Research on Multi-System Coupling Vibration of a Hot Tandem Mill.

Vibration in hot tandem rolling mills has been a problem in the iron and steel industry mainly due to its unpredictability. In this work, vibration data of the second finishing mill (F2) stand of a hot tandem rolling mill are collected and analyzed, and a mathematical model based on the coupling of a non-uniform deformation process, mill structure and hydraulic control system is constructed. The influence of different inlet thickness fluctuation forms, structural parameters and control parameters on the vibration behavior is analyzed. It is concluded that the low-frequency thickness fluctuation with additional skewness can cause the resonance of each subsystem of the rolling mill. The deviation angle of the roll system influences the vibration harmonic output of the rolling mill under a single low-frequency thickness fluctuation excitation. The compensation parameter in the thickness control system affects the natural frequency of the vertical system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
