The transverse compressive stress,the buckling formation during strip traveling process,the location for the buckling taking place and the buckling criterion were investigated systematically.The result shows that the transverse compressive stress increases with the increase of the tensile stress and the crown of the tapered roll. Because the contact area between the tapered roll and the strip increase with the decrease of the crown,the tensile stress distribution is more homogeneous in the transverse direction of the strip.An additional transverse compressive stress is created and a buckling is also observed due to the friction during the strip motion in the second step.Once the buckling is appearance,it is very hard to be removed only through decreasing the applied longitudinal tension,because the strip wrinkle still keeps high level due to the effect of the buckled strip,the wrinkle would evolve into buckling eventually.The buckling formation process predicted by the finite element model is very similar to those observed in industrial processing lines.It takes place on the cylindrical part of the tapped roll and the buckling is moving to the middle part of the tapped roll with the increase of the crown,its width is about 2-4 mm.The criterion for the buckle occurrence is also discussed,in the prescribed situation,the transverse shell curvature increases with the strip displacement,if the transverse shell curvature reaches 0.1 mm^(-1), the buckling would take place.展开更多

Secondly,for the continuous annealing line,there are more strict requirements for the continuity of production and more special requirements for the drive control characteristics.We do a lot of improvement and standardization for the driving control functions and the interfaces of the line automation control system. This paper discusses the communication interface specifications and the dimension transformation methods between the drive and the basic automation system.The detail dimension transformation methods and calculation method about the line speed setting and the actual roller dimension setting are given,and detail description for the calculation method of the reference speed in the drive.Article also emphasized illustrates realizing and testing methods of inertia compensation of equipment in the drives,and standardize the value of line accelerate and decelerate rate,and the inertia test method and inertia compensation coefficient calculation method is introduced in this paper.For the bridge rollers and furnace help rollers load balance control,this paper presents two different load balance control strategies,the load balance control principle for bridge rollers which data communicates from main station to slave stations by Simolink,and the load balance control principle for furnace help rollers which use droop control.The different characteristics of those two methods are stated in detail.展开更多

Solving production sequences with both number of setups and material usage rates to the minimum rate will optimize the level schedule. Miltenburg algorithm (1989) is first used to get seed sequence to optimize further. For this the utility time of the line and setup time requirement on each station is considered. This seed sequence is optimized by simulated annealing. This investigation helps to understand the importance of utility in the assembly line. Up to 15 product sequences are taken and constructed by using randomizing method and find the objective function value for this. For a sequence optimization, a meta-heuristic seems much more promising to guide the search into feasible regions of the solution space. Simulated annealing is a stochastic local search meta-heuristic, which bases the acceptance of a modified neighboring solution on a probabilistic scheme inspired by thermal processes for obtaining low-energy states in heat baths. Experimental results show that the simulated annealing approach is favorable and competitive compared to Miltenburg’s constructive algorithm for the problems set considered. It is proposed to found 16,985 solutions, the time taken for computation is 23.47 to 130.35, and the simulated annealing improves 49.33% than Miltenberg.展开更多

Meanwhile, a three-dimensional mathematical model of aluminum holding furnace linings was developed and integrated with user-defined heat load distribution regime model. The optimal combination was as follows: side wall with 80 mm alumino-silicate fiber felts, 232 mm diatomite brick and 116 mm chamotte brick; top wall with 50 mm clay castables, 110 mm alumino-silicate fiber felts and 200 mm refractory concrete;and bottom wall with 232 mm high-alumina brick, 60 mm clay castables and 68 mm diatomite brick. Lining temperature from high to low was successively bottom wall, side wall, and top wall. Lining temperature gradient in increasing order of magnitude was refractory layer and insulation layer. It was indicated that the results of combination optimization of aluminum holding furnace linings were valid and feasible, and its thermo-physical mechanism and cost characteristics were reasonably revealed.展开更多
