Description

鋼板製造方法Steel plate manufacturing method
 本発明は、鋼板製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a steel plate manufacturing method.
例えば自動車及び産業機械等に使用される熱延鋼板は、一般に、粗圧延工程及び仕上圧延工程を経て製造される。図19は、従来の熱延鋼板の製造方法を模式的に示す図である。熱延鋼板の製造工程においては、先ず、所定の組成に調整した溶鋼を連続鋳造して得たスラブSを粗圧延機101により圧延した後、さらに複数の圧延スタンド102a~102dで構成される仕上圧延機103により熱間圧延して、所定の厚さの熱延鋼板Hを形成する。そして、この熱延鋼板Hは、冷却装置111から注水される冷却水によって冷却された後、巻取装置112によりコイル状に巻き取られる。 For example, hot-rolled steel sheets used for automobiles and industrial machines are generally manufactured through a rough rolling process and a finish rolling process. FIG. 19 is a diagram schematically showing a conventional method for producing a hot-rolled steel sheet. In the production process of a hot-rolled steel sheet, first, a slab S obtained by continuously casting a molten steel adjusted to a predetermined composition is rolled with a roughing mill 101, and then finished with a plurality of rolling stands 102a to 102d. Hot rolling is performed by the rolling mill 103 to form a hot-rolled steel sheet H having a predetermined thickness. And after this hot-rolled steel sheet H is cooled by the cooling water poured from the cooling device 111, it is wound up by the winding device 112 in a coil shape.
 冷却装置111は、一般に仕上圧延機103から搬送される熱延鋼板Hに対していわゆるラミナー冷却を施すための設備である。この冷却装置111は、ランナウトテーブル上を移動する熱延鋼板Hの上面に対して、垂直方向の上方から冷却ノズルを介して冷却水を噴流水として噴射すると共に、熱延鋼板Hの下面に対して、パイプラミナーを介して噴流水として冷却水を噴射することにより、熱延鋼板Hを冷却する。 The cooling device 111 is a facility for performing so-called laminar cooling on the hot-rolled steel sheet H that is generally conveyed from the finish rolling mill 103. The cooling device 111 injects cooling water as jet water from above in the vertical direction to the upper surface of the hot-rolled steel sheet H moving on the run-out table, and also to the lower surface of the hot-rolled steel sheet H. Then, the hot-rolled steel sheet H is cooled by injecting cooling water as jet water through the pipe laminator.
 そして、従来において、例えば特許文献1には、厚鋼板の上下面の表面温度差を低減させることにより、その鋼板の形状不良を防止する技術が開示されている。この特許文献1に開示された技術によれば、冷却装置による冷却時において鋼板の上面及び下面の表面温度を温度計で同時に測定して得られた表面温度差に基づいて、鋼板の上面と下面に供給する冷却水の水量比を調整する。 Conventionally, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for preventing a shape defect of a steel plate by reducing a difference in surface temperature between the upper and lower surfaces of the thick steel plate. According to the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, based on the surface temperature difference obtained by simultaneously measuring the surface temperature of the upper and lower surfaces of the steel sheet with a thermometer during cooling by the cooling device, the upper and lower surfaces of the steel sheet Adjust the ratio of the amount of cooling water supplied to the.
 また、例えば特許文献2には、圧延機の出口側に設置した急峻度計により、鋼板先端の急峻度を測定し、その測定した急峻度に応じて冷却水流量を幅方向に変えて調整することにより、鋼板の穴あきを防止する技術が開示されている。 Further, for example, in Patent Document 2, a steepness meter installed on the exit side of a rolling mill is used to measure the steepness of the steel sheet tip, and the cooling water flow rate is adjusted in the width direction according to the measured steepness. Thus, a technique for preventing perforation of a steel sheet is disclosed.
 さらに、例えば特許文献3には、熱延鋼板の板幅方向における波形状の板厚分布を解消し、板幅方向の板厚を均一化させることを目的とし、熱延鋼板の板幅方向における最高熱伝達率と最低熱伝達率との差が所定値の範囲に収まるように制御する技術が開示されている。 Furthermore, for example, in Patent Document 3, the object is to eliminate the wavy plate thickness distribution in the plate width direction of the hot-rolled steel plate, and to uniformize the plate thickness in the plate width direction, in the plate width direction of the hot-rolled steel plate. A technique for controlling the difference between the maximum heat transfer coefficient and the minimum heat transfer coefficient to fall within a predetermined value range is disclosed.

ここで、図19を用いて説明した従来の製造方法により製造される熱延鋼板Hは、例えば、図20に示すように、冷却装置111におけるランナウトテーブル(以降、「ROT」と記載する場合がある。)の搬送ロール120上で圧延方向(図20中の矢印方向)に波形状を生ずる場合がある。この場合、熱延鋼板Hの上面と下面の冷却にバラツキが生じてしまい、温度ムラが発生する。その結果、熱間圧延工程の後の鋼板冷却工程において、上記の温度ムラに起因して材質(すなわち、鋼板の硬度)のバラツキが生じる。さらに、後工程である冷間圧延工程において、上記の材質のバラツキに起因して鋼板の板厚変動が発生する。このような鋼板の板厚変動が所定の基準値を超えた場合、その鋼板は検査工程で不良品と判断されてしまうため、歩留まりの低下が顕著になるといった問題があった。 Here, the hot-rolled steel sheet H manufactured by the conventional manufacturing method described with reference to FIG. 19 is, for example, as shown in FIG. 20, a run-out table (hereinafter, referred to as “ROT”) in the cooling device 111. There is a case where a wave shape is generated in the rolling direction (the arrow direction in FIG. 20) on the transport roll 120. In this case, variation occurs in cooling of the upper surface and the lower surface of the hot-rolled steel sheet H, and temperature unevenness occurs. As a result, in the steel plate cooling step after the hot rolling step, the material (that is, the hardness of the steel plate) varies due to the temperature unevenness. Furthermore, in the cold rolling process, which is a subsequent process, a variation in the thickness of the steel sheet occurs due to the variation in the above materials. When the plate thickness variation of such a steel plate exceeds a predetermined reference value, the steel plate is judged as a defective product in the inspection process, and there is a problem that the yield is significantly reduced.
しかしながら、上記特許文献1の冷却方法は、熱延鋼板が圧延方向に波形状を有する場合を考慮していない。すなわち、特許文献1では、熱延鋼板の波の位置によって表面高さが異なるために、温度の標準偏差が圧延方向に異なることを考慮していない。したがって、特許文献1の冷却方法では、熱延鋼板に形成された波形状に起因して、熱延鋼板の冷却時に材質のバラツキが発生することについては考慮されていなかった。 However, the cooling method of Patent Document 1 does not consider the case where the hot-rolled steel sheet has a wave shape in the rolling direction. That is, in patent document 1, since surface height changes with the wave positions of a hot-rolled steel plate, it does not consider that the standard deviation of temperature differs in a rolling direction. Therefore, in the cooling method of patent document 1, it was not considered that the variation of a material generate | occur | produces at the time of cooling of a hot-rolled steel plate due to the wave shape formed in the hot-rolled steel plate.
 また、特許文献2の冷却方法では、鋼板の幅方向の急峻度を測定して、その急峻度の高い部分の冷却水流量を調整している。しかしながら、特許文献2においても、熱延鋼板が圧延方向に波形状を有する場合を考慮しておらず、上述したように、熱延鋼板に形成された波形状に起因して、熱延鋼板の冷却時に材質のバラツキが発生することについては考慮されていなかった。 Further, in the cooling method of Patent Document 2, the steepness in the width direction of the steel sheet is measured, and the cooling water flow rate in the portion having the high steepness is adjusted. However, even in Patent Document 2, the case where the hot-rolled steel sheet has a wave shape in the rolling direction is not considered, and as described above, due to the wave shape formed in the hot-rolled steel sheet, It has not been taken into consideration that the material varies during cooling.
 また、特許文献3の冷却は、仕上圧延機ロールバイトの直前における熱延鋼板の冷却であるため、仕上圧延されて所定の厚みになった熱延鋼板に適用できない。さらに、特許文献3においても、熱延鋼板の圧延方向に波形状が形成される場合を考慮しておらず、上述したように、熱延鋼板に形成された波形状に起因して、冷却時に材質のバラツキが発生することについては考慮されていなかった。 Further, since the cooling of Patent Document 3 is the cooling of a hot-rolled steel sheet immediately before a finish rolling mill roll bite, it cannot be applied to a hot-rolled steel sheet having a predetermined thickness after finish rolling. Furthermore, Patent Document 3 does not consider the case where the corrugation is formed in the rolling direction of the hot-rolled steel sheet, and as described above, due to the corrugation formed on the hot-rolled steel sheet, The occurrence of material variations was not taken into account.
 本発明は、上述した問題点に鑑みてなされたものであり、少なくとも熱間圧延工程及び冷却工程を経て製造される鋼板の歩留まり向上を実現可能な鋼板製造方法を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a steel sheet manufacturing method capable of improving the yield of a steel sheet manufactured through at least a hot rolling process and a cooling process.

The inventor of the present application conducted an extensive investigation on the relationship between the wave shape formed on the hot-rolled steel sheet obtained from the hot rolling process and the temperature standard deviation during or after cooling the hot-rolled steel sheet. It has been found that when the wave shape is controlled to an ear wave shape, the temperature standard deviation of the hot-rolled steel sheet can be controlled to an arbitrary value according to the steepness of the ear wave shape.
That is, according to the present invention, in the hot rolling process, the experimentally obtained in advance the steepness of the ear wave shape of the hot-rolled steel sheet and the temperature standard deviation Y during or after cooling of the hot-rolled steel sheet. Based on the first correlation data indicating the correlation, the target steepness of the ear wave shape is set, and finish rolling is performed so that the steepness of the ear wave shape formed on the hot-rolled steel sheet matches the target steepness. By controlling the machine, the temperature standard deviation of the hot-rolled steel sheet after cooling can be kept small (the hot-rolled steel sheet can be uniformly cooled).
As a result, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of material variations in the hot-rolled steel sheet after cooling, so that the yield can be improved by suppressing fluctuations in the thickness of the steel sheet finally obtained through the cold rolling process, which is a subsequent process. Can be realized.

 以下、本発明の一実施形態として、例えば自動車及び産業機械等に使用される鋼板の鋼板製造方法について、図面を参照しながら詳細に説明する。 Hereinafter, as an embodiment of the present invention, a steel plate manufacturing method of a steel plate used in, for example, automobiles and industrial machines will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
 図1は、本実施形態における鋼板製造方法を実現するための熱間圧延設備1の例を模式的に示している。この熱間圧延設備1は、加熱したスラブSをロールで上下に挟んで連続的に圧延することで、最小1.2mmの板厚を有する鋼板(後述の熱延鋼板H)を製造し、この鋼板を巻き取ることを目的とした設備である。
この熱間圧延設備1は、スラブSを加熱するための加熱炉11と、この加熱炉11において加熱されたスラブSを幅方向に圧延する幅方向圧延機16と、この幅方向に圧延されたスラブSを上下方向から圧延して粗バーBrにする粗圧延機12と、粗バーBrを連続して熱間仕上圧延することで、所定の板厚を有する鋼板(以下、熱延鋼板と称す)Hを形成する仕上圧延機13と、この仕上圧延機13から搬送される熱延鋼板Hを冷却水により冷却する冷却装置14と、冷却装置14により冷却された熱延鋼板Hをコイル状に巻き取る巻取装置15とを備えている。
FIG. 1 schematically shows an example of a hot rolling facility 1 for realizing the steel sheet manufacturing method in the present embodiment. This hot rolling facility 1 manufactures a steel plate (hot rolled steel plate H described later) having a minimum thickness of 1.2 mm by continuously rolling the heated slab S sandwiched between rolls, It is equipment intended to wind up steel plates.
This hot rolling equipment 1 is rolled in the width direction, a heating furnace 11 for heating the slab S, a width-direction rolling mill 16 that rolls the slab S heated in the heating furnace 11 in the width direction, and the width direction. A roughing mill 12 that rolls the slab S from above and below to form a rough bar Br, and a steel plate having a predetermined thickness (hereinafter referred to as a hot-rolled steel plate) by continuously hot-rolling the rough bar Br. ) Finish rolling mill 13 for forming H, cooling device 14 for cooling hot-rolled steel sheet H conveyed from finishing mill 13 with cooling water, and hot-rolled steel sheet H cooled by cooling device 14 in a coil shape And a winding device 15 for winding.
 加熱炉11には、装入口を介して外部から搬入されてきたスラブSに対して、火炎を吹き出すことによりスラブSを加熱するサイドバーナ、軸流バーナ、ルーフバーナが配設されている。加熱炉11に搬入されたスラブSは、各ゾーンにおいて形成される各加熱帯において順次加熱され、さらに最終ゾーンにおいて形成される均熱帯において、ルーフバーナを利用してスラブSを均等加熱することにより、最適温度で搬送できるようにするための保熱処理を行う。加熱炉11における加熱処理が全て終了すると、スラブSは加熱炉11外へと搬送され、粗圧延機12による圧延工程へと移行することになる。 The heating furnace 11 is provided with a side burner, an axial flow burner, and a roof burner for heating the slab S by blowing out flames to the slab S carried in from the outside through the loading port. The slab S carried into the heating furnace 11 is sequentially heated in each heating zone formed in each zone, and further in the soaking zone formed in the final zone, the slab S is evenly heated using a roof burner, A coercive heat treatment is performed to enable conveyance at the optimum temperature. When all the heat treatments in the heating furnace 11 are completed, the slab S is transferred to the outside of the heating furnace 11 and moves to a rolling process by the roughing mill 12.
 粗圧延機12は、搬送されてきたスラブSにつき、複数スタンドに亘って配設される円柱状の回転ロールの間隙を通過させる。例えば、この粗圧延機12は、第1スタンドにおいて上下に配設されたワークロール12aのみによりスラブSを熱間圧延して粗バーBrを形成する。次に、この第1スタンドを通過した粗バーBrをワークロールとバックアップロールとにより構成される複数の4重圧延機12bによりさらに連続的に圧延する。その結果、この粗圧延工程の終了時に、粗バーBrは、厚さ30~60mm程度まで圧延され、仕上圧延機13へと搬送されることになる。 The rough rolling mill 12 allows the slab S that has been conveyed to pass through a gap between cylindrical rotary rolls that are disposed across a plurality of stands. For example, the roughing mill 12 hot-rolls the slab S only with the work rolls 12a disposed up and down in the first stand to form the rough bar Br. Next, the rough bar Br that has passed through the first stand is further continuously rolled by a plurality of quadruple rolling mills 12b configured by work rolls and backup rolls. As a result, at the end of this rough rolling step, the rough bar Br is rolled to a thickness of about 30 to 60 mm and conveyed to the finishing mill 13.
 仕上圧延機13は、粗圧延機12から搬送されてきた粗バーBrを、その厚さが数mm程度になるまで熱間仕上げ圧延する。これら仕上圧延機13は、6~7スタンドに亘って上下一直線に並べられた仕上げ圧延ロール13aの間隙に粗バーBrを通過させ、これを徐々に圧下していくことにより、所定の板厚を有する熱延鋼板Hを形成する。この仕上圧延機13によって形成された熱延鋼板Hは、後述する搬送ロール32によって冷却装置14へ搬送される。なお、この仕上圧延機13によって熱延鋼板Hの圧延方向に耳波形状が形成される。 The finishing mill 13 hot finish-rolls the rough bar Br conveyed from the roughing mill 12 until its thickness reaches about several mm. These finishing mills 13 allow the rough bar Br to pass through the gap between the finish rolling rolls 13a arranged in a straight line over 6 to 7 stands, and gradually reduce this to obtain a predetermined plate thickness. The hot-rolled steel sheet H is formed. The hot-rolled steel sheet H formed by the finish rolling mill 13 is conveyed to the cooling device 14 by a conveyance roll 32 described later. The finish rolling mill 13 forms an ear wave shape in the rolling direction of the hot-rolled steel sheet H.
 冷却装置14は、仕上圧延機13から搬送される熱延鋼板Hに対してラミナーやスプレーによる冷却を施すための設備である。この冷却装置14は、図2に示すように、ランナウトテーブルの搬送ロール32上を移動する熱延鋼板Hの上面に対して、上側の冷却口31から冷却水を噴射する上側冷却装置14aと、熱延鋼板Hの下面に対して、下側の冷却口31から冷却水を噴射する下側冷却装置14bとを備えている。冷却口31は、上側冷却装置14a及び下側冷却装置14bのそれぞれについて複数個設けられている。
また、冷却口31には、冷却ヘッダー(図示省略)が接続されている。この冷却口31の個数によって、上側冷却装置14a及び下側冷却装置14bの冷却能力が決定される。なお、この冷却装置14は、上下スプリットラミナー、パイプラミナー、スプレー冷却等の少なくとも一つで構成されていてもよい。また、この冷却装置14によって熱延鋼板Hが冷却される区間が、本発明における冷却区間に相当する。
The cooling device 14 is a facility for cooling the hot-rolled steel sheet H conveyed from the finish rolling mill 13 with a laminator or a spray. As shown in FIG. 2, the cooling device 14 has an upper cooling device 14 a that jets cooling water from the upper cooling port 31 to the upper surface of the hot-rolled steel sheet H that moves on the transport roll 32 of the run-out table, The lower side cooling device 14b which injects a cooling water from the lower side cooling port 31 with respect to the lower surface of the hot-rolled steel plate H is provided. A plurality of cooling ports 31 are provided for each of the upper cooling device 14a and the lower cooling device 14b.
A cooling header (not shown) is connected to the cooling port 31. The cooling capacity of the upper cooling device 14a and the lower cooling device 14b is determined by the number of the cooling ports 31. The cooling device 14 may be composed of at least one of an upper / lower split laminar, a pipe laminar, spray cooling, and the like. Further, a section in which the hot-rolled steel sheet H is cooled by the cooling device 14 corresponds to a cooling section in the present invention.
 巻取装置15は、図1に示すように、冷却装置14から搬送される冷却後の熱延鋼板Hを所定の巻取温度で巻き取る。巻取装置15によりコイル状に巻き取られた熱延鋼板Hは、不図示の冷間圧延設備に送られて冷間圧延され、最終的な製品としての仕様を満たす鋼板に調製される。 As shown in FIG. 1, the winding device 15 winds the cooled hot-rolled steel sheet H conveyed from the cooling device 14 at a predetermined winding temperature. The hot-rolled steel sheet H wound in a coil shape by the winding device 15 is sent to a cold rolling facility (not shown) and cold-rolled to prepare a steel sheet that satisfies the specifications as a final product.
 以上のように構成された熱間圧延設備1の冷却装置14において、圧延方向に表面高さ(波高さ)が変動する波形状が形成されている熱延鋼板Hの冷却が行われる場合に、上述したように、上側冷却装置14aから噴射される冷却水と、下側冷却装置14bから噴射される冷却水の水量密度、圧力、水温等を好適に調整することで熱延鋼板Hの均一な冷却が行われる。しかしながら、特に通板速度が遅い場合には、熱延鋼板Hと搬送ロール32とが局所的に接触する時間が長くなり、熱延鋼板Hの搬送ロール32との接触部分が接触抜熱により冷却され易くなることから、冷却が不均一となってしまう。 In the cooling device 14 of the hot rolling facility 1 configured as described above, when the hot-rolled steel sheet H in which a corrugated shape whose surface height (wave height) fluctuates in the rolling direction is formed is performed, As described above, the hot-rolled steel sheet H can be made uniform by suitably adjusting the water volume density, pressure, water temperature, etc. of the cooling water injected from the upper cooling device 14a and the cooling water injected from the lower cooling device 14b. Cooling takes place. However, especially when the sheet passing speed is slow, the time for which the hot-rolled steel sheet H and the transport roll 32 are in local contact with each other becomes longer, and the contact portion of the hot-rolled steel sheet H with the transport roll 32 is cooled by contact heat removal. Since it becomes easy to be done, cooling will become non-uniform | heterogenous.
 図3に示すように、熱延鋼板Hが波形状を有する場合、その熱延鋼板Hは、波形状の底部において搬送ロール32と局所的に接触する場合がある。このように、熱延鋼板Hにおいて、搬送ロール32と局所的に接触する部分は、接触抜熱によって他の部分よりも冷却され易くなる。このため、熱延鋼板Hが不均一に冷却される。 As shown in FIG. 3, when the hot-rolled steel sheet H has a corrugated shape, the hot-rolled steel sheet H may locally contact the transport roll 32 at the bottom of the corrugated shape. As described above, in the hot-rolled steel sheet H, the part that is locally in contact with the transport roll 32 is more easily cooled than the other part by contact heat removal. For this reason, the hot-rolled steel sheet H is cooled unevenly.
 一方、上述したように、熱間圧延設備1において、熱延鋼板Hに波形状が形成されていることに起因して、熱延鋼板Hの冷却が均一に行われない場合、冷却後の熱延鋼板Hの材質(硬度等)にバラツキが生じる。その結果、冷間圧延設備によって熱延鋼板Hを冷間圧延すると、最終的に製品として得られる鋼板(製品鋼板)に板厚変動が発生する。この製品鋼板の板厚変動は、歩留まり低下の要因となることから、検査工程で不良品と判断されないレベルにまで抑える必要がある。そこで、本願発明者らは、熱延鋼板Hに形成される波形状と後工程(冷間圧延工程)における板厚変動との関係を調べるため、以下に説明する検証を行った。 On the other hand, as described above, in the hot rolling facility 1, when the hot-rolled steel sheet H is not uniformly cooled due to the wave shape being formed in the hot-rolled steel sheet H, the heat after cooling is reduced. The material (hardness etc.) of the rolled steel sheet H varies. As a result, when the hot-rolled steel sheet H is cold-rolled by the cold rolling equipment, a plate thickness variation occurs in the steel sheet (product steel sheet) finally obtained as a product. Since the plate thickness fluctuation of the product steel plate causes a decrease in yield, it is necessary to suppress it to a level at which it is not determined as a defective product in the inspection process. Therefore, the inventors of the present application conducted verification described below in order to examine the relationship between the wave shape formed in the hot-rolled steel sheet H and the thickness variation in the subsequent process (cold rolling process).
 図4は、熱延鋼板Hに急峻度1%の中波形状が形成された場合と、急峻度1%の耳波形状が形成された場合の、熱延鋼板Hの各箇所における温度変動を示すグラフである。また、図5は、熱延鋼板Hに急峻度1%の中波形状が形成された場合と、急峻度1%の耳波形状が形成された場合とのそれぞれについての、冷間圧延工程における冷延ゲージ変動(板厚変動)を示すグラフである。なお、WS(ワークサイド)、DS(ドライブサイド)とは、熱延鋼板Hの一方の幅方向端部(WS)及び他方の幅方向端部(DS)を指すものである。 FIG. 4 shows temperature fluctuations at various points of the hot-rolled steel sheet H when the hot-rolled steel sheet H has a medium-wave shape with a steepness of 1% and when an oto-wave shape with a steepness of 1% is formed. It is a graph to show. FIG. 5 shows a cold rolling process for each of a case where a medium wave shape having a steepness of 1% is formed on the hot-rolled steel sheet H and a case where an ear wave shape having a steepness of 1% is formed. It is a graph which shows cold-rolling gauge fluctuation | variation (plate thickness fluctuation | variation). In addition, WS (work side) and DS (drive side) refer to one width direction end (WS) and the other width direction end (DS) of the hot-rolled steel sheet H.
 図4及び図5に示すように、熱間圧延設備1での冷却時の熱延鋼板Hの波形状を耳波形状とした方が、中波形状とした場合に比べて、板幅センター(C)及び幅平均の温度変動が抑制され、冷間圧延工程での板厚変動が抑えられている(図5に示すように、中波形状に比べて、耳波形状の方が約30%の板厚変動の抑制効果を得られる)ことがわかる。
これは、中波形状は、鋼板センター部で対称な形状となり、幅方向に一様な変位となるため、通板方向(圧延方向)に不均一な冷却偏差を生じやすいが、耳波形状は、一方のエッジ波(例えばWSの波形状)の影響が他方のエッジ波(例えばDSの波形状)に影響を及ぼす反対称の形状となることが原因である。
即ち、熱延鋼板Hの波形状が耳波形状の場合、熱延鋼板HのDSの波形状は、WSの波形状に対して、180度位相がずれているため、その位相のずれた波形状に対応した冷却偏差がそれぞれ生じており、板幅方向の温度平均を取ると、通板方向の温度標準偏差が小さくなる。
従って、熱延鋼板Hの波形状が耳波形状の場合、熱間圧延設備1において、冷間圧延工程での板厚変動に影響しない程度の実質的に均一な冷却が行われ、最終的に得られる製品鋼板の歩留まりを向上することができる。
As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the plate width center (when the wave shape of the hot-rolled steel sheet H at the time of cooling in the hot rolling facility 1 is an oto-wave shape is greater than the case where the wave shape is an intermediate wave shape ( C) and width average temperature fluctuations are suppressed, and sheet thickness fluctuations in the cold rolling process are suppressed (as shown in FIG. 5, the ear wave shape is about 30% of the medium wave shape. It can be seen that the effect of suppressing fluctuations in sheet thickness can be obtained.
This is because the middle wave shape is symmetrical at the center of the steel plate and is uniformly displaced in the width direction, so it is easy to cause uneven cooling deviation in the sheet passing direction (rolling direction). This is because the influence of one edge wave (for example, the wave shape of WS) becomes an antisymmetric shape that affects the other edge wave (for example, the wave shape of DS).
That is, when the wave shape of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is an ear wave shape, the DS wave shape of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is 180 degrees out of phase with respect to the WS wave shape. Cooling deviations corresponding to the shapes are generated, and the temperature standard deviation in the sheet passing direction becomes small when the temperature average in the sheet width direction is taken.
Therefore, when the wave shape of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is an ear-wave shape, the hot rolling facility 1 performs substantially uniform cooling that does not affect the thickness variation in the cold rolling process, and finally The yield of the product steel plate obtained can be improved.
さらに、本願発明者は、熱延鋼板Hに形成される耳波形状の急峻度と、冷却後の熱延鋼板Hの圧延方向の温度標準偏差Yとの相関関係を調査したところ、図12に示すように、急峻度と温度標準偏差Yがほぼ比例関係になるという調査結果を得た。なお、図12は、通板速度と後述の上下熱伝達係数比率Xとを一定値とする条件下で求めた、急峻度と温度標準偏差Yとの相関関係を示すデータである。 Furthermore, when this inventor investigated the correlation with the steepness of the ear wave shape formed in the hot-rolled steel sheet H and the temperature standard deviation Y in the rolling direction of the hot-rolled steel sheet H after cooling, FIG. As shown, an investigation result was obtained that the steepness and the temperature standard deviation Y are in a substantially proportional relationship. FIG. 12 is data showing the correlation between the steepness and the temperature standard deviation Y, obtained under the condition that the plate passing speed and the below-described upper and lower heat transfer coefficient ratio X are constant values.
図4、図5及び図12に示す調査結果は、熱延鋼板Hの波形状を耳波形状に制御すると、その耳波形状の急峻度に応じて冷却後の熱延鋼板Hの温度標準偏差Yを任意の値に制御できることを示唆している。
つまり、図12に示す急峻度と温度標準偏差Yとの相関関係に基づき、実操業時に要求される温度標準偏差Y(冷間圧延工程での板厚変動を許容レベル内に抑えられる温度標準偏差Y)を実現できる急峻度を求め、その急峻度を目標急峻度として設定し、熱延鋼板Hに形成される耳波形状の急峻度が上記の目標急峻度と一致するように仕上圧延機13の運転パラメータを制御することにより、本発明の目的である、最終的に得られる製品鋼板の歩留まり向上を実現できる。
The investigation results shown in FIGS. 4, 5, and 12 show that when the wave shape of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is controlled to be an ear wave shape, the temperature standard deviation of the hot-rolled steel sheet H after cooling is controlled according to the steepness of the ear wave shape. This suggests that Y can be controlled to an arbitrary value.
That is, based on the correlation between the steepness and the temperature standard deviation Y shown in FIG. 12, the temperature standard deviation Y required during actual operation (the temperature standard deviation that can suppress the thickness variation in the cold rolling process within an allowable level). Y) is obtained, and the steepness is set as the target steepness, and the finish rolling mill 13 is set so that the steepness of the ear wave shape formed on the hot-rolled steel sheet H matches the target steepness. By controlling the operating parameters, it is possible to realize the yield improvement of the finally obtained product steel plate, which is the object of the present invention.
以下では、上記知見に基づいて、本実施形態の鋼板製造方法について説明する。本実施形態の鋼板製造方法は、鋼材(粗バーBr)を仕上圧延機13で熱間圧延することにより、圧延方向に周期的に波高さが変動する耳波形状が形成された熱延鋼板Hを得る熱間圧延工程と、熱間圧延工程から得られる熱延鋼板Hを、その通板経路上に設けられた冷却区間(つまり冷却装置14)において冷却する冷却工程と、を備えている。 Below, based on the said knowledge, the steel plate manufacturing method of this embodiment is demonstrated. In the steel sheet manufacturing method of the present embodiment, a hot rolled steel sheet H in which an ear wave shape whose wave height fluctuates periodically in the rolling direction is formed by hot rolling a steel material (coarse bar Br) with a finish mill 13. And a cooling step of cooling the hot-rolled steel sheet H obtained from the hot rolling step in a cooling section (that is, the cooling device 14) provided on the plate passage.
 ここで、熱間圧延工程は、予め実験的に求めておいた、熱延鋼板Hの急峻度と冷却後(冷却中でも良い)の熱延鋼板Hの温度標準偏差Yとの相関関係(図12参照)を示す第1の相関データに基づいて、耳波形状の目標急峻度を設定する目標急峻度設定工程と、耳波形状の急峻度が上記の目標急峻度に一致するように、仕上圧延機13の運転パラメータを制御する形状制御工程と、を含んでいる。 Here, in the hot rolling process, a correlation between the steepness of the hot-rolled steel sheet H and the temperature standard deviation Y of the hot-rolled steel sheet H after cooling (or during cooling), which has been experimentally obtained in advance (FIG. 12). A target steepness setting step for setting the target steepness of the ear wave shape based on the first correlation data indicating the reference), and finish rolling so that the steepness of the earwave shape matches the target steepness And a shape control step for controlling the operation parameters of the machine 13.
目標急峻度設定工程では、上記の第1の相関データに基づいて、実操業時に要求される温度標準偏差Y(冷間圧延工程での板厚変動を許容レベル内に抑えられる温度標準偏差Y)を実現できる急峻度を求め、その急峻度を目標急峻度として設定する。例えば、図12を参照すると、実操業時に要求される温度標準偏差Yが10℃であった場合、目標急峻度は0.5%に設定される。 In the target steepness setting step, based on the first correlation data, the temperature standard deviation Y required during actual operation (temperature standard deviation Y that can suppress the plate thickness variation in the cold rolling step within an allowable level) Is obtained, and the steepness is set as the target steepness. For example, referring to FIG. 12, when the temperature standard deviation Y required during actual operation is 10 ° C., the target steepness is set to 0.5%.
形状制御工程では、熱延鋼板Hに形成される耳波形状の急峻度が目標急峻度(例えば0.5%)と一致するように、仕上圧延機13の運転パラメータを制御する。仕上圧延機13の運転パラメータとして、通板速度、加熱温度、押圧力などが挙げられる。従って、これらの運転パラメータの値を調整することにより、熱延鋼板Hに形成される耳波形状の急峻度を目標急峻度に一致させることができる。
具体的には、仕上圧延機13の出口側に、熱延鋼板Hの表面(上面)との距離を測定する距離計を設置しておけば、その距離計から得られる距離測定結果に基づいて、熱延鋼板Hの耳形状の急峻度をリアルタイムで算出することができる。そして、その急峻度の算出結果が目標急峻度と一致するように、仕上圧延機13の運転パラメータをフィードバック制御すれば良い。急峻度の算出及びフィードバック制御には、一般的なマイクロコンピュータ等を備えたコントローラーを使用することができる。
In the shape control step, the operating parameters of the finishing mill 13 are controlled so that the steepness of the ear wave shape formed on the hot-rolled steel sheet H matches the target steepness (for example, 0.5%). As operation parameters of the finishing mill 13, there are a sheet feeding speed, a heating temperature, a pressing force, and the like. Therefore, by adjusting the values of these operating parameters, the steepness of the ear wave shape formed in the hot-rolled steel sheet H can be matched with the target steepness.
Specifically, if a distance meter that measures the distance from the surface (upper surface) of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is installed on the exit side of the finish rolling mill 13, based on the distance measurement result obtained from the distance meter. The steepness of the ear shape of the hot-rolled steel sheet H can be calculated in real time. Then, the operation parameters of the finishing mill 13 may be feedback controlled so that the calculation result of the steepness matches the target steepness. A controller equipped with a general microcomputer or the like can be used for the calculation of the steepness and the feedback control.
 なお、図4及び図5に示す調査結果からわかるように、上記の目標急峻度設定工程では、目標急峻度を0%超1%以内に設定することが好ましい。これにより、冷却後の熱延鋼板Hの温度標準偏差Yが約18℃以下(図12参照)に抑えられ、冷間圧延工程での製品鋼板の板厚変動を大きく抑えることができる。
 さらに、熱延鋼板Hの温度標準偏差Yを可能な限り抑えるには、上記の目標急峻度設定工程において、目標急峻度を0%超0.5%以内に設定することがより好ましい。これによれば、熱延鋼板Hの温度標準偏差Yを約10℃以下に抑えることができる(図12参照)。
 以上のように、本実施形態の鋼板製造方法によれば、少なくとも熱間圧延工程及び冷却工程を経て製造される鋼板の歩留まり向上を実現することが可能となる。
As can be seen from the investigation results shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, in the target steepness setting step, it is preferable to set the target steepness within 0% and within 1%. Thereby, the temperature standard deviation Y of the hot-rolled steel sheet H after cooling is suppressed to about 18 ° C. or less (see FIG. 12), and the thickness variation of the product steel sheet in the cold rolling process can be greatly suppressed.
Furthermore, in order to suppress the temperature standard deviation Y of the hot-rolled steel sheet H as much as possible, it is more preferable to set the target steepness within 0% to within 0.5% in the target steepness setting step. According to this, the temperature standard deviation Y of the hot-rolled steel sheet H can be suppressed to about 10 ° C. or less (see FIG. 12).
As described above, according to the steel sheet manufacturing method of the present embodiment, it is possible to achieve an improvement in the yield of steel sheets manufactured through at least a hot rolling process and a cooling process.
 さらに、冷却後の熱延鋼板Hの温度標準偏差Yをより低減させるために、上述した本実施形態の冷却工程に、目標比率設定工程と、冷却制御工程との2つの工程が含まれていることが好ましい。
詳細は後述するが、目標比率設定工程では、予め実験的に熱延鋼板Hの急峻度及び通板速度を一定値とする条件下で求めておいた、熱延鋼板Hの上下面の熱伝達係数の比率である上下熱伝達係数比率Xと冷却中または冷却後の熱延鋼板Hの温度標準偏差Yとの相関関係を示す第2の相関データに基づいて、温度標準偏差Yが最小値Yminとなる上下熱伝達係数比率X1を目標比率Xtとして設定する。
また、冷却制御工程では、冷却区間(冷却装置14によって熱延鋼板Hが冷却される区間)における熱延鋼板Hの上下熱伝達係数比率Xが上記の目標比率Xtと一致するように、冷却区間における熱延鋼板Hの上面冷却抜熱量と下面冷却抜熱量との少なくとも一方を制御する。
Furthermore, in order to further reduce the temperature standard deviation Y of the hot-rolled steel sheet H after cooling, the cooling process of the present embodiment described above includes two processes, a target ratio setting process and a cooling control process. It is preferable.
Although details will be described later, in the target ratio setting step, heat transfer between the upper and lower surfaces of the hot-rolled steel sheet H, which has been experimentally determined in advance under the condition that the steepness of the hot-rolled steel sheet H and the sheet passing speed are constant values. Based on the second correlation data showing the correlation between the vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X, which is the ratio of the coefficients, and the temperature standard deviation Y of the hot-rolled steel sheet H during or after cooling, the temperature standard deviation Y is the minimum value Ymin. The vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X1 is set as the target ratio Xt.
Further, in the cooling control step, the cooling section is set such that the vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X of the hot rolled steel sheet H in the cooling section (the section in which the hot rolled steel sheet H is cooled by the cooling device 14) matches the target ratio Xt. At least one of the upper surface cooling heat removal amount and the lower surface cooling heat removal amount of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is controlled.
 上記の目標比率設定工程で用いる第2の相関データは、実操業前(実際に熱延鋼板Hを製造する前)に、熱間圧延設備1を利用して、予め実験的に求めておく。以下では、目標比率設定工程で用いる第2の相関データの求め方について詳細に説明する。
 先ず、冷却装置14で熱延鋼板Hを冷却する前に、予め冷却装置14の上側冷却装置14aの冷却能力(上側冷却能力)と下側冷却装置14bの冷却能力(下側冷却能力)をそれぞれ調整する。これら上側冷却能力と下側冷却能力は、それぞれ上側冷却装置14aによって冷却される熱延鋼板Hの上面の熱伝達係数と、下側冷却装置14bによって冷却される熱延鋼板Hの下面の熱伝達係数とを用いて調整する。
The second correlation data used in the target ratio setting step is experimentally obtained in advance using the hot rolling facility 1 before actual operation (before actually manufacturing the hot-rolled steel sheet H). Hereinafter, a method for obtaining the second correlation data used in the target ratio setting step will be described in detail.
First, before cooling the hot-rolled steel sheet H with the cooling device 14, the cooling capacity (upper cooling capacity) of the upper cooling device 14a of the cooling apparatus 14 and the cooling capacity (lower cooling capacity) of the lower cooling device 14b are previously set. adjust. The upper cooling capacity and the lower cooling capacity are respectively the heat transfer coefficient of the upper surface of the hot rolled steel sheet H cooled by the upper cooling device 14a and the heat transfer of the lower surface of the hot rolled steel sheet H cooled by the lower cooling device 14b. Adjust using the coefficient.
 ここで、熱延鋼板Hの上面と下面の熱伝達係数の算出方法について説明する。熱伝達係数は、単位面積からの単位時間当たりの冷却抜熱量(熱エネルギー)を、被熱伝達体と熱媒体との温度差で除した値である(熱伝達係数=冷却抜熱量/温度差)。ここでの温度差は、冷却装置14の入口側の温度計によって測定される熱延鋼板Hの温度と、冷却装置14で用いられる冷却水の温度との差である。
また、冷却抜熱量は、熱延鋼板Hの温度差と比熱と質量をそれぞれ乗じた値である(冷却抜熱量=温度差×比熱×質量)。すなわち、冷却抜熱量は冷却装置14における熱延鋼板Hの冷却抜熱量であって、冷却装置14の入口側の温度計と出口側の温度計によってそれぞれ測定される熱延鋼板Hの温度の差と、熱延鋼板Hの比熱と、冷却装置14で冷却される熱延鋼板Hの質量とをそれぞれ乗じた値である。
Here, the calculation method of the heat transfer coefficient of the upper surface and the lower surface of the hot-rolled steel sheet H will be described. The heat transfer coefficient is a value obtained by dividing the amount of heat removed from cooling (heat energy) per unit time from the unit area by the temperature difference between the heat transfer medium and the heat medium (heat transfer coefficient = cooled heat removal / temperature difference). ). The temperature difference here is a difference between the temperature of the hot-rolled steel sheet H measured by the thermometer on the inlet side of the cooling device 14 and the temperature of the cooling water used in the cooling device 14.
The cooling heat removal amount is a value obtained by multiplying the temperature difference, specific heat, and mass of the hot-rolled steel sheet H (cooling heat removal amount = temperature difference × specific heat × mass). That is, the amount of heat removed from cooling is the amount of heat removed from the hot-rolled steel sheet H in the cooling device 14, and the difference in temperature between the hot-rolled steel plates H measured by the thermometer on the inlet side and the thermometer on the outlet side of the cooling device 14. And the specific heat of the hot-rolled steel sheet H and the mass of the hot-rolled steel sheet H cooled by the cooling device 14, respectively.
 上述のように算出された熱延鋼板Hの熱伝達係数は、熱延鋼板Hの上面と下面の熱伝達係数に分けられる。これら上面と下面の熱伝達係数は、例えば次のようにして予め得られる比率を用いて算出される。
すなわち、上側冷却装置14aのみで熱延鋼板Hを冷却する場合の熱延鋼板Hの熱伝達係数と、下側冷却装置14bのみで熱延鋼板Hを冷却する場合の熱延鋼板Hの熱伝達係数を測定する。
このとき、上側冷却装置14aからの冷却水量と下側冷却装置14bからの冷却水量を同一とする。測定された上側冷却装置14aを用いた場合の熱伝達係数と下側冷却装置14bを用いた場合の熱伝達係数との比率の逆数が、後述の上下熱伝達係数比率Xを“1”とする場合の上側冷却装置14aの冷却水量と下側冷却装置14bの冷却水量との上下比率となる。
そして、このようにして得られた冷却水量の上下比率を、熱延鋼板Hを冷却する際の上側冷却装置14aの冷却水量又は下側冷却装置14bの冷却水量に乗じて、上述した熱延鋼板Hの上面と下面の熱伝達係数の比率(上下熱伝達係数比率X)を算出する。
また、上述では、上側冷却装置14aのみと下側冷却装置14bのみで冷却される熱延鋼板Hの熱伝達係数を用いたが、上側冷却装置14aと下側冷却装置14bの両方で冷却される熱延鋼板Hの熱伝達係数を用いてもよい。すなわち、上側冷却装置14aと下側冷却装置14bの冷却水量を変更した場合の熱延鋼板Hの熱伝達係数を測定し、その熱伝達係数の比率を用いて熱延鋼板Hの上面と下面の熱伝達係数の比率を算出してもよい。
The heat transfer coefficient of the hot-rolled steel sheet H calculated as described above is divided into the heat transfer coefficients of the upper surface and the lower surface of the hot-rolled steel sheet H. These heat transfer coefficients of the upper surface and the lower surface are calculated using, for example, a ratio obtained in advance as follows.
That is, the heat transfer coefficient of the hot-rolled steel sheet H when the hot-rolled steel sheet H is cooled only by the upper cooling device 14a and the heat transfer of the hot-rolled steel plate H when the hot-rolled steel plate H is cooled only by the lower cooling device 14b. Measure the coefficient.
At this time, the cooling water amount from the upper cooling device 14a and the cooling water amount from the lower cooling device 14b are the same. The reciprocal of the ratio between the measured heat transfer coefficient when using the upper cooling device 14a and the heat transfer coefficient when using the lower cooling device 14b is the upper and lower heat transfer coefficient ratio X described later as "1". In this case, the upper / lower ratio of the cooling water amount of the upper cooling device 14a and the cooling water amount of the lower cooling device 14b is obtained.
Then, the above-described hot-rolled steel sheet is obtained by multiplying the vertical ratio of the cooling water amount obtained in this way by the cooling water amount of the upper cooling device 14a or the cooling water amount of the lower cooling device 14b when the hot-rolled steel plate H is cooled. The ratio of the heat transfer coefficient between the upper surface and the lower surface of H (upper and lower heat transfer coefficient ratio X) is calculated.
In the above description, the heat transfer coefficient of the hot-rolled steel sheet H that is cooled only by the upper cooling device 14a and the lower cooling device 14b is used. However, it is cooled by both the upper cooling device 14a and the lower cooling device 14b. The heat transfer coefficient of the hot-rolled steel sheet H may be used. That is, the heat transfer coefficient of the hot-rolled steel sheet H when the amount of cooling water of the upper cooling device 14a and the lower cooling device 14b is changed is measured, and the ratio of the heat transfer coefficient is used to determine the upper and lower surfaces of the hot-rolled steel sheet H. The ratio of the heat transfer coefficient may be calculated.
 以上のように、熱延鋼板Hの熱伝達係数を算出し、熱延鋼板Hの上面と下面の熱伝達係数の上記比率(上下熱伝達係数比率X)に基づいて、熱延鋼板Hの上面と下面の熱伝達係数が算出される。 As described above, the heat transfer coefficient of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is calculated, and the upper surface of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is calculated based on the above ratio (upper and lower heat transfer coefficient ratio X) of the heat transfer coefficients between the upper and lower surfaces of the hot-rolled steel sheet H. And the heat transfer coefficient of the lower surface is calculated.
 そして、この熱延鋼板Hの上下熱伝達係数比率Xを用いて、図6に基づき、上側冷却装置14aと下側冷却装置14bの冷却能力をそれぞれ調整する。図6の横軸は熱延鋼板Hの上面の平均熱伝達係数と下面の平均熱伝達係数の比(すなわち、上下熱伝達係数比率Xと同義である)を表し、縦軸は熱延鋼板Hの圧延方向における最大温度と最小温度との温度の標準偏差(温度標準偏差Y)を表している。
また、図6は、熱延鋼板Hの波形状の急峻度と熱延鋼板Hの通板速度を一定値とする条件下で、上側冷却装置14aと下側冷却装置14bの冷却能力を調整することにより、熱延鋼板Hの上下熱伝達係数比率Xを変動させながら、冷却後の熱延鋼板Hの温度標準偏差Yを実測して得られた、上下熱伝達係数比率Xと温度標準偏差Yとの相関関係を示すデータ(第2の相関データ)である。
図6を参照すると、温度標準偏差Yと上下熱伝達係数比率Xとの相関関係は、上下熱伝達係数比率Xが“1”の時に温度標準偏差Yが最小値Yminとなる、V字状の関係になっていることが分かる。
なお、熱延鋼板Hの波形状の急峻度とは、波形状の振幅を1周期分の圧延方向の長さで割った値である。図6は、熱延鋼板Hの急峻度を2%とし、通板速度を600m/min(10m/sec)とする条件下で得られた上下熱伝達係数比率Xと温度標準偏差Yとの相関関係を示している。温度標準偏差Yは、熱延鋼板Hの冷却中に測定しても良いし、冷却後に測定しても良い。また、図6において熱延鋼板Hの目標冷却温度は600℃以上の温度であって、例えば800℃である。
And the cooling capacity of the upper side cooling device 14a and the lower side cooling device 14b is each adjusted based on FIG. 6 using the up-and-down heat transfer coefficient ratio X of this hot-rolled steel sheet H. The horizontal axis in FIG. 6 represents the ratio of the average heat transfer coefficient of the upper surface of the hot rolled steel sheet H to the average heat transfer coefficient of the lower surface (that is, the same as the vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X), and the vertical axis represents the hot rolled steel sheet H. The standard deviation of temperature between the maximum temperature and the minimum temperature in the rolling direction (temperature standard deviation Y) is shown.
Moreover, FIG. 6 adjusts the cooling capacity of the upper cooling device 14a and the lower cooling device 14b under a condition in which the steepness of the wave shape of the hot rolled steel plate H and the sheet passing speed of the hot rolled steel plate H are constant values. Thus, the vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X and the temperature standard deviation Y obtained by actually measuring the temperature standard deviation Y of the hot-rolled steel sheet H after cooling while changing the vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X of the hot-rolled steel sheet H. (Correlation data) indicating the correlation with
Referring to FIG. 6, the correlation between the temperature standard deviation Y and the upper and lower heat transfer coefficient ratio X is V-shaped, with the temperature standard deviation Y being the minimum value Ymin when the upper and lower heat transfer coefficient ratio X is “1”. It turns out that it is related.
The steepness of the wave shape of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is a value obtained by dividing the amplitude of the wave shape by the length in the rolling direction for one cycle. FIG. 6 shows the correlation between the vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X and the temperature standard deviation Y obtained under the condition that the steepness of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is 2% and the sheet feeding speed is 600 m / min (10 m / sec). Showing the relationship. The temperature standard deviation Y may be measured during cooling of the hot-rolled steel sheet H, or may be measured after cooling. In FIG. 6, the target cooling temperature of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is 600 ° C. or higher, for example, 800 ° C.
目標比率設定工程では、上記のように予め実験的に求めておいた第2の相関データに基づいて、温度標準偏差Yが最小値Yminとなる上下熱伝達係数比率X1を目標比率Xtとして設定することになる。この第2の相関データは、上下熱伝達係数比率Xと温度標準偏差Yとの相関関係をテーブル(表形式)で示すデータ(テーブルデータ)として用意しても良いし、または、上下熱伝達係数比率Xと温度標準偏差Yとの相関関係を数式(例えば回帰式)で示すデータとして用意しても良い。 In the target ratio setting step, the upper and lower heat transfer coefficient ratio X1 at which the temperature standard deviation Y becomes the minimum value Ymin is set as the target ratio Xt based on the second correlation data obtained experimentally in advance as described above. It will be. The second correlation data may be prepared as data (table data) indicating the correlation between the vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X and the temperature standard deviation Y in a table (table format), or the vertical heat transfer coefficient You may prepare the correlation of the ratio X and the temperature standard deviation Y as data which show with numerical formula (for example, regression equation).
 例えば、上下熱伝達係数比率Xと温度標準偏差Yとの相関関係を回帰式で示すデータとして第2の相関データを用意する場合、図6に示すV字の線は谷底部を挟んで両側でほぼ直線状に描かれているので、この線を直線回帰することにより回帰式を導出してもよい。線形分布であるとすれば、試験材で確認する回数や、計算予測するための較正の回数が少なくて済む。 For example, when the second correlation data is prepared as data indicating the correlation between the vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X and the temperature standard deviation Y as a regression equation, the V-shaped line shown in FIG. Since it is drawn almost linearly, a regression equation may be derived by performing linear regression on this line. If it is a linear distribution, the number of times of confirmation with a test material and the number of times of calibration for predicting calculation can be reduced.
 そこで、例えば一般的に知られている探索アルゴリズムである、2分法、黄金分割法、ランダムサーチ等の様々な方法を用いて、温度標準偏差Yの最小値Yminを探索する。こうして、図6に示す第2の相関データに基づいて、熱延鋼板Hの温度標準偏差Yが最小値Yminとなる上下熱伝達係数比率X1を導出する。また、ここで、平均熱伝達係数の上下で等しい点を挟んだ両側で、上下熱伝達係数比率Xに対する熱延鋼板Hの圧延方向の温度標準偏差Yの回帰式をそれぞれ求めておくとよい。 Therefore, for example, the minimum value Ymin of the temperature standard deviation Y is searched by using various methods such as a dichotomy method, golden section method, and random search, which are generally known search algorithms. Thus, based on the second correlation data shown in FIG. 6, the upper and lower heat transfer coefficient ratio X1 at which the temperature standard deviation Y of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is the minimum value Ymin is derived. Here, it is preferable to obtain regression equations of the temperature standard deviation Y in the rolling direction of the hot-rolled steel sheet H with respect to the upper and lower heat transfer coefficient ratio X on both sides of the same point between the upper and lower average heat transfer coefficients.
 ここで、上述した2分法を用いて、熱延鋼板Hの温度標準偏差Yの最小値Yminを探索する方法について説明する。 Here, a method for searching for the minimum value Ymin of the temperature standard deviation Y of the hot-rolled steel sheet H using the above-described bisection method will be described.
 図7は、温度標準偏差Yの最小値Yminを挟んで互いに異なる回帰線が得られるような標準的な場合を示している。この図7に示すように、先ず、実測されたa点、b点、a点とb点の真中のc点における温度標準偏差Ya、Yb、Ycをそれぞれ抽出する。なお、a点とb点の真中とは、a点の上下熱伝達係数比率Xaとb点の上下熱伝達係数比率Xbとの間の値を有するc点を示し、以下においても同様である。そして、温度標準偏差YcがYa又はYbのどちらの値に近いかを判断する。本実施形態では、YcはYaに近い。
次に、a点とc点の真中のd点における温度標準偏差Ydを抽出する。そして、温度標準偏差YdがYa又はYcのどちらの値に近いかを判断する。本実施形態では、YdはYcに近い。
次に、c点とd点の真中のe点における温度標準偏差Yeを抽出する。そして、温度標準偏差YeがYc又はYdのどちらの値に近いかを判断する。本実施形態では、YeはYdに近い。
このような演算を繰り返し行い、熱延鋼板Hの温度標準偏差Yの最小点f(最小値Ymin)を特定する。なお、実用的な最小点fを特定するためには、上述した演算を例えば5回程度行えばよい。また、探索対象の上下熱伝達係数比率Xの範囲を10分割し、それぞれの範囲で上述した演算を行って最小点fを特定してもよい。
FIG. 7 shows a standard case in which different regression lines are obtained across the minimum value Ymin of the temperature standard deviation Y. As shown in FIG. 7, first, temperature standard deviations Ya, Yb, Yc at points c, b, and points c in the middle of the points a and b are extracted. The middle of the points a and b indicates the point c having a value between the upper and lower heat transfer coefficient ratio Xa at the point a and the upper and lower heat transfer coefficient ratio Xb at the point b. Then, it is determined whether the temperature standard deviation Yc is closer to Ya or Yb. In this embodiment, Yc is close to Ya.
Next, the temperature standard deviation Yd at the point d between the points a and c is extracted. Then, it is determined whether the temperature standard deviation Yd is closer to Ya or Yc. In the present embodiment, Yd is close to Yc.
Next, the temperature standard deviation Ye at the point e between the points c and d is extracted. Then, it is determined whether the temperature standard deviation Ye is closer to Yc or Yd. In the present embodiment, Ye is close to Yd.
Such calculation is repeated to specify the minimum point f (minimum value Ymin) of the temperature standard deviation Y of the hot-rolled steel sheet H. In order to specify the practical minimum point f, the above-described calculation may be performed, for example, about 5 times. Alternatively, the range of the upper and lower heat transfer coefficient ratio X to be searched may be divided into 10, and the above-described calculation is performed in each range to specify the minimum point f.
 また、いわゆるニュートン法を用いて上下熱伝達係数比率Xを較正してもよい。この場合、上述した回帰式を用いて、実際の温度標準偏差Yの値に対する上下熱伝達係数比率Xと、温度標準偏差Yがゼロとなる上下熱伝達係数比率Xとの偏差分を求め、その偏差分を用いて、熱延鋼板Hを冷却する際の上下熱伝達係数比率Xを修正してもよい。 Also, the upper and lower heat transfer coefficient ratio X may be calibrated by using a so-called Newton method. In this case, using the above-described regression equation, the deviation between the vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X with respect to the actual temperature standard deviation Y value and the vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X at which the temperature standard deviation Y becomes zero is obtained. You may correct the up-and-down heat-transfer coefficient ratio X at the time of cooling the hot-rolled steel plate H using a deviation part.
 以上のように、熱延鋼板Hの温度標準偏差Yが最小値Yminになる上下熱伝達係数比率X1(図7中のXf)が導出される。また、V字状になっている温度標準偏差Yと上下熱伝達係数比率Xとの関係については、その両側に分けて、最小2乗法などでそれぞれに回帰関数を求めることは容易である。
さらに、熱延鋼板Hに形成される波形状が耳波形状或いは中波形状のいずれの場合であろうとも、上述したように温度標準偏差Yと上下熱伝達係数比率Xとの関係がV字状になっていることを利用して、熱延鋼板Hの温度標準偏差Yが最小値Yminになる上下熱伝達係数比率X1を導出することができる。
As described above, the vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X1 (Xf in FIG. 7) at which the temperature standard deviation Y of the hot-rolled steel sheet H becomes the minimum value Ymin is derived. In addition, regarding the relationship between the V-shaped temperature standard deviation Y and the upper and lower heat transfer coefficient ratio X, it is easy to obtain a regression function for each of them by the least square method or the like.
Furthermore, as described above, the relationship between the temperature standard deviation Y and the upper and lower heat transfer coefficient ratio X is V-shaped, regardless of whether the wave shape formed on the hot-rolled steel sheet H is an ear wave shape or a medium wave shape. By utilizing this, it is possible to derive the vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X1 at which the temperature standard deviation Y of the hot-rolled steel sheet H becomes the minimum value Ymin.
 なお、熱延鋼板Hの板幅方向には通常行われているとおり一様に水冷却している。また、板幅方向の温度標準偏差は、圧延方向の温度標準偏差Yが左右交互に発生していることにより生じているため、圧延方向の温度標準偏差Yが低減されれば、板幅方向の温度標準偏差もより低減される。 In addition, water cooling is performed uniformly in the sheet width direction of the hot-rolled steel sheet H as usual. Further, the temperature standard deviation in the sheet width direction is caused by the fact that the temperature standard deviation Y in the rolling direction is alternately generated on the left and right, so if the temperature standard deviation Y in the rolling direction is reduced, The temperature standard deviation is also reduced.
 そして、図6を参照すれば、熱延鋼板Hの温度標準偏差Yが最小値Yminとなる上下熱伝達係数比率X1は“1”である。したがって、図6に示すような第2の相関データが得られた場合、温度標準偏差Yを最小値Yminにするため、すなわち熱延鋼板Hを均一に冷却するために、実操業時の目標比率設定工程において、目標比率Xtが“1”に設定されることになる。
 そして、冷却制御工程において、冷却区間における熱延鋼板Hの上下熱伝達係数比率Xが上記の目標比率Xt(つまり“1”)と一致するように、冷却区間における熱延鋼板Hの上面冷却抜熱量と下面冷却抜熱量との少なくとも一方が制御されることになる。
 具体的には、冷却区間における熱延鋼板Hの上下熱伝達係数比率Xを目標比率Xt(つまり“1”)と一致させるためには、例えば、上側冷却装置14aの冷却能力と下側冷却装置14bの冷却能力を同等に調整することにより、熱延鋼板Hの上面冷却抜熱量と下面冷却抜熱量を等しくすれば良い。
表1は、図6に示した第2の相関データ(つまり、上下熱伝達係数比率Xと温度標準偏差Yとの相関関係)と、各温度標準偏差Yから最小値Ymin(=2.3℃)を差し引いた値(最小値からの標準偏差の差分)と、各温度標準偏差Yの評価を示している。
表1中の上下熱伝達係数比率Xについては、分子が熱延鋼板Hの上面における熱伝達係数であり、分母が熱延鋼板Hの下面における熱伝達係数である。また、表1中の評価(上下熱伝達係数比率Xの条件についての評価)においては、温度標準偏差Yが最小値Yminとなる条件を“A”とし、後述するように最小値からの標準偏差の差分が10℃以内、すなわち操業が可能となる条件を“B”とし、上述した回帰式を得るために試行錯誤的に行った条件を“C”としている。そして、表1を参照しても、評価が“A”となる、すなわち熱延鋼板Hの温度標準偏差Yが最小値Yminになる上下熱伝達係数比率X1は“1”である。
Referring to FIG. 6, the vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X1 at which the temperature standard deviation Y of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is the minimum value Ymin is “1”. Therefore, when the second correlation data as shown in FIG. 6 is obtained, in order to set the temperature standard deviation Y to the minimum value Ymin, that is, to uniformly cool the hot-rolled steel sheet H, the target ratio at the time of actual operation In the setting step, the target ratio Xt is set to “1”.
In the cooling control step, the upper surface cooling of the hot-rolled steel sheet H in the cooling section is made so that the vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X of the hot-rolled steel sheet H in the cooling section matches the target ratio Xt (that is, “1”). At least one of the amount of heat and the amount of heat extracted from the bottom surface cooling is controlled.
Specifically, in order to make the vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X of the hot-rolled steel sheet H in the cooling section coincide with the target ratio Xt (that is, “1”), for example, the cooling capacity of the upper cooling device 14a and the lower cooling device The upper surface cooling heat removal amount and the lower surface cooling heat removal amount of the hot-rolled steel sheet H may be made equal by adjusting the cooling capacity of 14b equally.
Table 1 shows the second correlation data shown in FIG. 6 (that is, the correlation between the upper and lower heat transfer coefficient ratio X and the temperature standard deviation Y) and the minimum value Ymin (= 2.3 ° C.) from each temperature standard deviation Y. ) (The difference of the standard deviation from the minimum value) and the evaluation of each temperature standard deviation Y is shown.
Regarding the upper and lower heat transfer coefficient ratio X in Table 1, the numerator is the heat transfer coefficient on the upper surface of the hot-rolled steel sheet H, and the denominator is the heat transfer coefficient on the lower surface of the hot-rolled steel sheet H. Further, in the evaluation in Table 1 (evaluation of the condition of the vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X), the condition that the temperature standard deviation Y becomes the minimum value Ymin is “A”, and the standard deviation from the minimum value as will be described later. The difference between the two is within 10 ° C., that is, the condition where the operation is possible is “B”, and the condition which is performed by trial and error to obtain the above-described regression equation is “C”. Even with reference to Table 1, the evaluation is “A”, that is, the vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X1 at which the temperature standard deviation Y of the hot-rolled steel sheet H becomes the minimum value Ymin is “1”.

 なお、熱延鋼板Hの温度標準偏差Yが少なくとも最小値Yminから最小値Ymin+10℃以内の範囲に収まれば、降伏応力、引張強さなどのバラつきを製造許容範囲内に抑えられ、熱延鋼板Hを均一に冷却できるといえる。すなわち、上記の目標比率設定工程では、予め実験的に得られた第2の相関データに基づいて、温度標準偏差Yが最小値Yから最小値Ymin+10℃以内の範囲に収まる上下熱伝達比率Xを目標比率Xtとして設定しても良い。
なお、熱延鋼板Hの温度測定には様々なノイズがあるため、熱延鋼板Hの温度標準偏差Yの最小値Yminは厳密にはゼロにならない場合がある。そこで、このノイズの影響を除去するため、製造許容範囲を、熱延鋼板Hの温度標準偏差Yが最小値Yminから最小値Ymin+10℃以内の範囲としている。
If the temperature standard deviation Y of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is at least within the range from the minimum value Ymin to the minimum value Ymin + 10 ° C., variations in yield stress, tensile strength, etc. can be suppressed within the production allowable range. Can be cooled uniformly. That is, in the above target ratio setting step, based on the second correlation data obtained experimentally in advance, the vertical heat transfer ratio X in which the temperature standard deviation Y falls within the range from the minimum value Y to the minimum value Ymin + 10 ° C. It may be set as the target ratio Xt.
Since there are various noises in the temperature measurement of the hot-rolled steel sheet H, the minimum value Ymin of the temperature standard deviation Y of the hot-rolled steel sheet H may not be strictly zero. Therefore, in order to remove the influence of this noise, the allowable manufacturing range is a range in which the temperature standard deviation Y of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is within the minimum value Ymin + 10 ° C. from the minimum value Ymin.
 温度標準偏差Yを最小値Yminから最小値Ymin+10℃以内の範囲に収めるには、図6或いは図7において、温度標準偏差Yが最小値Ymin+10℃となる縦軸上の点から横軸方向に直線を引き、その直線とV字曲線の両側2本の回帰線との2つの交点を求め、それら2つの交点間の上下熱伝達係数比率Xから目標比率Xtを設定すればよいことになる。なお、表1においては、評価が“B”の上下熱伝達係数比率Xを目標比率Xtとして設定することにより、温度標準偏差Yを最小値Yminから最小値Ymin+10℃以内の範囲に収めることができる。 In order to keep the temperature standard deviation Y within the range from the minimum value Ymin to the minimum value Ymin + 10 ° C., in FIG. 6 or FIG. 7, a straight line extends from the point on the vertical axis where the temperature standard deviation Y becomes the minimum value Ymin + 10 ° C. Then, two intersections between the straight line and the two regression lines on both sides of the V-shaped curve are obtained, and the target ratio Xt may be set from the vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X between the two intersections. In Table 1, the temperature standard deviation Y can be kept within the range from the minimum value Ymin to the minimum value Ymin + 10 ° C. by setting the upper and lower heat transfer coefficient ratio X of “B” as the target ratio Xt. .
 また、上下熱伝達係数比率Xを目標比率Xtに一致させるには、上側冷却装置14aと下側冷却装置14bとの少なくとも一方の冷却水量密度を操作することが最も容易である。そこで、例えば、図6及び図7において、横軸の値を上下水量密度比に読み替えて、平均熱伝達係数の上下で等しい点を挟んだ両側で、水量密度の上下の比率に対する熱延鋼板Hの温度標準偏差Yの回帰式を求めてもよい。ただし、平均熱伝達係数の上下で等しい点は、必ずしも冷却水量密度の上下で等しい点になるとは限らないので、少し広めに試験を行って回帰式を求めるとよい。 In order to make the vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X coincide with the target ratio Xt, it is easiest to operate the cooling water density of at least one of the upper cooling device 14a and the lower cooling device 14b. Therefore, for example, in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the value of the horizontal axis is read as the vertical water volume density ratio, and the hot rolled steel sheet H with respect to the vertical ratio of the water volume density on both sides sandwiching the same point above and below the average heat transfer coefficient. The regression equation of the temperature standard deviation Y may be obtained. However, the points that are equal above and below the average heat transfer coefficient are not necessarily equal points above and below the cooling water density, so it is better to perform a slightly wider test to obtain the regression equation.
また、実操業時に、製造条件の変更により、急峻度及び通板速度の少なくとも一方の値が変化する可能性がある。急峻度及び通板速度の少なくとも一方の値が変化すると、上下熱伝達係数比率Xと温度標準偏差Yとの相関関係も変化する。従って、上記の第2の相関データを、急峻度及び通板速度の値が異なる複数の条件のそれぞれについて用意しておき、目標比率設定工程において、それらの複数の第2の相関データの内、実操業時の急峻度及び通板速度の実測値に応じた第2の相関データに基づいて、目標比率Xtを設定しても良い。これにより、実操業時の製造条件に適した均一冷却を行うことができるようになる。 Further, at the time of actual operation, there is a possibility that at least one of the steepness level and the sheet passing speed may change due to a change in manufacturing conditions. When at least one of the steepness and the plate passing speed changes, the correlation between the vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X and the temperature standard deviation Y also changes. Therefore, the second correlation data is prepared for each of a plurality of conditions having different values of the steepness and the sheet passing speed, and in the target ratio setting step, among the plurality of second correlation data, The target ratio Xt may be set on the basis of the second correlation data corresponding to the actual steepness during actual operation and the measured value of the sheet passing speed. Thereby, uniform cooling suitable for the manufacturing conditions during actual operation can be performed.
 ここで、熱延鋼板Hを均一に冷却するために、上側冷却装置14aと下側冷却装置14bの冷却能力を調整する(熱延鋼板Hの上面冷却抜熱量と下面冷却抜熱量とを制御する)ことについて、本願発明者らが鋭意検討した結果、さらに、以下の知見を得るに至った。 Here, in order to uniformly cool the hot-rolled steel sheet H, the cooling capacity of the upper cooling device 14a and the lower cooling device 14b is adjusted (the upper surface cooling heat removal amount and the lower surface cooling heat removal amount of the hot rolled steel plate H are controlled. As a result of intensive studies by the inventors of the present invention, the following knowledge has been obtained.
 本願発明者らは、熱延鋼板Hの波形状が発生した状態での冷却によって発生した温度標準偏差Yの特徴について鋭意検討を重ねて来た結果、次の事を明らかにした。 The inventors of the present application have made extensive studies on the characteristics of the temperature standard deviation Y generated by cooling in a state where the wave shape of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is generated, and as a result, have clarified the following.
 一般的に、実操業時には、巻取装置15によって熱延鋼板Hを巻き取る時に、熱延鋼板Hの温度を所定の目標温度(巻取りに適した温度)に制御することで熱延鋼板Hの品質を維持する必要がある。
そこで、上述した目標比率設定工程及び冷却制御工程に、冷却区間(つまり冷却装置14)の下流側における熱延鋼板Hの温度を時系列で測定する温度測定工程と、その温度の測定結果に基づいて温度の時系列平均値を算出する温度平均値算出工程と、その温度の時系列平均値が所定の目標温度と一致するように、冷却区間における熱延鋼板Hの上面冷却抜熱量と下面冷却抜熱量との合計値を調整する冷却抜熱量調整工程と、を新たに加えても良い。
 これらの新たな工程を実現するために、図16に示すように冷却装置14と巻取装置15との間に配置されている、熱延鋼板Hの温度を測定する温度計40を使用することができる。
Generally, during actual operation, when the hot-rolled steel sheet H is wound by the winding device 15, the temperature of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is controlled to a predetermined target temperature (temperature suitable for winding). Need to maintain the quality.
Therefore, in the target ratio setting process and the cooling control process described above, based on the temperature measurement process for measuring the temperature of the hot-rolled steel sheet H on the downstream side of the cooling section (that is, the cooling device 14) in time series and the measurement result of the temperature. The temperature average value calculating step for calculating the time series average value of the temperature and the upper surface cooling heat removal amount and the lower surface cooling of the hot-rolled steel sheet H in the cooling section so that the time series average value of the temperature coincides with a predetermined target temperature. A cooling heat removal amount adjustment step for adjusting the total value of the heat removal amount may be newly added.
In order to realize these new processes, use a thermometer 40 that measures the temperature of the hot-rolled steel sheet H, which is arranged between the cooling device 14 and the winding device 15 as shown in FIG. Can do.
 温度測定工程では、冷却装置14から巻取装置15へ搬送される熱延鋼板Hに対し、温度計40によって熱延鋼板Hの圧延方向に定められた位置の温度測定を一定の時間間隔(サンプリング間隔)で行い、温度測定結果の時系列データを取得する。なお、温度計40による温度の測定領域は、熱延鋼板Hの幅方向の全域を含む。また、各温度測定結果のサンプリング時間に熱延鋼板Hの通板速度(搬送速度)を乗算すると、各温度測定結果が得られた熱延鋼板Hの圧延方向の位置を算出することができる。つまり、温度測定結果がサンプリングされた時間に通板速度を乗じると、温度測定結果の時系列データを圧延方向の位置に紐付けすることが可能となる。 In the temperature measurement step, the temperature measurement at the position determined in the rolling direction of the hot-rolled steel sheet H by the thermometer 40 is performed on the hot-rolled steel sheet H conveyed from the cooling device 14 to the winding device 15 at a certain time interval (sampling). Time interval data is obtained at intervals). Note that the temperature measurement region by the thermometer 40 includes the entire width direction of the hot-rolled steel sheet H. Moreover, when the sampling time of each temperature measurement result is multiplied by the sheet feeding speed (conveying speed) of the hot-rolled steel sheet H, the position in the rolling direction of the hot-rolled steel sheet H from which each temperature measurement result is obtained can be calculated. That is, when the time at which the temperature measurement result is sampled is multiplied by the sheet passing speed, the time series data of the temperature measurement result can be linked to the position in the rolling direction.
 温度平均値算出工程では、上記の温度測定結果の時系列データを用いて、温度測定結果の時系列平均値を算出する。具体的には、温度測定結果が一定個数得られるごとに、それらの一定個数分の温度測定結果の平均値を算出すれば良い。そして、冷却抜熱量調整工程では、上記のように算出された温度測定結果の時系列平均値が所定の目標温度と一致するように、冷却区間における熱延鋼板Hの上面冷却抜熱量と下面冷却抜熱量との合計値を調整する。
ここで、冷却区間における熱延鋼板Hの上下熱伝達係数比率Xを目標比率Xtと一致させるという制御目標を達成しながら、上面冷却抜熱量と下面冷却抜熱量との合計値を調整する必要がある。
具体的に、上面冷却抜熱量と下面冷却抜熱量との合計値を調整する時には、例えば三塚の式等に代表される実験理論式を用いて予め求められた理論値に対して、実際の操業実績との誤差を補正する様に設定した学習値に基づき、冷却装置14に接続される冷却ヘッダーのオンオフ制御を行っても良い。或いは、実際に温度計40で測定された温度に基づいて、上記冷却ヘッダーのオンオフをフィードバック制御又はフィードフォワード制御してもよい。
In the temperature average value calculating step, the time series average value of the temperature measurement result is calculated using the time series data of the temperature measurement result. Specifically, every time a certain number of temperature measurement results are obtained, an average value of the temperature measurement results for the certain number may be calculated. Then, in the cooling heat removal amount adjustment step, the upper surface cooling heat removal amount and the lower surface cooling of the hot-rolled steel sheet H in the cooling section so that the time-series average value of the temperature measurement results calculated as described above coincides with the predetermined target temperature. Adjust the total value with heat removal.
Here, it is necessary to adjust the total value of the upper surface cooling heat removal amount and the lower surface cooling heat removal amount while achieving the control target of making the vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X of the hot rolled steel sheet H in the cooling section coincide with the target ratio Xt. is there.
Specifically, when adjusting the total value of the amount of heat removed from the upper surface cooling and the amount of heat removed from the lower surface cooling, for example, the actual operation with respect to the theoretical value obtained in advance using an experimental theoretical formula represented by the Mitsuka equation, etc. On / off control of the cooling header connected to the cooling device 14 may be performed based on a learning value set so as to correct an error from the actual result. Alternatively, on / off of the cooling header may be feedback-controlled or feed-forward controlled based on the temperature actually measured by the thermometer 40.
 次に、上述した温度計40と、図16に示すように冷却装置14と巻取装置15との間に配置されている、熱延鋼板Hの波形状を測定する形状計41から得られるデータを用いて従来のROTの冷却制御について説明をする。
なお、形状計41は、熱延鋼板H上に定められた温度計40と同一の測定位置(以下では、この測定位置を定点と呼ぶ場合がある)の形状を測定する。ここで、形状とは、定点測定で観測される熱延鋼板Hの高さ方向の変動量に熱延鋼板Hの通板方向の移動量を用いて、波のピッチ分の高さ或いは変動成分の線積分で求めた急峻度である。また、同時に単位時間当たりの変動量、つまり変動速度も求める。さらに、形状の測定領域は、温度の測定領域と同様に、熱延鋼板Hの幅方向の全域を含む。温度測定結果と同じく、各測定結果(急峻度、変動速度等)がサンプリングされた時間に通板速度を乗じると、各測定結果の時系列データを圧延方向の位置に紐付けすることが可能となる。
図8は、通常の操業における代表的なストリップのROT内冷却の熱延鋼板Hの温度変動と急峻度の関係を示している。図8における熱延鋼板Hの上下熱伝達係数比率Xは1.2:1であり、上側冷却能力が下側冷却能力よりも高くなっている。図8の上側のグラフは、コイル先端からの距離或いは定点経過時間に対する温度変動を示し、図8の下側のグラフは、コイル先端からの距離または定点経過時間に対する急峻度を示している。
図8における領域Aは、図16に示すストリップ先端部が巻取装置15のコイラーに噛み込まれる前の領域(張力が無い為、形状が悪い領域)である。図8における領域Bは、ストリップ先端部がコイラーに噛み込まれた後の領域(ユニットテンションの影響で波形状がフラットに変化する領域)である。このような熱延鋼板Hの形状がフラットでない領域Aで発生する大きな温度変動(つまり温度標準偏差Y)を改善することが望まれる。
Next, data obtained from the thermometer 40 described above and a shape meter 41 for measuring the wave shape of the hot-rolled steel sheet H, which is disposed between the cooling device 14 and the winding device 15 as shown in FIG. The conventional ROT cooling control will be described with reference to FIG.
The shape meter 41 measures the shape of the same measurement position as the thermometer 40 defined on the hot-rolled steel sheet H (hereinafter, this measurement position may be referred to as a fixed point). Here, the shape means the height or fluctuation component of the wave pitch by using the movement amount of the hot-rolled steel sheet H in the passing direction as the fluctuation amount in the height direction of the hot-rolled steel sheet H observed by the fixed point measurement. This is the steepness obtained by the line integral. At the same time, a fluctuation amount per unit time, that is, a fluctuation speed is also obtained. Furthermore, the shape measurement region includes the entire region in the width direction of the hot-rolled steel sheet H, similarly to the temperature measurement region. As with temperature measurement results, it is possible to link the time series data of each measurement result to the position in the rolling direction by multiplying the time at which each measurement result (steepness, fluctuation speed, etc.) was sampled by the plate feed speed. Become.
FIG. 8 shows the relationship between the temperature fluctuation and the steepness of the hot-rolled steel sheet H that is cooled in the ROT of a typical strip in a normal operation. The vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X of the hot-rolled steel sheet H in FIG. 8 is 1.2: 1, and the upper cooling capacity is higher than the lower cooling capacity. The upper graph in FIG. 8 shows the temperature variation with respect to the distance from the coil tip or the fixed point elapsed time, and the lower graph in FIG. 8 shows the distance from the coil tip or the steepness with respect to the fixed point elapsed time.
A region A in FIG. 8 is a region before the strip front end portion shown in FIG. 16 is bitten by the coiler of the winding device 15 (a region having a bad shape because there is no tension). A region B in FIG. 8 is a region after the strip front end portion is bitten by the coiler (a region where the wave shape is changed flat due to the influence of the unit tension). It is desired to improve a large temperature fluctuation (that is, temperature standard deviation Y) generated in the region A where the shape of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is not flat.
そこで、本願発明者らは、ROTにおける温度標準偏差Yの増大を抑制することを目標として、鋭意実験を行ってきた結果、以下のような知見を得るに至った。 Accordingly, the inventors of the present application have conducted intensive experiments with the goal of suppressing an increase in the temperature standard deviation Y in the ROT, and as a result, have obtained the following knowledge.
 図9は、図8と同様に通常の操業における代表的なストリップのROT内冷却の同一形状急峻度に対する温度変動成分を示している。この温度変動成分とは、実際の鋼板温度から温度の時系列平均(以下、「平均温度」という場合がある)を引いた残差である。例えば平均温度は、熱延鋼板Hの波形状1周期以上の範囲を平均としても良い。
なお、平均温度は、原則として周期単位での範囲の平均である。また、1周期の範囲の平均温度は、2周期以上の範囲の平均温度と大きな差がないことが操業データによって確認されている。
従って、少なくとも波形状1周期の範囲の平均温度を算出すればよい。熱延鋼板Hの波形状の範囲の上限は特に限定されないが、好ましくは5周期に設定すれば、十分な精度の平均温度を得られる。また、平均する範囲が周期単位の範囲でなくとも、2~5周期の範囲であれば許容できる平均温度を得られる。
FIG. 9 shows the temperature fluctuation component with respect to the same shape steepness of cooling in the ROT of a typical strip in a normal operation as in FIG. This temperature fluctuation component is a residual obtained by subtracting a time-series average of temperature (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “average temperature”) from the actual steel plate temperature. For example, the average temperature may be averaged over a range of one or more wave shapes of the hot-rolled steel sheet H.
The average temperature is in principle the average of the range in units of cycles. In addition, it has been confirmed by the operation data that the average temperature in the range of one cycle is not significantly different from the average temperature in the range of two cycles or more.
Therefore, it is only necessary to calculate an average temperature in a range of at least one waveform. The upper limit of the corrugated range of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is not particularly limited, but preferably an average temperature with sufficient accuracy can be obtained if it is set to 5 cycles. Further, even if the range to be averaged is not a cycle unit range, an acceptable average temperature can be obtained if it is in the range of 2 to 5 cycles.
 ここで、熱延鋼板Hの鉛直方向(熱延鋼板Hの上下面に直交する方向)の上向きを正とすると、定点で測定された変動速度が正の領域で、熱延鋼板Hの波形状1周期以上の範囲の平均温度に対して熱延鋼板Hの温度(定点で測定された温度)が低い場合は、上面冷却抜熱量が減少する方向及び下面冷却抜熱量が増加する方向の少なくとも一方を制御方向として決定し、上記の平均温度に対して熱延鋼板Hの温度が高い場合は、上面冷却抜熱量が増加する方向及び下面冷却抜熱量が減少する方向の少なくとも一方を制御方向として決定する。
また、定点で測定された変動速度が負の領域で、上記の平均温度に対して熱延鋼板Hの温度が低い場合は、上面冷却抜熱量が増加する方向及び下面冷却抜熱量が減少する方向の少なくとも一方を制御方向として決定し、上記の平均温度に対して熱延鋼板Hの温度が高い場合は、上面冷却抜熱量が減少する方向及び下面冷却抜熱量が増加する方向の少なくとも一方を制御方向として決定する。
そして、上記のように決定された制御方向に基づいて、冷却区間における熱延鋼板Hの上面冷却抜熱量及び下面冷却抜熱量の少なくとも一方を調整すると、図10に示すように、図9と比較して、熱延鋼板Hの形状がフラットでない領域Aで発生する温度変動を低減できることがわかった。
Here, when the upward direction in the vertical direction of the hot-rolled steel sheet H (direction perpendicular to the upper and lower surfaces of the hot-rolled steel sheet H) is positive, the wave shape of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is a region where the fluctuation rate measured at a fixed point is positive. When the temperature of the hot-rolled steel sheet H (temperature measured at a fixed point) is lower than the average temperature in the range of one cycle or more, at least one of the direction in which the upper surface cooling heat removal amount decreases and the direction in which the lower surface cooling heat removal amount increases. Is determined as the control direction, and when the temperature of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is higher than the average temperature, at least one of the direction in which the upper surface cooling heat removal amount increases and the direction in which the lower surface cooling heat removal amount decreases is determined as the control direction. To do.
Further, when the temperature of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is lower than the above average temperature in the region where the fluctuation rate measured at a fixed point is negative, the direction in which the upper surface cooling heat removal amount increases and the direction in which the lower surface cooling heat removal amount decreases. Is determined as a control direction, and when the temperature of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is higher than the above average temperature, at least one of the direction in which the upper surface cooling heat removal amount decreases and the direction in which the lower surface cooling heat removal amount increases is controlled. Determine as direction.
Then, when at least one of the upper surface cooling heat removal amount and the lower surface cooling heat removal amount of the hot-rolled steel sheet H in the cooling section is adjusted based on the control direction determined as described above, as shown in FIG. And it turned out that the temperature fluctuation generate | occur | produced in the area | region A where the shape of the hot-rolled steel plate H is not flat can be reduced.
上記とは逆の操作を行った場合について以下に記す。定点で測定された変動速度が正の領域で、熱延鋼板Hの平均温度に対して熱延鋼板Hの温度が低い場合は、上面冷却抜熱量が増加する方向及び下面冷却抜熱量が減少する方向の少なくとも一方を制御方向として決定し、上記の平均温度に対して熱延鋼板Hの温度が高い場合は、上面冷却抜熱量が減少する方向及び下面冷却抜熱量が増加する方向の少なくとも一方を制御方向として決定する。
また、定点で測定された変動速度が負の領域で、上記の平均温度に対して熱延鋼板Hの温度が低い場合は、上面冷却抜熱量が減少する方向及び下面冷却抜熱量が増加する方向の少なくとも一方を制御方向として決定し、上記の平均温度に対して熱延鋼板Hの温度が高い場合は、上面冷却抜熱量が増加する方向及び下面冷却抜熱量が減少する方向の少なくとも一方を制御方向として決定する。
そして、上記のように決定された制御方向に基づいて、冷却区間における熱延鋼板Hの上面冷却抜熱量及び下面冷却抜熱量の少なくとも一方を調整すると、図11に示すように、図9と比較して、熱延鋼板Hの形状がフラットでない領域Aで発生する温度変動が拡大することがわかった。なお、ここで説明する例でも冷却停止温度を変えてよいという前提にはなっていない。すなわち、このように上面冷却抜熱量及び下面冷却抜熱量の増減方向(制御方向)を決定する場合でも、熱延鋼板Hの冷却停止温度が所定の目標冷却温度になるように冷却抜熱量が調整される。
The case where the reverse operation is performed will be described below. When the temperature of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is lower than the average temperature of the hot-rolled steel sheet H in a region where the fluctuation rate measured at a fixed point is positive, the direction in which the upper surface cooling heat removal amount increases and the lower surface cooling heat removal amount decreases. When at least one of the directions is determined as the control direction and the temperature of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is higher than the average temperature, at least one of the direction in which the upper surface cooling heat removal amount decreases and the direction in which the lower surface cooling heat removal amount increases is determined. Determine as the control direction.
Further, when the temperature of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is lower than the above average temperature in a region where the fluctuation rate measured at a fixed point is negative, the direction in which the upper surface cooling heat removal amount decreases and the direction in which the lower surface cooling heat removal amount increases. Is determined as a control direction, and when the temperature of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is higher than the above average temperature, at least one of the direction in which the upper surface cooling heat removal amount increases and the direction in which the lower surface cooling heat removal amount decreases is controlled. Determine as direction.
Then, when at least one of the upper surface cooling heat removal amount and the lower surface cooling heat removal amount of the hot-rolled steel sheet H in the cooling section is adjusted based on the control direction determined as described above, as shown in FIG. And it turned out that the temperature fluctuation which generate | occur | produces in the area | region A where the shape of the hot-rolled steel plate H is not flat expands. In the example described here, it is not assumed that the cooling stop temperature may be changed. That is, even when determining the increase / decrease direction (control direction) of the upper surface cooling heat removal amount and the lower surface cooling heat removal amount, the cooling heat removal amount is adjusted so that the cooling stop temperature of the hot-rolled steel sheet H becomes the predetermined target cooling temperature. Is done.
 この関係を利用すれば、温度変動、つまり温度標準偏差Yを低減させるために冷却装置14の上側冷却装置14aと下側冷却装置14bのどちらの冷却能力を調整すればよいのかが明確になる。なお、表2は上記関係をまとめた表である。 Using this relationship, it becomes clear which cooling capacity of the upper cooling device 14a or the lower cooling device 14b of the cooling device 14 should be adjusted in order to reduce the temperature fluctuation, that is, the temperature standard deviation Y. Table 2 summarizes the above relationships.

このように、上述した目標比率設定工程及び冷却制御工程に、冷却区間の下流側における熱延鋼板Hの温度(定点での温度)を時系列で測定する温度測定工程と、熱延鋼板Hの温度測定箇所と同一箇所(定点)での熱延鋼板Hの鉛直方向の変動速度を時系列で測定する変動速度測定工程と、温度測定結果及び変動速度測定結果に基づいて上面冷却抜熱量及び下面冷却抜熱量の制御方向を決定する制御方向決定工程と、決定された制御方向に基づいて、冷却区間における熱延鋼板Hの上面冷却抜熱量及び下面冷却抜熱量の少なくとも一方を調整する冷却抜熱量調整工程と、を新たに追加しても良い。
 ここで、制御方向決定工程では、上記のように、熱延鋼板Hの定点での変動速度が正の領域で、熱延鋼板Hの定点での平均温度に対して熱延鋼板Hの定点での温度が低い場合は、上面冷却抜熱量が減少する方向及び下面冷却抜熱量が増加する方向の少なくとも一方を制御方向として決定し、上記の平均温度に対して熱延鋼板Hの温度が高い場合は、上面冷却抜熱量が増加する方向及び下面冷却抜熱量が減少する方向の少なくとも一方を制御方向として決定する。
また、この制御方向決定工程では、上記の変動速度が負の領域で、上記の平均温度に対して熱延鋼板Hの温度が低い場合は、上面冷却抜熱量が増加する方向及び下面冷却抜熱量が減少する方向の少なくとも一方を制御方向として決定し、上記の平均温度に対して熱延鋼板Hの温度が高い場合は、上面冷却抜熱量が減少する方向及び下面冷却抜熱量が増加する方向の少なくとも一方を制御方向として決定する。
なお、この冷却方法においても、冷却区間における熱延鋼板Hの上下熱伝達係数比率Xを目標比率Xtと一致させるという制御目標を達成しながら、上面冷却抜熱量と下面冷却抜熱量を調整する必要がある。
Thus, in the target ratio setting process and the cooling control process described above, the temperature measurement process for measuring the temperature (temperature at a fixed point) of the hot rolled steel sheet H on the downstream side of the cooling section in time series, and the hot rolled steel sheet H Fluctuation rate measurement process that measures the variation rate in the vertical direction of the hot-rolled steel sheet H at the same location (fixed point) as the temperature measurement location, and the amount of heat removed from the top surface and the bottom surface based on the temperature measurement result and the variation rate measurement result A control direction determining step for determining a control direction of the cooling heat removal amount, and a cooling heat removal amount for adjusting at least one of the upper surface cooling heat removal amount and the lower surface cooling heat removal amount of the hot-rolled steel sheet H in the cooling section based on the determined control direction. An adjustment step may be newly added.
Here, in the control direction determination step, as described above, the fluctuation speed at the fixed point of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is a positive region, and the fixed temperature of the hot-rolled steel sheet H with respect to the average temperature at the fixed point of the hot-rolled steel sheet H. When the temperature is low, at least one of the direction in which the amount of heat removal from the upper surface cooling decreases and the direction in which the amount of heat removal from the lower surface cooling increases is determined as the control direction, and the temperature of the hot rolled steel sheet H is higher than the above average temperature Determines at least one of the direction in which the upper surface cooling heat removal amount increases and the direction in which the lower surface cooling heat removal amount decreases as the control direction.
In this control direction determination step, when the temperature of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is lower than the average temperature in the region where the fluctuation speed is negative, the upper surface cooling heat removal amount and the lower surface cooling heat removal amount are increased. When the temperature of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is higher than the above average temperature, the direction of decreasing the upper surface cooling heat removal amount and the direction of increasing the lower surface cooling heat removal amount are determined. At least one is determined as a control direction.
Even in this cooling method, it is necessary to adjust the upper surface cooling heat removal amount and the lower surface cooling heat removal amount while achieving the control target of making the upper and lower heat transfer coefficient ratio X of the hot rolled steel sheet H in the cooling section coincide with the target ratio Xt. There is.
 なお、上側冷却装置14aの冷却能力と下側冷却装置14bの冷却能力の調整する際には、例えば上側冷却装置14aの冷却口31に接続される冷却ヘッダーと下側冷却装置14bの冷却口31に接続される冷却ヘッダーとを、それぞれオンオフ制御してもよい。あるいは、上側冷却装置14aと下側冷却装置14bにおける各冷却ヘッダーの冷却能力を制御してもよい。すなわち、各冷却口31から噴射される冷却水の水量密度、圧力、水温の少なくとも一つを調整してもよい。
また、上側冷却装置14aと下側冷却装置14bの冷却ヘッダー(冷却口31)を間引いて、上側冷却装置14aと下側冷却装置14bから噴射される冷却水の流量や圧力を調整してもよい。例えば冷却ヘッダーを間引く前の上側冷却装置14aの冷却能力が、下側冷却装置14bの冷却能力よりも上回っている場合、上側冷却装置14aを構成する冷却ヘッダーを間引くことが好ましい。
When adjusting the cooling capacity of the upper cooling device 14a and the cooling capacity of the lower cooling device 14b, for example, a cooling header connected to the cooling port 31 of the upper cooling device 14a and the cooling port 31 of the lower cooling device 14b. Each of the cooling headers connected to may be controlled on and off. Or you may control the cooling capacity of each cooling header in the upper side cooling device 14a and the lower side cooling device 14b. That is, you may adjust at least one of the water quantity density of the cooling water injected from each cooling port 31, a pressure, and water temperature.
In addition, the cooling headers (cooling ports 31) of the upper cooling device 14a and the lower cooling device 14b may be thinned out to adjust the flow rate and pressure of the cooling water injected from the upper cooling device 14a and the lower cooling device 14b. . For example, when the cooling capacity of the upper cooling device 14a before thinning out the cooling header is higher than the cooling capacity of the lower cooling device 14b, it is preferable to thin out the cooling header constituting the upper cooling device 14a.
 こうして調整された冷却能力で、上側冷却装置14aから熱延鋼板Hの上面に冷却水を噴射すると共に、下側冷却装置14bから熱延鋼板Hの下面に冷却水を噴射することにより、熱延鋼板Hが均一に冷却される。 The cooling capacity thus adjusted is used to inject cooling water onto the upper surface of the hot-rolled steel sheet H from the upper cooling device 14a, and to inject cooling water onto the lower surface of the hot-rolled steel plate H from the lower cooling device 14b. The steel plate H is uniformly cooled.
 以上の実施形態では、図6に示す第2の相関データを、熱延鋼板Hの通板速度を600m/minに固定して求めた場合について説明したが、本願発明者らが鋭意検討した結果、前述した上下面抜熱量制御に加えて、通板速度を550m/min以上に設定すれば、熱延鋼板Hをより均一にできることが分かった。 In the above embodiment, the case where the second correlation data shown in FIG. 6 is obtained by fixing the sheet passing speed of the hot-rolled steel sheet H to 600 m / min has been described. It has been found that, in addition to the above-described upper and lower surface heat extraction control, the hot-rolled steel sheet H can be made more uniform by setting the sheet passing speed to 550 m / min or more.
 熱延鋼板Hの通板速度を550m/min以上に設定すると、熱延鋼板Hに冷却水を噴射しても、熱延鋼板H上の乗り水の影響が顕著に少なくなることが分かった。このため、乗り水による熱延鋼板Hの不均一冷却も回避することができる。なお、熱延鋼板Hの通板速度は、高速であるほど良いが、機械的な限界速度(例えば、1550m/min)を越えることは不可能である。従って、実質的に、冷却区間における熱延鋼板Hの通板速度は、550m/min以上から機械的な限界速度以下までの範囲で設定されることになる。また、実操業時における通板速度の上限値(操業上限速度)が予め定められている場合には、熱延鋼板Hの通板速度を、550m/min以上から操業上限速度(例えば、1200m/min)以下までの範囲で設定することが好ましい。 It has been found that when the sheet passing speed of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is set to 550 m / min or more, even if the cooling water is injected onto the hot-rolled steel sheet H, the influence of the water on the hot-rolled steel sheet H is remarkably reduced. For this reason, the non-uniform cooling of the hot-rolled steel sheet H by the riding water can be avoided. In addition, although the plate | board speed of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is so good that it is high, it is impossible to exceed a mechanical limit speed (for example, 1550 m / min). Therefore, the sheet feeding speed of the hot-rolled steel sheet H in the cooling section is substantially set in a range from 550 m / min or more to a mechanical limit speed or less. Moreover, when the upper limit (operation upper limit speed) of the sheeting speed at the time of an actual operation is predetermined, the operation upper limit speed (for example, 1200 m / min) is set from 550 m / min or more. min) is preferably set within a range up to or below.
 また、一般的に、引張強度が大きい熱延鋼板H(特に、引張強度(TS)が800MPa以上であって、現実的には1400MPaを上限とする、いわゆるハイテンと呼ばれる鋼板など)である場合には、その熱延鋼板Hの硬度が高いことに起因して、熱間圧延設備1における圧延時に生じる加工発熱が大きくなることが知られている。従って、従来は、冷却装置14(つまり冷却区間)における熱延鋼板Hの通板速度を低く抑えることにより、冷却を十分に行うものとしていた。 In general, when the steel sheet is a hot-rolled steel sheet H having a high tensile strength (particularly a steel sheet called so-called high tensile steel having a tensile strength (TS) of 800 MPa or more and a practical upper limit of 1400 MPa). It is known that due to the high hardness of the hot-rolled steel sheet H, processing heat generated during rolling in the hot rolling facility 1 is increased. Therefore, conventionally, cooling is sufficiently performed by suppressing the sheet passing speed of the hot-rolled steel sheet H in the cooling device 14 (that is, the cooling section).
 そこで、本願発明者らは、熱間圧延設備1の仕上圧延機13において、例えば6~7スタンドに亘って設けられる一対の仕上げ圧延ロール13a(即ち、圧延スタンド)同士の間で、冷却(いわゆるスタンド間冷却)を行うことにより、上記加工発熱を抑制し、冷却装置14における熱延鋼板Hの通板速度を550m/min以上に設定できることを見出した。特に熱延鋼板Hの引張強度(TS)が800MPa以上である場合に、スタンド間冷却を行うことで熱延鋼板Hの加工発熱が抑制され、冷却装置14における熱延鋼板Hの通板速度を550m/min以上に保つことが可能となる。 Therefore, the inventors of the present application, in the finishing mill 13 of the hot rolling facility 1, cooled (so-called) between a pair of finish rolling rolls 13 a (that is, rolling stands) provided over, for example, 6 to 7 stands. It was found that by performing (cooling between stands), the processing heat generation can be suppressed and the sheet passing speed of the hot-rolled steel sheet H in the cooling device 14 can be set to 550 m / min or more. In particular, when the tensile strength (TS) of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is 800 MPa or more, processing heat generation of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is suppressed by cooling between the stands, and the sheet passing speed of the hot-rolled steel sheet H in the cooling device 14 is reduced. It becomes possible to keep it at 550 m / min or more.
 以上の実施形態において、冷却装置14による熱延鋼板Hの冷却は、仕上圧延機出側温度から、この熱延鋼板Hの温度が600℃までの範囲で行われるのが好ましい。熱延鋼板Hの温度が600℃以上の温度領域は、いわゆる膜沸騰領域である。すなわち、この場合、いわゆる遷移沸騰領域を回避し、膜沸騰領域で熱延鋼板Hを水冷することができる。遷移沸騰領域では、熱延鋼板Hの表面に冷却水を噴射した際、この熱延鋼板H表面において、蒸気膜に覆われる部分と、冷却水が熱延鋼板Hに直接噴射される部分とが混在する。
このため、熱延鋼板Hを均一に冷却することができない。一方、膜沸騰領域では、熱延鋼板Hの表面全体が蒸気膜に覆われた状態で熱延鋼板Hの冷却が行われるので、熱延鋼板Hを均一に冷却することができる。したがって、本実施形態のように熱延鋼板Hの温度が600℃以上の範囲において、熱延鋼板Hをより均一に冷却することができる。
In the above embodiment, the cooling of the hot-rolled steel sheet H by the cooling device 14 is preferably performed in the range from the finish rolling mill outlet temperature to the temperature of the hot-rolled steel sheet H up to 600 ° C. The temperature region where the temperature of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is 600 ° C. or higher is a so-called film boiling region. That is, in this case, the so-called transition boiling region can be avoided and the hot-rolled steel sheet H can be water-cooled in the film boiling region. In the transition boiling region, when cooling water is sprayed onto the surface of the hot-rolled steel sheet H, a portion covered with a vapor film and a portion where the cooling water is directly sprayed onto the hot-rolled steel plate H are formed on the surface of the hot-rolled steel plate H. Mixed.
For this reason, the hot-rolled steel sheet H cannot be cooled uniformly. On the other hand, in the film boiling region, since the hot-rolled steel sheet H is cooled in a state where the entire surface of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is covered with the vapor film, the hot-rolled steel sheet H can be uniformly cooled. Therefore, the hot-rolled steel sheet H can be cooled more uniformly in the range where the temperature of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is 600 ° C. or more as in this embodiment.
 以上の実施形態では、図6に示すような第2の相関データを用いて、冷却装置14の上側冷却装置14aの冷却能力と下側冷却装置14bの冷却能力を調整する際、熱延鋼板Hの波形状の急峻度と熱延鋼板Hの通板速度を一定としていた。しかしながら、例えばコイル毎に、これら熱延鋼板Hの急峻度や通板速度が一定でない場合もある。 In the above embodiment, when adjusting the cooling capacity of the upper cooling device 14a and the cooling capacity of the lower cooling device 14b of the cooling device 14 using the second correlation data as shown in FIG. The steepness of the wave shape and the sheet passing speed of the hot-rolled steel sheet H were constant. However, for example, the steepness of the hot-rolled steel sheet H and the sheet passing speed may not be constant for each coil.
 本願発明者らが調べたところ、例えば図12に示すように、熱延鋼板Hの波形状の急峻度が大きくなれば、熱延鋼板Hの温度標準偏差Yが大きくなる。すなわち、図13に示すように、上下熱伝達係数比率Xが“1”から離れるにつれて、急峻度(急峻度の感度)に応じて温度標準偏差Yが大きくなる。図13では、上述したように上下熱伝達係数比率Xと温度標準偏差Yとの関係が、急峻度毎にV字の回帰線によって表されている。なお、図13において、熱延鋼板Hの通板速度は10m/sec(600m/min)で一定である。 As a result of investigation by the inventors of the present application, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, when the steepness of the wave shape of the hot-rolled steel sheet H increases, the temperature standard deviation Y of the hot-rolled steel sheet H increases. That is, as shown in FIG. 13, as the vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X increases from “1”, the temperature standard deviation Y increases in accordance with the steepness (steepness sensitivity). In FIG. 13, as described above, the relationship between the vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X and the temperature standard deviation Y is represented by a V-shaped regression line for each steepness. In FIG. 13, the sheet passing speed of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is constant at 10 m / sec (600 m / min).
 また、例えば、図14に示すように、熱延鋼板Hの通板速度が高速になると、熱延鋼板Hの温度標準偏差Yが大きくなる。すなわち、図15に示すように、上下熱伝達係数比率Xが“1”から離れるにつれて、通板速度(通板速度の感度)に応じて温度標準偏差Yが大きくなる。図15では、上述したように上下熱伝達係数比率Xと温度標準偏差Yとの関係が、通板速度毎にV字の回帰線によって表されている。なお、図15において、熱延鋼板Hの波形状の急峻度は2%で一定である。 For example, as shown in FIG. 14, when the sheet passing speed of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is increased, the temperature standard deviation Y of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is increased. That is, as shown in FIG. 15, the temperature standard deviation Y increases as the vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X deviates from “1” in accordance with the plate passing speed (the sensitivity of the plate passing speed). In FIG. 15, as described above, the relationship between the vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X and the temperature standard deviation Y is represented by a V-shaped regression line for each plate passing speed. In FIG. 15, the steepness of the wave shape of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is constant at 2%.
 このように熱延鋼板Hの急峻度や通板速度が一定でない場合、上下熱伝達係数比率Xに対する温度標準偏差Yの変化を定性的に評価できるものの、定量的に正確に評価することができない。 As described above, when the steepness and the sheet passing speed of the hot-rolled steel sheet H are not constant, the change of the temperature standard deviation Y with respect to the vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X can be qualitatively evaluated but cannot be quantitatively and accurately evaluated. .
 そこで、予め熱延鋼板Hの上下熱伝達係数比率Xを固定しておき、例えば図12に示すように、急峻度を3%から0%まで段階的に変更させて、各急峻度と熱延鋼板Hの冷却後の温度標準偏差Yとの相関関係を示すテーブルデータを求めておく。そして、実際の熱延鋼板Hの急峻度z%に対する温度標準偏差Yを、内挿関数によって所定の急峻度に対する温度標準偏差Y’に補正する。具体的には、補正条件として所定の急峻度を2%にする場合、急峻度z%における温度標準偏差Yzに基づいて、下記式(1)で温度標準偏差Yz’が算出される。あるいは、例えば図12における急峻度の勾配αを最小二乗法等で算出し、その勾配αを用いて温度標準偏差Yz’を算出してもよい。
Yz’=Yz×2/z・・・・(1)
Therefore, the vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is fixed in advance, and the steepness is changed stepwise from 3% to 0%, for example, as shown in FIG. Table data indicating a correlation with the temperature standard deviation Y after cooling of the steel plate H is obtained. Then, the temperature standard deviation Y with respect to the steepness z% of the actual hot-rolled steel sheet H is corrected to a temperature standard deviation Y ′ with respect to a predetermined steepness by an interpolation function. Specifically, when the predetermined steepness is set to 2% as the correction condition, the temperature standard deviation Yz ′ is calculated by the following equation (1) based on the temperature standard deviation Yz at the steepness z%. Alternatively, for example, the steepness gradient α in FIG. 12 may be calculated by the least square method or the like, and the temperature standard deviation Yz ′ may be calculated using the gradient α.
Yz ′ = Yz × 2 / z (1)
 また、図13に示すV字曲線の回帰式において、急峻度を所定の急峻度に補正し、その回帰式から温度標準偏差Yを導出してもよい。なお、表3は、図12中の急峻度に対して、図13に示したように上下熱伝達係数比率Xを変動させた場合の熱延鋼板Hの温度標準偏差Y、熱延鋼板Hの各温度標準偏差Yから最小値Ymin(急峻度が1%の場合はYmin=1.2℃、急峻度が2%の場合はYmin=2.3℃、急峻度が3%の場合はYmin=3.5℃)を差し引いた値(最小値からの標準偏差の差分)、及び各温度標準偏差Yの評価を示している。
この表3における上下熱伝達係数比率Xの表示と評価の基準については、表1の評価と同様であるので説明を省略する。この図13又は表3を用いて、急峻度に応じた熱延鋼板Hの温度標準偏差Yを導出できる。そして、例えば、急峻度を2%に補正する場合、表3における評価が“B”となる、すなわち熱延鋼板Hの最小値からの標準偏差の差分が10℃以内となる上下熱伝達係数比率Xを1.1に設定することができる。
Further, in the regression equation of the V-shaped curve shown in FIG. 13, the steepness may be corrected to a predetermined steepness, and the temperature standard deviation Y may be derived from the regression equation. Table 3 shows the temperature standard deviation Y of the hot-rolled steel sheet H when the vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X is varied as shown in FIG. 13 with respect to the steepness in FIG. The minimum value Ymin from each temperature standard deviation Y (Ymin = 1.2 ° C. when the steepness is 1%, Ymin = 2.3 ° C. when the steepness is 2%, Ymin = 3% when the steepness is 3%) The value obtained by subtracting 3.5 ° C. (difference of standard deviation from the minimum value) and the evaluation of each temperature standard deviation Y are shown.
The display and evaluation criteria for the upper and lower heat transfer coefficient ratio X in Table 3 are the same as those in Table 1 and will not be described. Using FIG. 13 or Table 3, the temperature standard deviation Y of the hot-rolled steel sheet H according to the steepness can be derived. For example, when the steepness is corrected to 2%, the evaluation in Table 3 is “B”, that is, the ratio of the vertical heat transfer coefficient that the difference of the standard deviation from the minimum value of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is within 10 ° C. X can be set to 1.1.

 同様に、例えば、図14に示すように、通板速度を5m/sec(300m/min)から20m/sec(1200m/min)まで段階的に変更させて、通板速度と熱延鋼板Hの冷却後の温度標準偏差Yとの相関関係を示すテーブルデータを求めておく。そして、実際の熱延鋼板Hの通板速度v(m/sec)に対する温度標準偏差Yを、内挿関数によって所定の通板速度に対する温度標準偏差Y’に補正する。具体的には、補正条件として所定の通板速度を10(m/sec)にする場合、通板速度v(m/sec)における温度標準偏差Yvに基づいて、下記式(2)で温度標準偏差Yv’が算出される。あるいは、例えば、図14における通板速度の勾配βを最小二乗法等で算出し、その勾配βを用いて温度標準偏差Yv’を算出してもよい。
Yz’=Yv×10/v・・・・(2)
Similarly, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 14, the sheet feeding speed is changed stepwise from 5 m / sec (300 m / min) to 20 m / sec (1200 m / min), and the sheet feeding speed and the hot rolled steel sheet H are changed. Table data indicating a correlation with the temperature standard deviation Y after cooling is obtained. Then, the temperature standard deviation Y with respect to the sheet passing speed v (m / sec) of the actual hot rolled steel sheet H is corrected to a temperature standard deviation Y ′ with respect to a predetermined sheet passing speed by an interpolation function. Specifically, when the predetermined sheet passing speed is set to 10 (m / sec) as the correction condition, the temperature standard is expressed by the following formula (2) based on the temperature standard deviation Yv at the sheet passing speed v (m / sec). Deviation Yv ′ is calculated. Alternatively, for example, the gradient β of the sheet feeding speed in FIG. 14 may be calculated by a least square method or the like, and the temperature standard deviation Yv ′ may be calculated using the gradient β.
Yz ′ = Yv × 10 / v (2)
 また、図15に示すV字曲線の回帰式において、通板速度を所定の通板速度に補正し、その回帰式から温度標準偏差Yを導出してもよい。なお、表4は、図14中の通板速度に対して、図15に示したように上下熱伝達係数比率Xを変動させた場合の熱延鋼板Hの温度標準偏差Y、各温度標準偏差Yから最小値Ymin(通板速度が5m/sの場合はYmin=1.2℃、通板速度が10m/sの場合はYmin=2.3℃、通板速度が15m/sの場合はYmin=3.5℃、通板速度が20m/sの場合はYmin=4.6℃)を差し引いた値(最小値からの標準偏差の差分)、及び各温度標準偏差Yの評価を示している。
この表4における上下熱伝達係数比率Xの表示と評価の基準については、表1の評価と同様であるので説明を省略する。この図15又は表4を用いて、通板速度に応じた熱延鋼板Hの温度標準偏差Yを導出できる。そして、例えば、通板速度を10m/secに補正する場合、表4における評価が“B”となる、すなわち熱延鋼板Hの最小値からの標準偏差の差分が10℃以内となる上下熱伝達係数比率Xを1.1に設定することができる。
Further, in the regression formula of the V-shaped curve shown in FIG. 15, the plate passing speed may be corrected to a predetermined plate passing speed, and the temperature standard deviation Y may be derived from the regression formula. Table 4 shows the temperature standard deviation Y and the temperature standard deviation of the hot-rolled steel sheet H when the vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X is varied as shown in FIG. 15 with respect to the sheet passing speed in FIG. Minimum value Ymin from Y (Ymin = 1.2 ° C when the plate speed is 5 m / s, Ymin = 2.3 ° C when the plate speed is 10 m / s, and 15 m / s when the plate speed is 15 m / s) Ymin = 3.5 ° C, Ymin = 4.6 ° C when the plate speed is 20m / s (the difference of the standard deviation from the minimum value), and the evaluation of each temperature standard deviation Y Yes.
The display and evaluation criteria for the upper and lower heat transfer coefficient ratio X in Table 4 are the same as those in Table 1 and will not be described. Using FIG. 15 or Table 4, the temperature standard deviation Y of the hot-rolled steel sheet H corresponding to the sheet passing speed can be derived. For example, when correcting the sheet passing speed to 10 m / sec, the evaluation in Table 4 is “B”, that is, the vertical heat transfer is such that the difference of the standard deviation from the minimum value of the hot rolled steel sheet H is within 10 ° C. The coefficient ratio X can be set to 1.1.

 以上のように温度標準偏差Yを補正することによって、熱延鋼板Hの急峻度や通板速度が一定でない場合でも、上下熱伝達係数比率Xに対する温度標準偏差Yの変化を定量的に正確に評価することができる。 By correcting the temperature standard deviation Y as described above, the change in the temperature standard deviation Y with respect to the upper and lower heat transfer coefficient ratio X can be quantitatively and accurately determined even when the steepness and the sheet passing speed of the hot-rolled steel sheet H are not constant. Can be evaluated.
 以上の実施形態において、冷却装置14で冷却された熱延鋼板Hの温度と波形状を測定し、その測定結果に基づいて、上側冷却装置14aの冷却能力と下側冷却装置14bの冷却能力を調整してもよい。すなわち、これら上側冷却装置14aと下側冷却装置14bの冷却能力をフィードバック制御してもよい。 In the above embodiment, the temperature and wave shape of the hot-rolled steel sheet H cooled by the cooling device 14 are measured, and the cooling capacity of the upper cooling device 14a and the cooling capacity of the lower cooling device 14b are determined based on the measurement result. You may adjust. That is, the cooling capacity of the upper cooling device 14a and the lower cooling device 14b may be feedback controlled.
 この場合、図16に示すように冷却装置14と巻取装置15との間には、熱延鋼板Hの温度を測定する温度計40と、熱延鋼板Hの波形状を測定する形状計41とが配置されている。 In this case, as shown in FIG. 16, a thermometer 40 that measures the temperature of the hot-rolled steel sheet H and a shape meter 41 that measures the wave shape of the hot-rolled steel sheet H are provided between the cooling device 14 and the winding device 15. And are arranged.
 そして、通板中の熱延鋼板Hに対し、温度計40と形状計41によって温度と形状をそれぞれ同一点で定点測定を行い、時系列データとして測定する。なお、温度の測定領域は、熱延鋼板Hの幅方向の全域を含む。また、形状とは、定点測定で観測される熱延鋼板Hの高さ方向の変動量を示す。さらに、形状の測定領域は、温度の測定領域と同様に熱延鋼板Hの幅方向の全域を含む。これらのサンプリングされた時間に通板速度を乗じると、温度及び変動速度などの測定結果の時系列データを圧延方向の位置に紐付けすることが可能となる。なお、温度計40と形状計41の測定点は厳密に同一点でなくてもよいが、測定精度を保つため、温度計40と形状計41の測定点のずれは、圧延方向にも板幅方向にも任意の方向に50mm以内であることが望ましい。 Then, the temperature and shape of the hot-rolled steel sheet H in the plate are measured at the same point by the thermometer 40 and the shape meter 41, and measured as time series data. The temperature measurement region includes the entire region in the width direction of the hot-rolled steel sheet H. Further, the shape indicates the amount of fluctuation in the height direction of the hot-rolled steel sheet H observed by fixed point measurement. Furthermore, the shape measurement region includes the entire region in the width direction of the hot-rolled steel sheet H, similarly to the temperature measurement region. By multiplying these sampled times by the sheet feeding speed, it becomes possible to link time-series data of measurement results such as temperature and fluctuation speed to the position in the rolling direction. The measurement points of the thermometer 40 and the shape meter 41 do not have to be exactly the same point. However, in order to maintain the measurement accuracy, the deviation between the measurement points of the thermometer 40 and the shape meter 41 is not limited in the rolling direction. The direction is preferably within 50 mm in any direction.
 図8、図9、図10及び図11を使って説明したように、熱延鋼板Hの定点での変動速度が正の領域で、定点での平均温度に対して熱延鋼板Hの定点での温度が低い場合には、上側冷却能力(上面冷却抜熱量)を小さくすることにより、温度標準偏差Yを低減することができる。同様に、下側冷却能力(下面冷却抜熱量)を大きくすることにより、温度標準偏差Yを低減することができる。この関係を利用すれば、温度標準偏差Yを低減させるために、冷却装置14の上側冷却装置14aと下側冷却装置14bのどちらの冷却能力を調整すればよいのかが明確になる。 As described with reference to FIGS. 8, 9, 10, and 11, the fluctuation rate at the fixed point of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is a positive region, and the fixed point of the hot-rolled steel sheet H with respect to the average temperature at the fixed point. When the temperature is low, the temperature standard deviation Y can be reduced by reducing the upper cooling capacity (upper surface cooling heat removal amount). Similarly, the temperature standard deviation Y can be reduced by increasing the lower cooling capacity (lower surface cooling heat removal amount). If this relationship is utilized, in order to reduce the temperature standard deviation Y, it becomes clear which cooling capacity of the upper cooling device 14a or the lower cooling device 14b of the cooling device 14 should be adjusted.
 すなわち、これらの熱延鋼板Hの波形状と紐付けられる温度の変動位置を把握すれば、現在発生している温度標準偏差Yが上側冷却あるいは下側冷却のどちらによって発生しているかを明らかにすることが可能となる。したがって、温度標準偏差Yを小さくするための上側冷却能力(上面冷却抜熱量)と下側冷却能力(下面冷却抜熱量)の増減方向(制御方向)が決定され、上下熱伝達係数比率Xを調整することができる。
また、温度標準偏差Yの大きさに基づいて、その温度標準偏差Yが許容範囲、例えば最小値Yminから最小値Ymin+10℃以内の範囲に収まるように上下熱伝達係数比率Xを決定することができる。この上下熱伝達係数比率Xを決定する方法は、図6及び図7を用いて説明した上記実施形態と同様であるので、詳細な説明を省略する。なお、この温度標準偏差Yを最小値Yminから最小値Ymin+10℃以内の範囲に収めることにより、降伏応力、引張強さなどのバラつきを製造許容範囲内に抑えられ、熱延鋼板Hを均一に冷却できる。
また、かなりのばらつきはあるものの、冷却水量密度比率が、温度標準偏差Yが最小値Yminとなる冷却水量密度比率に対して±5%以内であれば、温度標準偏差Yを最小値Yminから最小値Ymin+10℃以内の範囲に収めることができる。すなわち、冷却水量密度を用いる場合、冷却水量密度の上下比率(冷却水量密度比率)を、温度標準偏差Yが最小値Yminとなる冷却水量密度比率に対して±5%以内に設定することが望ましい。ただし、この許容範囲は必ずしも上下同水量密度を含むとは限らない。
That is, if the fluctuation position of the temperature associated with the wave shape of these hot-rolled steel sheets H is grasped, it becomes clear whether the temperature standard deviation Y currently generated is generated by the upper cooling or the lower cooling. It becomes possible to do. Therefore, the increase / decrease direction (control direction) of the upper cooling capacity (upper surface cooling heat removal amount) and the lower cooling capacity (lower surface cooling heat removal amount) to reduce the temperature standard deviation Y is determined, and the vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X is adjusted. can do.
Further, based on the magnitude of the temperature standard deviation Y, the vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio X can be determined so that the temperature standard deviation Y falls within an allowable range, for example, the range from the minimum value Ymin to the minimum value Ymin + 10 ° C. . The method for determining the upper and lower heat transfer coefficient ratio X is the same as that in the embodiment described with reference to FIGS. By keeping the temperature standard deviation Y within the range from the minimum value Ymin to the minimum value Ymin + 10 ° C, variations in yield stress, tensile strength, etc. can be kept within the manufacturing tolerances, and the hot-rolled steel sheet H can be cooled uniformly. it can.
In addition, although there is considerable variation, if the cooling water amount density ratio is within ± 5% of the cooling water amount density ratio at which the temperature standard deviation Y is the minimum value Ymin, the temperature standard deviation Y is minimized from the minimum value Ymin. The value can be kept within a range of Ymin + 10 ° C. That is, when the cooling water amount density is used, it is desirable that the ratio of the cooling water amount density (cooling water amount density ratio) is set within ± 5% with respect to the cooling water amount density ratio at which the temperature standard deviation Y is the minimum value Ymin. . However, this allowable range does not necessarily include the same upper and lower water density.
 以上のように上側冷却装置14aと下側冷却装置14bの冷却能力をフィードバック制御して定性的及び定量的に適切な冷却能力に調整できるので、その後冷却される熱延鋼板Hの均一性をより向上させることができる。 As described above, the cooling capacity of the upper cooling apparatus 14a and the lower cooling apparatus 14b can be feedback controlled to adjust the cooling capacity to an appropriate cooling capacity qualitatively and quantitatively. Can be improved.
 以上の実施形態において、図17に示すように、熱延鋼板Hが冷却される冷却区間を圧延方向に複数、例えば2つの分割冷却区間Z1、Z2に分割してもよい。各分割冷却区間Z1、Z2には、それぞれ冷却装置14が設けられている。また、各分割冷却区間Z1、Z2の境、すなわち分割冷却区間Z1、Z2の下流側には、温度計40と形状計41がそれぞれ設けられている。なお、本実施形態では、冷却区間を2つの分割冷却区間に分割したが、分割数はこれに限定されず任意に設定できる。例えば冷却区間を、1つ~5つの分割冷却区間に分割してもよい。 In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, the cooling section in which the hot-rolled steel sheet H is cooled may be divided into a plurality of, for example, two divided cooling sections Z1 and Z2 in the rolling direction. A cooling device 14 is provided in each of the divided cooling zones Z1 and Z2. In addition, a thermometer 40 and a shape meter 41 are provided at the boundary between the divided cooling zones Z1 and Z2, that is, downstream of the divided cooling zones Z1 and Z2. In the present embodiment, the cooling section is divided into two divided cooling sections, but the number of divisions is not limited to this and can be arbitrarily set. For example, the cooling section may be divided into 1 to 5 divided cooling sections.
 この場合、各温度計40と各形状計41によって、分割冷却区間Z1とZ2の下流側の熱延鋼板Hの温度と波形状をそれぞれ測定する。そして、これらの測定結果に基づき、各分割冷却区間Z1、Z2における上側冷却装置14a及び下側冷却装置14bの冷却能力を制御する。このとき、熱延鋼板Hの温度標準偏差Yが許容範囲、例えば上述したように最小値Yminから最小値Ymin+10℃以内の範囲に収まるように冷却能力が制御される。こうして、各分割冷却区間Z1、Z2における熱延鋼板Hの上面冷却抜熱量及び下面冷却抜熱量の少なくとも一方が調整される。 In this case, the temperature and the wave shape of the hot-rolled steel sheet H on the downstream side of the divided cooling zones Z1 and Z2 are measured by the thermometers 40 and the shape meters 41, respectively. And based on these measurement results, the cooling capacity of the upper side cooling device 14a and the lower side cooling device 14b in each division | segmentation cooling zone Z1, Z2 is controlled. At this time, the cooling capacity is controlled so that the temperature standard deviation Y of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is within an allowable range, for example, the range from the minimum value Ymin to the minimum value Ymin + 10 ° C. as described above. Thus, at least one of the upper surface cooling heat removal amount and the lower surface cooling heat removal amount of the hot-rolled steel sheet H in each divided cooling zone Z1, Z2 is adjusted.
 例えば、分割冷却区間Z1においては、その下流側における温度計40と形状計41の測定結果に基づいて、上側冷却装置14aと下側冷却装置14bの冷却能力がフィードバック制御され、上面冷却抜熱量及び下面冷却抜熱量の少なくとも一方が調整される。
また、分割冷却区間Z2においては、その下流側における温度計40と形状計41の測定結果に基づいて、上側冷却装置14aと下側冷却装置14bの冷却能力がフィードフォワード制御されてもよいし、或いはフィードバック制御されてもよい。いずれの場合においても、分割冷却区間Z2において、上面冷却抜熱量及び下面冷却抜熱量の少なくとも一方が調整される。
For example, in the divided cooling zone Z1, the cooling capacity of the upper cooling device 14a and the lower cooling device 14b is feedback-controlled based on the measurement results of the thermometer 40 and the shape meter 41 on the downstream side, and the upper surface cooling heat removal amount and At least one of the bottom surface cooling heat removal amount is adjusted.
In the divided cooling zone Z2, the cooling capacity of the upper cooling device 14a and the lower cooling device 14b may be feedforward controlled based on the measurement results of the thermometer 40 and the shape meter 41 on the downstream side, Alternatively, feedback control may be performed. In any case, at least one of the upper surface cooling heat removal amount and the lower surface cooling heat removal amount is adjusted in the divided cooling zone Z2.
 なお、温度計40と形状計41の測定結果に基づいて、上側冷却装置14aと下側冷却装置14bの冷却能力を制御する方法は、図8~図11を用いて説明した上記実施形態と同様であるので詳細な説明を省略する。 The method for controlling the cooling capacity of the upper cooling device 14a and the lower cooling device 14b based on the measurement results of the thermometer 40 and the shape meter 41 is the same as that in the above embodiment described with reference to FIGS. Therefore, detailed description is omitted.
 この場合、各分割冷却区間Z1、Z2のそれぞれにおいて、熱延鋼板Hの上面冷却抜熱量及び下面冷却抜熱量の少なくとも一方が調整されるので、より細やかな制御が可能となる。したがって、熱延鋼板Hをより均一に冷却することができる。 In this case, since at least one of the upper surface cooling heat removal amount and the lower surface cooling heat removal amount of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is adjusted in each of the divided cooling zones Z1 and Z2, finer control is possible. Therefore, the hot-rolled steel sheet H can be cooled more uniformly.
 以上の実施形態において、各分割冷却区間Z1、Z2のそれぞれにおいて、熱延鋼板Hの上面冷却抜熱量及び下面冷却抜熱量の少なくとも一方を調整する時に、温度計40と形状計41の測定結果に加えて、熱延鋼板Hの波形状の急峻度と通板速度の少なくとも一方を用いてもよい。この場合、図12~図15を用いて説明した上記実施形態と同様の方法で、少なくとも急峻度又は通板速度に応じた熱延鋼板Hの温度標準偏差Yが補正される。そして、この補正された温度標準偏差Y(Y’)に基づいて、各分割冷却区間Z1、Z2における熱延鋼板Hの上面冷却抜熱量及び下面冷却抜熱量の少なくとも一方が補正される。これにより、熱延鋼板Hをさらに均一に冷却することができる。 In the above embodiment, when adjusting at least one of the upper surface cooling heat removal amount and the lower surface cooling heat removal amount of the hot-rolled steel sheet H in each of the divided cooling zones Z1 and Z2, the measurement results of the thermometer 40 and the shape meter 41 are used. In addition, at least one of the steepness of the wave shape of the hot-rolled steel sheet H and the sheet passing speed may be used. In this case, the temperature standard deviation Y of the hot-rolled steel sheet H corresponding to at least the steepness or the sheet passing speed is corrected by the same method as the above-described embodiment described with reference to FIGS. Then, based on the corrected temperature standard deviation Y (Y ′), at least one of the upper surface cooling heat removal amount and the lower surface cooling heat removal amount of the hot-rolled steel sheet H in each divided cooling zone Z1, Z2 is corrected. Thereby, the hot-rolled steel sheet H can be cooled more uniformly.
 また、本実施形態によれば、熱延鋼板Hの板幅方向においても均一な形状や材質となるように仕上げることが可能となる。熱延鋼板Hの板幅方向の温度標準偏差は、圧延方向の温度標準偏差Yが左右交互に発生していることにより生じているため、圧延方向の温度標準偏差Yが低減されれば、板幅方向の温度標準偏差もより低減される。図18は、中伸びによって、熱延鋼板Hの板幅方向に振幅の異なる波形状が形成された様子の一例を示している。このように、板幅方向に振幅の異なる波形状が生じて、板幅方向に温度標準偏差が形成される場合であっても、上述した本実施形態によれば、この板幅方向の温度標準偏差を低減することが可能となる。 Further, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to finish the hot rolled steel sheet H so as to have a uniform shape and material in the sheet width direction. The temperature standard deviation in the sheet width direction of the hot-rolled steel sheet H is caused by the fact that the temperature standard deviation Y in the rolling direction is alternately generated on the left and right, so if the temperature standard deviation Y in the rolling direction is reduced, The temperature standard deviation in the width direction is further reduced. FIG. 18 shows an example of a state in which wave shapes having different amplitudes are formed in the plate width direction of the hot-rolled steel plate H by medium elongation. As described above, even when wave shapes having different amplitudes occur in the plate width direction and a temperature standard deviation is formed in the plate width direction, according to the above-described embodiment, the temperature standard in the plate width direction is formed. The deviation can be reduced.

 (実施例1)
 本願発明者は、実施例1として、板厚2.3mm、板幅1200mmのハイテン(いわゆる高張力鋼板)を材料とし、当該材料に中波形状、耳波形状をそれぞれ形成させ、その急峻度を0%(波形成無し)~2%までの種々の値に変更して冷却を行った場合の、後工程(即ち、冷延工程)における冷延ゲージ変動(板厚変動)と板幅方向平均温度変動を測定し、評価を行った。なお、本実施例1および以下に説明する実施例2、3では、便宜上、中波形状を形成した場合の急峻度を-0.5%~-2%と表し、耳波形状を形成した場合の急峻度を0.5%~2%と表した。
また、中波形状及び耳波形状の測定は市販の形状測定器を用いて測定したものであり、中波形状の測定箇所は板中央から左右30mm以内の板中央部であり、耳波形状の測定箇所は板端から25mmの箇所とした。更に、本実施例1においては、冷却時の上下冷却比(上下熱伝達係数比率)は上冷却:下冷却=1.2:1とし、通板速度を400m/min、鋼板の巻き取り温度(CT)を500℃とした。
その測定結果及び評価結果を以下の表5に示す。このとき、以下の実施例における評価基準としては、後工程における冷延ゲージ変動が0~25μmに抑えられたものをA(製品として良好)、25~50μmであったものをB(許容範囲)、50μm超であったものをC(製品不良)として評価している。なお、表5中の総合評価については、後述する。また、表5中には、参考のため鋼板圧延方向における各波形状の温度標準偏差も記載した。
(Example 1)
The inventor of the present application uses, as a material, high tension (so-called high-tensile steel plate) with a plate thickness of 2.3 mm and a plate width of 1200 mm as a material, and forms a medium wave shape and an ear wave shape in the material, respectively, and the steepness is determined. Cold rolling gauge fluctuation (sheet thickness fluctuation) and average in the sheet width direction in the subsequent process (ie, cold rolling process) when cooling is performed with various values ranging from 0% (no wave formation) to 2%. Temperature fluctuation was measured and evaluated. In Example 1 and Examples 2 and 3 described below, for the sake of convenience, the steepness when the medium wave shape is formed is represented as -0.5% to -2%, and the case where the ear wave shape is formed. The steepness was expressed as 0.5% to 2%.
Further, the measurement of the medium wave shape and the ear wave shape was measured using a commercially available shape measuring instrument, and the measurement location of the medium wave shape is the center portion of the plate within 30 mm on the left and right sides of the plate center. The measurement location was 25 mm from the edge of the plate. Furthermore, in Example 1, the vertical cooling ratio (vertical heat transfer coefficient ratio) at the time of cooling was set to upper cooling: lower cooling = 1.2: 1, the plate speed was 400 m / min, and the steel sheet winding temperature ( CT) was 500 ° C.
The measurement results and evaluation results are shown in Table 5 below. At this time, the evaluation criteria in the following examples are A (good as a product) in which the cold-rolling gauge fluctuation in the subsequent process is suppressed to 0 to 25 μm, and B (allowable range) in which 25 to 50 μm. In this case, the value exceeding 50 μm is evaluated as C (product defect). The comprehensive evaluation in Table 5 will be described later. In Table 5, the temperature standard deviation of each wave shape in the steel sheet rolling direction is also shown for reference.

 表5に示すように、鋼板に中波形状を形成した場合(表中、急峻度が-0.5%~-2%の場合)、冷延工程における冷延ゲージ変動は30μm~120μmであったのに対し、耳波形状を形成した場合(表中、急峻度が0.5%~2%の場合)、冷延工程における冷延ゲージ変動は21μm~84μmであった。即ち、同じ急峻度の波形状を鋼板に形成したとしても、中波形状を形成した場合に比べ、耳波形状を形成した場合の方が冷延工程における冷延ゲージ変動(即ち、板厚変動)が小さく抑えられることが分かった。 As shown in Table 5, when a medium wave shape is formed on the steel sheet (in the table, when the steepness is −0.5% to −2%), the cold rolling gauge fluctuation in the cold rolling process is 30 μm to 120 μm. On the other hand, when the shape of the ear wave was formed (when the steepness was 0.5% to 2% in the table), the cold rolling gauge fluctuation in the cold rolling process was 21 μm to 84 μm. In other words, even if the corrugated shape having the same steepness is formed on the steel sheet, the cold-rolling gauge fluctuation (i.e., the plate thickness fluctuation) in the cold-rolling process is more in the case where the ear wave shape is formed than in the case where the medium wave shape is formed. ) Was found to be small.
 また、表5の結果から、鋼板に中波形状を形成した場合と、耳波形状を形成した場合との板幅方向平均温度変動を比較すると、同じ急峻度でも、耳波形状を形成した場合の方が、中波形状を形成した場合に比べ板幅方向平均温度変動が低く抑えられていることが分かった。従って、中波形状を形成した場合に比べ、耳波形状を形成した場合には冷延時の鋼板幅方向の温度ムラが低減され、材質のバラツキが抑制されることが確認された。 Further, from the results of Table 5, when the average temperature fluctuation in the plate width direction is compared between the case where the medium wave shape is formed on the steel plate and the case where the ear wave shape is formed, the case where the ear wave shape is formed even with the same steepness It was found that the plate width direction average temperature fluctuation was suppressed to a lower level than when the medium wave shape was formed. Therefore, it was confirmed that the temperature unevenness in the width direction of the steel sheet during cold rolling was reduced and the variation in material was suppressed when the ear wave shape was formed compared to the case where the medium wave shape was formed.
 また、一般的に鋼板の冷延工程における板厚変動は、製品不良等の歩留まりの低下を抑えるために小さいほうが望ましい。従って、上記表5に示すように、鋼板に耳波形状を形成する場合において、その耳波形状の急峻度を0%超1%以内とすると、冷延ゲージ変動を小さい値(例えば、表5中の評価A、B)に抑えられることが分かった。更には、耳波形状の急峻度を0%超0.5%以内とすると、冷延ゲージ変動をより小さい値(例えば、表5中の評価A)に抑えられることが分かった。 In general, it is desirable that the plate thickness fluctuation in the cold rolling process of the steel plate is small in order to suppress a decrease in yield such as product defects. Therefore, as shown in Table 5 above, when an ear wave shape is formed on a steel sheet, if the steepness of the ear wave shape is more than 0% and within 1%, the cold-rolling gauge fluctuation is small (for example, Table 5). It was found that the evaluations A and B) can be suppressed. Furthermore, it was found that when the steepness of the ear wave shape is more than 0% and within 0.5%, the cold-rolling gauge fluctuation can be suppressed to a smaller value (for example, evaluation A in Table 5).
 (実施例2)
 次に、本願発明者は、実施例2として、上記実施例1と同様の材料に中波形状、耳波形状をそれぞれ形成させ、その急峻度を0%(波形成無し)~2%までの種々の値に変更して冷却を行った場合の、後工程(即ち、冷延工程)における冷延ゲージ変動(板厚変動)と板幅方向平均温度変動を測定し、評価を行った。なお、本実施例2では、通板速度を600m/minとし、その他の条件は実施例1と同一とした。その測定結果及び評価結果を以下の表6に示す。
(Example 2)
Next, the inventor of the present application forms a medium wave shape and an ear wave shape in the same material as in Example 1 as Example 2, and the steepness is 0% (no wave formation) to 2%. When cooling was performed by changing to various values, the cold-rolling gauge fluctuation (sheet thickness fluctuation) and the sheet width direction average temperature fluctuation in the subsequent process (that is, cold rolling process) were measured and evaluated. In Example 2, the sheet passing speed was 600 m / min, and the other conditions were the same as in Example 1. The measurement results and evaluation results are shown in Table 6 below.
Figure JPOXMLDOC01-appb-T000006
Figure JPOXMLDOC01-appb-T000006
 表6に示すように、上記実施例1と同様に、同じ急峻度の波形状を鋼板に形成したとしても、中波形状を形成した場合に比べ、耳波形状を形成した場合の方が冷延工程における冷延ゲージ変動(即ち、板厚変動)及び板幅方向平均温度変動が低く抑えられることが分かった。加えて、表5と表6を比較して分かるように、本実施例2では通板速度を600m/minと実施例1に比べ高速化したことにより、中波形状を形成した場合及び耳波形状を形成した場合の両方において、後工程での冷延ゲージ変動と板幅方向平均温度変動が低減される。即ち、通板速度を高速化することにより、鋼板と搬送ロールとの接触時間が短くなり、接触抜熱による冷却の不均一性が緩和されて均一な冷却が行われるため、後工程における冷延ゲージ変動と板幅方向平均温度変動が更に低減されることが実証された。 As shown in Table 6, even when the same steep wave shape is formed on the steel plate as in Example 1, the case where the ear wave shape is formed is cooler than the case where the medium wave shape is formed. It was found that the cold-rolling gauge fluctuation (ie, board thickness fluctuation) and the board width direction average temperature fluctuation in the rolling process can be kept low. In addition, as can be seen from a comparison between Table 5 and Table 6, in the second embodiment, the plate passing speed is 600 m / min, which is higher than that in the first embodiment. In both cases where the shape is formed, cold rolling gauge fluctuation and sheet width direction average temperature fluctuation in the subsequent process are reduced. That is, by increasing the sheet passing speed, the contact time between the steel sheet and the transport roll is shortened, and the non-uniformity of cooling due to contact heat removal is alleviated and uniform cooling is performed. It was proved that gauge fluctuation and average temperature fluctuation in the plate width direction were further reduced.
また、上記実施例1同様、冷延工程における板厚変動は、製品不良等の歩留まりの低下を抑えるために小さいほうが望ましい。従って、上記表6に示すように、鋼板に耳波形状を形成する場合において、その耳波形状の急峻度を0%超1.5%以内とすると、冷延ゲージ変動を小さい値(例えば、表6中の評価A、B)に抑えられることが分かった。従って、通板速度を高速化した場合は、耳波形状の制御範囲を1.5%にまで広げることも可能である。更には、耳波形状の急峻度を0%超0.5%以内とすると、冷延ゲージ変動をより小さい値(例えば、表6中の評価A)に抑えられることが分かった。 Further, as in the first embodiment, it is desirable that the plate thickness variation in the cold rolling process is small in order to suppress a decrease in yield such as product defects. Therefore, as shown in Table 6 above, in the case where an ear wave shape is formed on a steel sheet, if the steepness of the ear wave shape is more than 0% and within 1.5%, the cold-rolling gauge variation is small (for example, It was found that evaluations A and B) in Table 6 were suppressed. Therefore, when the plate passing speed is increased, the control range of the ear wave shape can be extended to 1.5%. Furthermore, it was found that when the steepness of the ear wave shape is more than 0% and within 0.5%, the cold-rolling gauge fluctuation can be suppressed to a smaller value (for example, evaluation A in Table 6).
 (実施例3)
 次に、本願発明者は、実施例3として、上記実施例1、2と同様の材料に中波形状、耳波形状をそれぞれ形成させ、その急峻度を0%(波形成無し)~2%までの種々の値に変更して冷却を行った場合の、後工程(即ち、冷延工程)における冷延ゲージ変動(板厚変動)と板幅方向平均温度変動を測定し、評価を行った。なお、本実施例3では、冷却時の上下冷却比(上下熱伝達係数比率)を上冷却:下冷却=1.1:1とし、その他の条件は上記実施例1と同一とした。その測定結果及び評価結果を以下の表7に示す。
(Example 3)
Next, the inventor of the present application forms a medium wave shape and an ear wave shape in the same material as in Examples 1 and 2 as Example 3, and the steepness is 0% (no wave formation) to 2%. In the case of cooling by changing to various values up to the above, the cold-rolled gauge fluctuation (sheet thickness fluctuation) and the sheet width direction average temperature fluctuation in the subsequent process (that is, cold rolling process) were measured and evaluated. . In Example 3, the vertical cooling ratio (upper and lower heat transfer coefficient ratio) during cooling was set to upper cooling: lower cooling = 1.1: 1, and the other conditions were the same as those in Example 1. The measurement results and evaluation results are shown in Table 7 below.

Figure JPOXMLDOC01-appb-T000007
 表7に示すように、上記実施例1と同様に、同じ急峻度の波形状を鋼板に形成したとしても、中波形状を形成した場合に比べ、耳波形状を形成した場合の方が冷延工程における冷延ゲージ変動(即ち、板厚変動)及び板幅方向平均温度変動が低く抑えられることが分かった。加えて、表5と表7を比較して分かるように、鋼板冷却時の上下冷却比を、上冷却:下冷却1.1:1とすることで、後工程での冷延ゲージ変動と板幅方向平均温度変動がより低減されることが分かった。即ち、鋼板冷却時の上下冷却比を1:1に近づけることで、後工程での冷延ゲージ変動と板幅方向平均温度変動をより低減させられることが確認された。 As shown in Table 7, even when the same steep wave shape is formed on the steel plate as in Example 1, the case where the ear wave shape is formed is cooler than the case where the medium wave shape is formed. It was found that the cold-rolling gauge fluctuation (ie, board thickness fluctuation) and the board width direction average temperature fluctuation in the rolling process can be kept low. In addition, as can be seen from a comparison between Table 5 and Table 7, by changing the vertical cooling ratio at the time of steel plate cooling to upper cooling: lower cooling 1.1: 1, cold rolling gauge fluctuation and plate in the subsequent process It was found that the average temperature variation in the width direction was further reduced. That is, it was confirmed that the cold rolling gauge fluctuation and the sheet width direction average temperature fluctuation in the subsequent process can be further reduced by bringing the vertical cooling ratio at the time of cooling the steel sheet close to 1: 1.
 また、本実施例3においても、上記実施例1同様、冷延工程における板厚変動は、製品不良等の歩留まりの低下を抑えるために小さいほうが望ましい。従って、上記表7に示すように、鋼板に耳波形状を形成する場合において、その耳波形状の急峻度を0%超1.5%以内とすると、冷延ゲージ変動を小さい値(例えば、表7中の評価A、B)に抑えられることが分かった。従って、鋼板冷却時の上下冷却比を、上冷却:下冷却=1.1:1とすることができる場合は、耳波形状の制御範囲を1.5%にまで広げることも可能である。更には、耳波形状の急峻度を0%超0.5%以内とすると、冷延ゲージ変動をより小さい値(例えば、表7中の評価A)に抑えられることが分かった。 Also in the third embodiment, as in the first embodiment, it is desirable that the variation in the plate thickness in the cold rolling process is small in order to suppress a decrease in yield such as a product defect. Therefore, as shown in Table 7 above, in the case where an ear wave shape is formed on a steel sheet, if the steepness of the ear wave shape is more than 0% and within 1.5%, the cold-rolling gauge variation is small (for example, It was found that evaluations A and B) in Table 7 were suppressed. Therefore, when the vertical cooling ratio at the time of cooling the steel sheet can be set to upper cooling: lower cooling = 1.1: 1, the control range of the ear wave shape can be expanded to 1.5%. Furthermore, it was found that when the steepness of the ear wave shape is more than 0% and within 0.5%, the cold-rolling gauge fluctuation can be suppressed to a smaller value (for example, evaluation A in Table 7).
 ところで、表5~表7において急峻度0%で評価がAである。急峻度0%にいつでも制御できればよいが、この急峻度0%で耳波形状と中波形状とでゲージ変動にかかるゲインを変更することになる。ゲインを常時変更するような制御はあまり好ましくないので、耳波形状の急峻度は、0.05%以上とする、あるいは0.1%以上とするなど、0%超となるように制御して熱延鋼板を冷却することが望ましい。このため、表5~表7において、急峻度0%の総合評価をCとしている。 Incidentally, in Tables 5 to 7, the evaluation is A with a steepness of 0%. It is only necessary to control the steepness to 0% at any time, but at this steepness of 0%, the gain related to gauge fluctuation is changed between the ear wave shape and the medium wave shape. Control that constantly changes the gain is not very preferable, so the steepness of the ear wave shape is controlled to be over 0%, such as 0.05% or more, or 0.1% or more. It is desirable to cool the hot-rolled steel sheet. For this reason, in Tables 5 to 7, the overall evaluation with a steepness of 0% is C.
 また、表5~表7において急峻度-0.5%又は-1%で評価がBである。しかしながら、上述したように急峻度が-0.5%以下は熱延鋼板に中波形状を形成した場合であって、後工程における冷延ゲージ変動を十分に抑えることができない。このため、表5~表7において急峻度-0.5%以下の総合評価をCとしている。 In Tables 5 to 7, the evaluation is B with a steepness of -0.5% or -1%. However, as described above, the steepness of −0.5% or less is a case where a medium-wave shape is formed on the hot-rolled steel sheet, and the cold-rolling gauge fluctuation in the subsequent process cannot be sufficiently suppressed. Therefore, in Tables 5 to 7, C is a comprehensive evaluation with a steepness of −0.5% or less.
