The influences of each factor on exit thickness under different tension control methods were analyzed. The results show that, the influence of the entry stand gap on exit thickness is significant and it changes little with different tension control methods. As a result, the entry stand gap can be used as the main control method of exit thickness, whereas rolling speed of any stand and roll gap of the exit stand can be used to adjust the inter-stand tension. The results are beneficial for thickness and tension control of the two stands reversible cold rolling mill.展开更多

The combined effects of cooling patterns after hot rolling （HR） and cold rolling （CR） reductions show： （1） as the cooling pattern varied from furnace cooling （FC） to oil quenching （OQ）, the intercritically annealed microstructure was dramatically refined and the fraction of recrystallized ferrite dropped, regardless of CR reductions. This resulted in both high yield/ultimate tensile strengths （YS/UTS） but low total elongation to fracture （El）; （2） as the CR reduction increased from 50% to 75%, the OQ-samples after annealing exhibited a more refined microstructure with relatively higher fractions of retained austenite and sub-structure, leading to higher YS and UTS but lower El; whereas the FC samples appeared to exhibit little difference in overall tensile properties in both cases. The differences in microstructural evolution with cooling patterns and CR reductions were explained by the calculated accumulated effective strain （eAES）, which was considered to be related to degrees of recovery and recrystallization of the deformed martensite （α＇）. The optimal tensile properties of -1 GPa YS and -40 GPa.% UTSxEI were achieved in the OQ-50%CR annealed samples at 650 ℃ for 1 h. This was quite beneficial to large-scale production of ultra-high strength steels, owing to its serious springback during heaw cold working.展开更多
