Hot Sheet Rolling
A revolutionary cooling model for hot strip mills computes — as a cyberphysical system — temperatures, enthalpies, phase fractions and microstructure from the roughing mill to the coiler in real time. It controls not only the coiling temperature, but the transfer bar temperature, the finishing mill exit temperature and the water management system in a comprehensive approach. The transfer bar cooling device, finishing mill speed, power cooling and laminar cooling valves, and pump speeds work as actuators. The pilot application was implemented at the thyssenkrupp Hot Strip Mill No. 1 in Bruckhausen, Germany, and results are presented here for the first time.
