Automatic Control System of Hydraulic Tension Pilot Warm Rolling Mill

Abstract In order to meet the warm rolling demand and deal with the inefficiency of cold-rolled deformation metals such as high-strength steel, silicon steel and magnesium-nickel alloy, etc., The state key Laboratory of Rolling technology and Automation of Northeastern University(NEU-RAL) designed and manufactured a new pilot warm rolling mill that can achieve heating on line in the rolling process. This paper introduces equipment constitutes, and its main functions and features. The paper also describes its temperature control system, AGC system and ATC system during the warm rolling process in details. Multiple experiments have proven that the pilot warm rolling mill can not only simulate the actual production process to produce the hard-deformed metals, provide innovative technology, but also offer easy to use experimental equipment for steel industry researchers.
