Definitions

  • This disclosure relates to apparatus for operating a steel mill, and proposes in particular to increase the cooling medium directed onto a strip of steel, as a function of the acceleration of the strip, and to reduce the flow of the cooling medium, as a function of heat loss resulting from the varying delays of portions of the strip, from the time the strip leaves the heating furnaces.
  • the present invention relates to a control system for reduction rolling of metal or other materials, and more particularly to the apparatus for cooling the rolled metal as a function of the cooling period and the rate of acceleration, to thereby more accurately determine the delivery temperature of the rolled product.
  • the delivery temperature of a hot rolled, metallic strip is a factor in the determination of the metallic quality of the finished strip product.
  • low carbon steel is generally characterized with its best range of metallurgical or other crystalline properties if it is rolled from a hot bar to a delivery temperature in the range of 1500 F. to 1600 F.
  • the particular delivery temperature or range of delivery temperatures of a rolled metal strip is set to optimize a particular property, or to optimize particular groups of properties.
  • delivery temperature it is meant to refer to the workpiece or strip temperature as it is delivered from the last hot working point, such as the last roll stand in a hot strip mill.
  • strip delivery temperature is a significant factor in quality control of the finished product, some degree of control over the delivery temperature of the strip is required to maintain the rolled product within an acceptable range of quality.
  • the delivery temperature is dependent upon the measurable or known temperature of the workpiece after the last heating process, and the delay period between the heating process and the last rolling operation.
  • the period of delay between the last heating operation and the last rolling operation is dependent upon the speed of transit between the furnaces in which the workpieces are heated, and the last rolling stand, and the rolling processes which have been carried out upon the workpiece.
  • the temperature and the metallurgical properties of the workpiece vary along the length of the strip or workpiece.
  • any nonunitormity of the properties and quality of a rolled strip is largely or substantially brought about because the strip delivery temperature drops from the leading to the trailing end. It may be understood that the workpiece is being continually lengthened as it is rolled, and that the leading edge of the strip will be processed at a point in time before the trailing edge, therefore accounting for a longer period in which the trailing edge may cool and thus be at a lower temperature.
  • the velocity of the mill would reach its top velocity of approximately 4000 ft./min., 133 seconds after the initiation of the acceleration of the strip.
  • a strip rolled in this manner would have to be approximately 7250 feet long to reach the top speed of the mill.
  • the limiting factor requiring lower or moderate rates of acceleration is that the temperature of the strip will begin to rise; more specifically, the temperature of the strip will begin to rise when the strip is accelerated greater than a rate of approximately 15 ft,/rnin./sec.,
  • Valves to control a cooling medium such as water onto the strip have been used in the prior art.
  • the leading edge of the strip is at a higher temperature than the trailing edge and it is necessary to compensate for the temperature decay of the hot strip on the entry side of the rolling mill.
  • the hot strip mills of the prior art have controlled, as by a valve, the flow of a cooling medium such as water, onto the strip by decreasing or throttling down the water flow as the temperature of the strip decreases.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a hot strip, rolling mill arranged and operated in accordance with the teachings of this invention
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a control circuit for controlling the flow of a cooling medium onto the workpiece processed by the rolling mill of FIG. 1 in accordance with the teachings of this invention.
  • FIGS. 3A, 3B and 3C show various curves illustrating the operating principles upon which this invention is based.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown an illustrative embodiment of a hot strip mill for successively reducing the thickness of a slab to form an extended web or strip 84.
  • a plurality of slabs are heated in preparation for being rolled in a plurality of furnaces 12.
  • the slabs are extracted from the furnaces 12 and are disposed upon a plurality of tables 14.
  • the tables 14, in turn, feed the slabs into a roughing mill 16.
  • the roughing mill 16 includes a plurality of tables 15 disposed between a plurality of stands RS-l to RS6 through which the slabs are transported for gauge reduction.
  • a greater or fewer number of rolling stands can be provided in the roughing mill 16 if desired.
  • the first roughing stands to operate upon the strip may be two high mills including work rolls 19, whereas the last mill stands to operate upon the strip 84 may be a four high stand including back up rolls for pressing the work rolls 19 against the workpiece.
  • a delay table 22 is disposed between the roughing mill 16 and a finishing mill 26 in order to allow the roughing mill 16 and the finishing mill 26 to be operated independently of each other. It may be understood that as the thickness of the strip 84 is reduced that the leading edge accelerates and is traveling at a higher velocity than the trailing edge. If the leading edge were to be fed into the finishing mill 26 before the trailing edge had left the roughing mill 16, it would be necessary to accurately con trol the velocity of the finishing mill 2'6 with respect to the velocity of the roughing stand RS-6 of the roughing mill 16. To avoid the use of expensive and complicated control circuitry, and in some cases, to control the metallurgical quality, the strip 84 is run out onto the delay table 22 before it is fed into the finishing mill 26. In order to receive the entire strip 84, the delay table 22 must be quite long, and it may require in the order of 20 to 100 seconds to allow the leading and trailing ends of the strip 84 to pass a single point on the table 22.
  • the time required to deliver the workpiece from the furnaces 12 where the slabs are heated until they pass from the delay table 22, allows the workpieces to be cooled by radiation and conduction.
  • the strip 84 is lengthened, and the leading portion is separated from the trailing I portion.
  • the leading portion of the strip 84 will be fed into the finishing mill 26 at a point in time significantly before the trailing edge, and as a result will be at a higher temperature than the trailing edge.
  • the period in which the strip 84 is transported by the delay table 22 allows the entire strip 84, and in particular, the trailing portions thereof to radiate heat and to fall to lower temperatures than the leading portions.
  • a suitable temperature detector 24 such as a pyrometer is disposed at a forward portion of the delay table 22 to measure the temperature of the strip 84 as it is being fed into the finishing mill 26.
  • the finishing mill 26 includes a plurality of finishing rolling stands FS1 to FS-7 for successively reducing the thickness of the strip 84.
  • a greater or a fewer number of rolling stands may be provided in the finishing mill 26.
  • a pair of work rolls 32 and a pair of backup rolls 34 are provided in a conventional manner.
  • Respective motor drives M1 to M7 are provided at the stand locations to drive the work rolls 32 and to transport the strip 84 through the finishing mill 26.
  • the gauge reduction produced by the various work rolls 32 is set by controlling the size of the respective work roll openings through the application of the well known roll force principle.
  • the drive motors M1-M7 may take the form of suitably rated DC motors.
  • Regulated power controlled by an associated regulator is applied to the motors M1M7 to provide speed and acceleration as described in the above-identified copending application, now Pat. No. 3,418,834.
  • a static thyristor power supply can be employed, and the average voltage applied to the armature of each DC motor can be regulated by thyristor firing angle control to vary the motor speed in response to detected speed error. Since it is desirable that each motor cover its speed range at rated armature voltage, shunt field excitation can be varied in each motor to hold counter EMF substantially constant at the rated value as motor speed varies.
  • respective field regulators can be employed to lower or raise motor field strength respectively in response to detected increases or decreases in counter EMF resulting from speed regulator control of armature voltage. Field strength changes resulting in further motor speed change and speed regulator control causes armature voltages to return to rated value.
  • the response of the field regulators is normally made long as compared to that of the speed regulators so that interaction is minimized for system stability.
  • the motor speed regulators are arranged in a conventional manner to control the motors as described.
  • Other motor drives or drive arrangements such as variable frequency AC drives or twin drives can be employed, and other motor speed regulators can be employed in accordance with the principles of the invention.
  • a crop shear 28 of a type Well known in the art is provided to trim the leading and trailing edges of the strip 84 so they do not damage the work rolls 32.
  • a plurality of cooling assemblies 40 are disposed between the finishing stands in order to direct a suitable cooling medium such as water onto the strip 84.
  • the cooling assemblies 40 include a plurality of conduits 42 to which are supplied the cooling medium, as will be explained later.
  • the conduits 42 have a plurality of nozzles 44 for directing the cooling medium onto the strip 84. It may be understood that the cooling assemblies 40 could also serve the function of directing the flow of water onto the strip 84 to remove or to descale the film that has built up on the strip 84.
  • the cooling of the strip 84 may be effected by directing the cooling medium onto the work rolls 32. This may be accomplished through the use of auxiliary conduits 48 which direct the cooling medium onto the rollers 32. It may be understood that I the rollers 32 absorb heat from the strip 84, which heat is in turn dissipated by directing the cooling medium onto the rollers 32.
  • a plurality of load cells 38 are associated with each of the finishing stands FS-l to FS-7 to detect the roll force applied to the strip 84.
  • stand gauge control is provided in response to a signal derived from the load cells 38 to control the pressure exerted upon the strip 84.
  • the strip 84 After the strip 84 has been passed through the finishing mill 26 it is wound onto a coiler 54 in a manner well known in the art.
  • suitable temperature detectors 50 and 52 shuch as pyrometers are disposed to detect the temperature of the strip 84 at selected points within the finishing mill 26.
  • a control system 56 for regulating the flow of the cooling medium from the cooling systems 40 and the auxiliary conduits 48 as a function of the delay time of a particular portion of the strip 84, and also as a function of the rate of acceleration of the strip 84 through the finishing mill 26.
  • the overall mill control preferably is provided by a process computer system 58 suitably designed and programmed to provide the degree of process control desired. That portion of the operation of the computer system 58 related to the control of the flow of cooling medium will be explained in particular.
  • a data input device 60 such as a commercially available card reader provides data relating to the dimensions and weight of each slab being processed by the mill into a storage facility within the computer system 58.
  • Input process variables to the computer system 58 may include the entry temperature of the strip 84 into the finishing mill 26 as derived from the temperature detector 24, and the temperature of various portions of the strip 84 as it is being processed upon by the finishing stands as supplied by the temperature detectors 50 and 52. Further, the position of the strip 84 may be detected by the load cells 38 and this information is fed into the computer system 58. As explained above, the leading portions of the strip 84 are at a higher temperature than the trailing portions due to the difference in delays encountered from the furnaces 12 to the finishing mill 26. Upon the basis of the dimensions of the individual slabs and the entry temperature of the strip, the computer system 58- will calculate the rate of temperature decrease for remaining portions of the strip 84.
  • An output signal will be derived from the computer system 58 and applied to a time taper control circuit 64.
  • the signal applied to the circuit 64 will be indicative of when the leading edge of the strip 84 is fed into the finishing mill 26 as Well as the rate of decrease of the temperature of the strip 84. It is noted that this information could be fed directly into the time taper control circuit 64 by an operator or that the temperature detector 24 could be applied directly to the time taper control circuit 64.
  • the time taper control circuit 64 functions to set the rate at which strip cooling water is decreased at a function of time to allow holding essentially a constant strip finishing temperature at a constant mill speed.
  • the computer system 58 controls the drive motors M1 to M7, and more particularly the acceleration of the drive motors M1 to M7 and therefore the strip 84 through the finishing mill 26.
  • the computer system 58 applies a signal to an acceleration taper control circuit 62 indicative of the rate of acceleration provided to the strip 84, and of the beginning and duration of the acceleration of the strip 84.
  • the acceleration taper control circuit 62 in turn provides a signal indicative, as by amplitude, of the rates of acceleration to a summing amplifier 66.
  • the accelleration taper control circuit 62 operates to increase the rate of the cooling medium as a function of the rate of acceleration of the strip 84 through the mill 26.
  • the time taper control circuit 64 likewise provides an input signal to the summing amplifier 66 indicative of the necessary compensation due to the temperature differences of various portions of the strip 84 as it enters the finishing mill 26. It is noted that provision may be made for allowing the operator to set the acceleration rate into the circuit 62.
  • the summing amplifier 66 sums the signals derived from the circuits 62 and 64, and applies a resultant output signal to a power supply 68. It is noted that there will be an acceleration rate every workpiece where the time taper rate will be equal and opposite to the acceleration taper rate.

  • the on-off valve 82 is operated to turn on the flow of the cooling medium, when the leading edge of the strip 84 reches the first of the cooling assemblies 40 and to turn off the flow of the cooling medium, when the trailing edge of the strip 84 passes the last assembly 40.
  • the taper valve 80 is not used to turn the system on or off.
  • the valve 80 is turned to its reset position to determine the initial flow of the cooling medium. It is noted that a single valve could perform the functions of the valves 80 and 82.
  • the position of the valve motor 70, and therefore, the degree of closure of the taper valve 80, is detected by a suitable position detector 72 such as a shaft encoder.
  • the detector 72 in turn provides a feedback signal to a reset position control circuit '74.
