JP6086091B2 - Rolling method of taper steel plate with excellent flatness - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a method for rolling a tapered steel plate having good flatness.

  A tapered steel plate is a general term for steel plates having different plate thicknesses in the longitudinal direction of the steel plate, and is a high-functional steel plate having one or more tapered portions and capable of reducing the weight of the steel structure and the number of welding points. Tapered steel plates are often used for shipbuilding and bridge materials.

  As shown in FIG. 1, there are various types of taper steel plates having various thicknesses. There are unidirectional taper steel plates in which the plate thickness increases or decreases over the entire length, and bidirectional taper steel plates in which the plate thickness increases or decreases in a convex shape. Two-direction taper steel sheets can be cut into two pieces by cutting the thick-direction steel sheet. There are two patterns, whether there are parallel parts at the tip and tail.

  Since the thickness of such a tapered steel plate continuously changes in the longitudinal direction of the steel plate, it is difficult to correct the roll gap in the next pass using the actual thickness of each pass used in normal plate rolling. .

  In general, when a tapered steel plate is manufactured from a material having the same thickness in the longitudinal direction by rolling, a shape defect may occur in the material to be rolled in a pass that changes the thickness. When such a shape defect is remarkable, a wave called an oto wave is generated at the edge of the material to be rolled as shown in FIG. 2A, and the width of the material to be rolled as shown in FIG. A wave called a medium wave is generated at the center.

  As a rolling method of a tapered steel plate in which the plate thickness varies in the length direction, Patent Document 1 discloses that “in the taper rolling by a plurality of passes in the plate longitudinal direction, the maximum plate thickness and the minimum plate thickness in each pass are defined as the plate thickness. A taper rolling method characterized in that the taper rolling method is set within the allowable shape range with the rolling reaction force is disclosed. According to Patent Document 1, as shown in FIG. 3, when the starting rolled material (a) is rolled onto a rolled plate (b) having a tapered portion, the rolling reaction force becomes smaller as the plate thickness becomes smaller as shown in (c). growing. Therefore, since rolling to a thin part / thick part or a thick part / thin part is performed in rolling of a taper part, the fluctuation | variation of a rolling reaction force will arise in the same rolled sheet. Therefore, rolling is performed by the B region (ear wave generation region) and the C region (medium wave generation region) outside the shape maintenance allowable range A shown in FIG.

  Patent Document 2 states that, in manufacturing a metal plate product whose thickness changes in the longitudinal direction by rolling a material having the same thickness in the longitudinal direction, a flat plate whose maximum thickness in the metal plate product is a flat product thickness; Similarly, for a flat plate having the minimum thickness as a flat product thickness, a pass schedule is disclosed in which rolling is started from the same thickness material and finished to the respective target thicknesses with the same number of passes.

  Even if the rolling pass schedule is within the shape maintenance allowable range of Patent Document 1, the final pass is the A schedule (minimum thickness flat plate) and B schedule (maximum thick flat plate) in the pass schedule shown in Patent Document 2 (FIG. 5). The rolling reaction force becomes larger as it approaches. This does not take into account the rolling reaction force difference between the maximum plate thickness portion and the minimum plate thickness portion of the metal plate per pass, so the change in the plate crown ratio becomes large, and the pass schedule shown in FIG. Thus, if the difference in rolling reaction force in the final pass is large, the flatness in the length direction of the metal plate cannot be maintained.

  In the taper steel plate rolling, the A schedule and the B schedule occur in the same pass of the same steel plate. When rolling is performed in consideration of the difference in the rolling reaction force between the thick part and the thin part, the number of rolling passes is infinite. There is a problem that it is necessary to increase, rolling temperature is lowered and rolling does not work.

  Then, an object of this invention is to obtain the taper steel plate excellent in the flatness in a length direction.

  The gist of the present invention is as follows.

  [1] The ratio of the work roll bender load to the rolling load is constant when rolling a tapered steel sheet having a taper portion whose thickness changes continuously in the length direction of the steel sheet by a hot reversible rolling mill having a work roll bender. And flatness characterized by changing the work roll bender load in accordance with the change in rolling load at the thickness change point to the thin part / thick part or the thickness change point to the thick part / thin part An excellent method for rolling tapered steel sheets.

  When the work roll bender load is set as in the present invention, a tapered steel plate having excellent flatness can be obtained.

It is a figure explaining the relationship between (a) starting rolling material, (b) rolling material which has a taper, (c) board thickness, and rolling reaction force. It is a figure explaining a shape maintenance allowable range. It is a figure explaining the relationship between the outgoing side plate thickness and the rolling reaction force in the pass schedule of the maximum plate thickness and the minimum plate thickness. It is a figure explaining the sheet thickness control system of a hot rolling mill. It is a figure explaining the relationship between the rolling load and work roll bender load in a prior art example. It is a figure explaining the relationship between the rolling load of this invention, and a work roll bender load. It is a figure explaining the correction rate in the cold leveler in a prior art example and an invention example.

  First, the control apparatus of the hot rolling mill which is one Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated using FIG. The reversible hot rolling mill 1 includes a pair of upper and lower work rolls 3 for rolling a steel plate 21, a pair of upper and lower backup rolls 2, and a work roll bender for flattening the steel plate 21 in the width direction. Repeat pass hot rolling to roll into the desired shape.

  The work roll bender forcibly bends the work roll 3 according to the rolling reaction force in order to prevent the work roll 3 from being bent by the rolling reaction force during rolling and preventing the bulging of the central portion of the steel plate 21 from occurring. This is a device for flattening the steel plate 21 in the width direction.

  Both shafts of the upper and lower work rolls 3 are supported on the work roll chock in the housing of the rolling mill. The work roll chock is supported by a pair of work roll balance cylinders built into the housing block of the housing block and the backup roll chock so as to apply a bending force to the work roll chock.

  The reversible hot rolling mill 1 includes a magnescale 5, a load cell 6, a pulse generator 7, a hydraulic cylinder 4, a servo amplifier 11, a servo valve 12, a work roll bender servo valve 13, an AGC control panel 8, and a controller as control system equipment. 9, signals from each device are sent to the process computer 10 via the AGC control panel 8 and the controller 9.

Next, the operation method of the reversible hot rolling mill 1 will be described.
The steel plate 21 is rolled by a pair of upper and lower work rolls 3 and 3 backed up by a pair of upper and lower backup rolls 2 and 2, and the amount of reduction is controlled by the hydraulic cylinder 4. At that time, the roll opening degree S of the work rolls 3 and 3 is detected by the magnescale 5, the rolling load P is detected by the load cell 6, and the rotation speed W of the work roll 3 is detected by the pulse generator 7. A rolling load P and roll opening degree S during rolling are sent from the AGC control panel 8, and a work roll rotational speed W is sent from the pulse generator 7 to the process computer 10 via the controller 9. In the process computer 10, the roll opening correction amount ΔS at each point in the longitudinal direction of the biting end is calculated and output to the controller 9. Further, the controller 9 should detect the control point in the longitudinal direction after the plate has been caught by the work roll rotation speed from the pulse generator 7 and control it between the work roll bender servo valve 13 and the AGC control panel 8. The bending force Fb0 and the actual bending force Fb are input and output. A roll opening correction amount ΔS to be controlled is output to the servo amplifier 11 via the AGC control panel 8, the hydraulic cylinder 4 is operated via the servo valve 12, and the roll opening S of the upper and lower work rolls 3 is set to a predetermined value. Change control to value.

  Next, the work roll bender load will be described.

  The definition of the items necessary for the calculation is as follows.

ΔCr (P): Crown amount generated due to difference between predicted rolling load and actual rolling load ΔCr (Pb): Crown amount generated due to difference between predicted work roll vendor load and actual work roll vendor load ΔP: Predicted rolling load and actual rolling Difference from load ΔPb: Difference between predicted work roll vender load and actual work roll vender load ∂Cr / ∂P: Rolling load-Crown influence coefficient (represents the amount of crown change when the rolling load changes by 1 ton)
∂Cr / ∂Pb: Work roll vender load-crown influence coefficient (represents the amount of crown change when the work roll vender load changes by 1 ton)
Then, since the work roll vender load is applied in the direction to cancel the crown generated by the rolling load, the total becomes zero.

ΔCr (P) + ΔCr (Pb) = 0 (1)
ΔCr (P) and ΔCr (Pb) are expressed by the following equations (2) and (3).

ΔCr (P) = ΔP · ∂Cr / ∂P (2)
ΔCr (Pb) = ΔPb · ∂Cr / ∂Pb (3)
Substituting Equation (2) and Equation (3) into Equation (1), ΔPb / ΔP = − (∂Cr / ∂P) / (∂Cr / ∂Pb) (4)
It is expressed.

  That is, in order to make the ratio of the crown generated by the rolling load and the crown generated by the work roll bender constant in the same pass, the work roll bender load is changed in accordance with the change of the rolling load and the load ratio is made constant. There is a need. By making the crown ratio constant, the flatness in the tapered steel plate can be maintained.

  FIG. 7 is a view for explaining the relationship between the rolling load and the work roll bender load of a tapered steel plate having a thin part and a thick part in the conventional example. Conventionally, the bending load is constant regardless of the rolling site (constant in the plate). In this case, the bending pressure in the thick part is too large, and the thick part tends to have a minus crown. On the other hand, FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the relationship between the rolling load and bending load of a tapered steel plate having a thin part and a thick part in the present invention. The ratio of the work roll bender load to the rolling load is made constant, and the work roll bender load is changed according to the change of the rolling load at the point of thickness change to the thin part / thick part or thick part / thin part. .

The ratio of the work roll bender load to the rolling load in the present embodiment is preferably in the range of 1 to 10% in consideration of the flatness of the tapered steel plate. Further, it is preferable that the inclination of the change in the rolling load to the thin part / thick part or the thick part / thin part at the change point of the thickness is the same as the inclination of the change in the work roll bender load. In the range where the effect on accuracy is negligible, the error is acceptable.
As a result, the crown ratio is kept constant, and the flatness is maintained.

  FIG. 9 shows the result of applying the bender load setting method of the present invention to a monthly 3000 ton taper steel plate. The ratio for the cold leveler (C / L) was reduced by 2.5% from 23.2% to 20.7%.
