Abstract

In order to evaluate the transverse thickness difference of cold-rolled strips according to the information of hot-rolled strips and scientifically guide the setting of the indicators of the hot-rolled silicon strip, the influence model about the relation of the transverse thickness difference of cold-rolled strip to the profile indicators of hot-rolled strip is established in this paper based on simulation results. The transverse thickness difference of cold-rolled strip predicted based on the influence model have strong correspondences to the measured data. Based on the influence model and the statistical analysis of the measured data, the control criterion of the profile indicators of hot-rolled silicon steel according to the requirements for the transverse thickness difference of cold-rolled strip are finally recommended. The simulation results show that the transverse thickness difference of cold-rolled strip is quadratic nonlinearly related to the wedge and crown of hot-rolled strip. The influence model and statistical data analysis indicate that reducing the edge-drop of hot-rolled strip is beneficial to restrain the transverse thickness difference of cold-rolled strip.
