Development of Cold Rolling Technology for High Thickness Accuracy and Excellent Tensile Property Sheet

A flying gauge change model in tandem cold strip mill

“…because of good mechanical properties and surface quality. With the customers' increasing of requirements for quality and quantity of the cold rolled strip, the continuous tandem cold strip mill becomes a main production mode for cold rolled strip instead of the traditional tandem cold mill with one coil threading rolling (Klaus and Joachim, 1991;Fukutake and Shiraishi, 1992;Shigematsu and Kaneko, 1997;Nakagawa et al, 1998;Reddy and Suryanarayana, 2001). Flying gauge change (FGC) is that the setup values of the width, thickness and steel grade of the preceding coil is changed to different setup values of the next coil without * Corresponding author.…”
