Abstract

The horizontal force acting on a work roll was examined. This force results from the contact force between the work roll and backup roll in a backup-roll-drive 4-high cold-rolling mill. This horizontal force bends the work roll horizontally and therefore exerts reciprocal action on the roll-gap contour. An analytical model for predicting the horizontal force acting on a work roll, which generates a mean value in the steady state, was presented. The material used for the analysis was high-silicon steel (about 3% Si). A three-dimensional finite element (FE) model was also employed to investigate the non-steady-state behavior of the horizontal force. Results showed that the horizontal force varied with the off-center distance between the work roll and backup roll. In addition, the optimal off-center distance was determined to minimize the horizontal force.

보강롤 구동 4 단 냉간압연기에서 작업롤과 보강롤 사이의 접촉력으로 인해 발생된 작업롤의 수평력을 고찰하였다. 본 수평력은 작업롤을 수평방향으로 휘게하고 롤갭 형상을 그 만큼 변화시킨다. 본 논문에서는 압연을 정상상태라고 가정하여 작업롤의 수평력을 예측할 수 있는 수식모델을 제시하였다. 해석에 사용된 소재는 고-실리콘(약 3%) 강판이었다. 수평력의 비-정상거동을 고찰하기 위해서 삼차원 유한요소모델을 채용하였다. 두 가지 모델을 이용하여 작업롤의 수평력은 보강롤의 중심으로부터 작업롤의 중심이 벗어난 길이에 따라 변한다는 결과를 얻었다. 그리고 작업롤의 수평력을 최소화 시킬 수 있는 작업롤의 최적 중심이탈 길이를 도출하였다.
