The defects of hot-rolled steels distribute in different directions. Therefore, the methods of multi-scale geometric analysis （MGA） were employed to decompose the image into several directional subba^ds at several scales. Then, the statistical features of each subband were calculated to produce a high-dimensional feature vector, which was reduced to a lower-dimensional vector by graph embedding algorithms. Finally, support vector machine （SVM） was used for defect classification. The multi-scale feature extraction method was implemented via curvelet transform and kernel locality preserving projections （KLPP）. Experiment results show that the proposed method is effective for classifying the surface defects of hot-rolled steels and the total classification rate is up to 97.33%.展开更多

Formulating the Anand model in ANSYS software, we then simulated the stress field in the molten pool of type 304 stainless steel during the twin-roll casting process. Parameters affecting the stress distribution in the molten pool were analyzed in detail and optimized. After twin-roll casting, a large number of transgranular and intergranular cracks resided on the surface of the thin steel strip, and followed a tortuous path. In the molten pool, stress was enhanced at the exit and at the roller contact positions. The stress at the exit decreased with increasing casting speed and pouring temperature. To ensure high quality of the fabricated strips, the casting speed and pouring temperature should be controlled above 0.7 m/s and 1520℃, respectively.展开更多

文摘Continuous roll forming(CRF) is a novel forming process for three-dimensional surface parts,in which a pair of bendable forming rolls is used as sheet metal forming tool.By controlling the gap between the upper and lower forming rolls,sheet metal is non-uniformly extended in the longitudinal direction while it is bent in the transverse direction during the rolling process.As a result,longitudinal bending is gained and a doubly curved surface is formed.With the rotations of the forming rolls,the sheet metal is deformed consecutively,and a three-dimensional surface part is shaped continuously.In this paper,the mechanism of the three-dimensional surface formation in CRF is set forth.Through theoretical analysis of the CRF process,the governing equations for the bending deformation in rolling process are presented.Based on the simplification on the deformation and material model,the formulation to calculate the longitudinal bending deformation is derived,and the methods to design the compression ratio and the roll gap are given,the effects of compression ratio of rolling and the width of blank sheet on the longitudinal bending curvature are analyzed.The forming experiments on typical surface parts and measured results show that forming results with good precision can be obtained by CRF process.
