The effect of different roll shifting strategies on roll wear contour is studied by numerical simulation, and two evaluation indexes ,namely body smoothness and edge smoothness, are proposed. The average body smoothness and average rolling edge smoothness of all strips in a rolling campaign are taken as the objective functions, the shifting positions of all wide strips as the decision variables, and the multi-objective method of NSGA-II as the optimizer. Thus a multi-objective optimization model for the roll shifting strategy is built. The simulation results show that work roll shifting can make wear contour smooth,and a dish-shaped wear contour without severe local wear can be achieved by the roll shifting strategy with varying stroke. Optimization experimentation shows that by means of NSGA-II,a good Pareto-optimal front can be obtained, which suggests a series of alternative solutions for roll shifting strategy optimization. The experimentation also shows that there is a conflict between the two objectives. Finally, application cases confirm the feasibility of the multi-objective approach, which can improve the strip profile ,reduce edge waves and extend the rolling miles of a rolling campaign.展开更多

All the strips in a rolling campaign are divided into narrow strips and wide ones, and shifting position of narrow strips is obtained by the recursive method, and then shifting position of wide strips is optimized by NSGA-II which is a multiobjective genetic algorithm. For wide strips, a multi-objective optimization model of roll shifting strategy is pro posed, which takes 3 wear contour factors including edge smoothness, body smoothness and edge drop as optimization objectives. The Pareto optimal front of roll shifting strategy can be gained quickly by NSGA-II, which suggests a series of alternative solutions to roll shifting strategy. Analysis shows that the conflict exists among the 3 objectives. The final optimal solution is selected from the Pareto optimal solutions by the weighted-sum decision-making method. Industrial production proves the validity of the solution, and it can improve strip profile of alternately rolling, reduce strip edge wave, and extend the rolling miles of rolling campaigns.展开更多
