Comparative analysis of hot‑rolled sheet rolling process modeling results in QForm VX environment with technical characteristics of the hot strip mill of JSC “Uzmetkombinat”

Abstract

The paper presents an analysis of the methodology for calculating the parameters of hot‑rolled low‑carbon steel strip on a 1600 wide strip mill. Based on the analysis, a computer program for quick calculation of rolling parameters has been developed. A solid‑state model was constructed and the rolling process was simulated in the QForm environment. A comparative analysis was carried out with the passport data of the “Danieli” unit based on the modeling results. The obtained modeling results do not exceed the maximum allowable deviations for rolling force and geometric parameters of the hot‑rolled strip.
