The roll contour pattern and variety of work and backup rolls in service and its effect on profile and flatness control performance in 1 700 mm hot strip mill at Wuhan Iron and Steel (Group) Corporation were tested and analyzed by the developed finite element models of different typical roll contours configurations. A rather smooth local work roll contour near strip edges and an increase in rolled length can be obtained by application of long stroke work roll shifting system with conventional work roll contours that is incapable of the crown control. In comparison with the conventional backup and work roll contours configuration, the crown control range by the roll bending force enhances by 12.79% and the roll gap stiffness increases by 25.26% with the developed asymmetry self-compensating work rolls(ASR) and varying contact backup rolls(VCR). A better strip profile and flatness quality, an increase in coil numbers within the rolling campaign and a significant alleviated effect of severe work roll wear contours on performance of edge drop control are achieved by the application of ASR with crown control and wear control ability in downstream stand F5 and VCR in all stands of 1 700 mm hot strip mill.

According to the requirement and condition of schedule-free rolling (SFR) for non-oriented electrical steel production with a large number of the same width strip rolling campaigns, asymmetry self-compensating work rolls (ASR) bending force mathematical model for different rolling schedules is established. Based on ANSYS software package, a 3D finite element model of roll stacks is established on the consideration of roll wear and thermal contour of work rolls. The effects of the bending force, the strip width, the rolling force, the diameters of backup and work rolls, the work roll shifting stroke on the loaded roll gap crown in rolling process are quantitatively analyzed. The developed ASR bending force mathematical model for different conditions is proved to be reasonable and has been applied to the 1700 hot strip mills.

The purpose of this article is to solve the uneven deformation problem of electrical steel strip caused by hightemperature phase transition during hot rolling process. The hot rolling process of electrical steel strip is built by ABAQUS software, importing the constitutive model of electrical steel. The effect of temperature drop in the edge of electrical steel strip on the profile and flatness of strip is studied. Simulation results show that the strip edge temperature drop has great effect on hot rolling process of electrical steel strip. When electrical steel strip is in single-phase state, the strip edge temperature drop can reduce the strip crown, but also lead to larger rolling pressure and local high point height in the strip edge. When electrical steel strip is in two-phase state, the local high point height in the strip edge does not exist, but the strip edge temperature drop can lead to larger strip crown.
