To evaluate the MCWR process and better understand its deformation characteristics, the material flowing mechanisms, temperature distributions, strain and rolling force were analyzed. The correctness of the finite element simulation is experimentally verified. Numerical simulations and experiments led to the following conclusions: when α=36° and β=7.5°, the quality of the work piece can be significantly improved. Finally, the development of the asymmetric stepped shaft is applied to industrial production.展开更多

There is a horizontal movable plate beneath the outlet. The clearance between the outlet and the plate is about several hundred micrometers. SRCFMM, similar to additive manufacturing, implies layer by layer shaping and consolidation of feedstock to arbitrary configurations, normally using a computer controlled movable plate. The primary dendritic crystal is easily crushed by movement of substrate in the rolling-casting area. ZL104 was used as the test materials, determining the control temperature by differential scanning thermal analysis(DSC), preparing a kind of samples by SR CFMM, then analyzing microstructures and mechanical property of the samples. Characteristics and distribution of the primary particles were assessed by optical microscopy(OM), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), energy dispersive spectrum(EDS) and image analysis software. Mechanical property of the samples was assessed by vickers hardness. The results show that the samples fabricated by SRCFMM have uniform structures and good performances with the velocity of the substrate controlled about 10 cm/s and temperature at about 580 ℃.展开更多

The main drives together with the mill stands play a key role in the success of rolling mills.The crucial demands placed on the drive system are:high-dynamic performance of drive and its control system,ability to handle the process related overloads,smooth running,high availability,high efficiency,easy serviceability and ability to integrate seamlessly with the automation systems.With numerous reference installations and many years of experience Siemens VAI has the wider expertise and the portfolio to provide the right drive for every application. This paper examines the latest innovation,SINAMICS drive technology,for both new drive applications as well as for modernizing the existing drives in rolling mill applications like hot strips mills,plate mills,cold rolling mills,and long rolling mills.展开更多
