The hot rolled strip thickness accuracy sometimes can not be guaranteed after a long time for waiting for slabs or other reasons. The reason is when rolling, the rollgap adaptive model has considered the thermal expansion of the roll. So when rolling is restarted, thermal expansion of the rolls must be cleared in order to accurately calculate the setup rollgap value. The finite element software ANSYS is used to calculate the temperature field and thermal expansion amount of the rolls in the rolling process. Application results show that this method can improve the accuracy of strip thickness.
