Numerical Simulation Research on the Temperature Field and Hot Roll Crown Model of Hot Continuous Rolling Mills

Addressing the challenge of roll loss and strip deformation arising from the lack of precise prediction of the roll temperature field in hot tandem rolling mills, this study employs numerical analysis via the finite difference method. Based on the roll temperature field and hot roll crown model, an intelligent support cooling control system for the roll cooling water of hot rolls is established. This system comprehensively considers the direct impact of specific parameters on the roll temperature field in the intricate context of cooling water dynamics. The study focuses on the cyclic superposition effect of rolling coil quantities on the roll temperature field and the resulting hot roll shape, and theoretical calculations along with simulation analyses were conducted using finite element software. Through the integration of field-measured values, the study achieves accurate predictions of the temperature field and hot roll profile for both work rolls and backup rolls.
