target width, the
width control unit 5 may control thetension control unit 4 so as to increase the target tension value in proportion to a difference between the measured width of the exit section of the finishing mill FM and the target width. As a result, a width of a strip between the roughing mill RM and the finishing mill FM may be shrunk. Accordingly, the width of the exit section of the finishing mill FM may be reduced to reach the target width. - Accordingly, the width may controlled such that the width of a strip between the roughing mill RM and the finishing mill FM is shrunk or expanded by controlling the tension applied to a strip between the roughing mill RM and the finishing mill FM to be raised or lowered, such that the width of the exit section of the finishing mill FM may have a target width.
- In addition, since the width control through feedback of the width of the exit section of the finishing mill FM is performed using the
width measuring unit 3, the width in a direction of the strip length may be constantly controlled. - The width control in the single continuous rolling process line between continuous casting and hot rolling, using the width control apparatus, may be performed in a sequence in which tension applied to a strip between the roughing mill RM and the finishing mill FM is measured or estimated and the measured or estimated tension is controlled to a target tension value.
- In addition thereto, the width of the exit section of the finishing mill FM may be measured, and when the measured width of the exit section of the finishing mill FM differs from the target width, the target tension value may be changed, such that the width of the exit section of the finishing mill FM may be more accurately controlled.
- Therefore, according to an embodiment of the inventive concept, in a continuous mini-mill process performed between continuous casting and hot rolling, even when a width variation occurs during the continuous rolling process without using an edger, a width thereof may be constantly controlled. For example, the width of a strip between the roughing mill RM and the finishing mill FM may be decreased or increased through tension applied to a strip between the roughing mill RM and the finishing mill RM, and the tension applied to a strip between the roughing mill RM and the finishing mill FM may be continuously increased or decreased so as to obtain a target width of a product by measuring a width of an exit section of the finishing mill FM. As a result, during the continuous rolling process, product width variations and controlling for uniform width may be performed without using an edger, and an excellent width quality as compared to that of a conventional hot rolling process may be provided.
- An implementation embodiment of the inventive concept will be described. Here, it may be assumed that the width of the exit section of the finishing mill FM is greater than the target width, by about 10 to 20mm. In an embodiment, the width of a strip provided between the roughing mill RM and the finishing mill FM may be reduced to be within a range of 10 to 20mm by using a tension control function of the
tension control unit 4. In addition thereto, in a case in which a width of an exit section of the finishing mill FM measured through thewidth measuring unit 3, so as to allow for the width of the exit section of the finishing mill FM to become a target width, differs from the target width, thewidth control unit 5 may control thetension control unit 4 to perform a process in which the width of a strip provided between the roughing mill RM and the finishing mill FM is further increased or decreased. For example, in order to produce a product having a target margin width of about 7mm, the width of the exit section of the roughing mill may first be reduced by about 3mm by increasing tension of the strip. In this case, when the width of the exit section of the finishing mill measured through thewidth measuring unit 3 differs from the target width, thewidth control unit 5 may control thetension control unit 4 such that the width of the strip between the roughing mill RM and the finishing mill FM may be controlled by increasing or decreasing the tension applied to the strip between the roughing mill RM and the finishing mill FM so as to allow for the width of the exit section of the finishing mill FM to reach the target width. - As set forth above, in a width control apparatus and method for the use thereof in single continuous rolling process line between continuous casting and hot rolling according to an embodiment of the inventive concept, product width at an exit section of a finishing mill may be controlled to have a predetermined target width without using an edger, a width varying device.
- While the inventive concept has been shown and described in connection with embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications and variations can be made without departing from the scope of the present inventive concept as defined by the appended claims.
