During tandem hot rolling (THR), the rolling force plays an important role in strip shape control, but the influence mechanism of the rolling force on the strip shape is still currently unclear. This paper proposes a novel 3D multi-stand coupled thermo-mechanical finite element (FE) model for the THR developed employing a segmentation modelling strategy and data transfer technologies. This developed FE model has been validated by industrial experiments. Besides, the effects of rolling force on the strip shape (including strip crown and flatness) in the THR have been quantitatively studied. Res...

The strip shape inheritance model is widely applied to improve the strip shape quality in tandem cold rolling (TCR). However, the inheritance mechanism is still currently unclear. To bridge this gap, this paper presents a new numerical method for calculating the strip crown inheritance factor. In addition, the effects of the entry strip crown on exit strip crown and flatness were quantitatively analysed at each stand in the TCR using a novel three-dimensional (3D) multi-stand elastic–plastic finite element (FE) model. The results show that the strip crown inheritance factor increases slowly ...
