3. Main Process Flow
Slab Heating: Slabs are heated to approximately 1250°C in a walking beam furnace.
Descaling: A high-pressure water descaling unit removes the primary oxide scale from the heated slab surface.
Roughing Rolling: The scaled slab is rolled in an 8-stand roughing mill (arrangement: 1 Vertical, 2 Horizontal, 1 Vertical, 2 Horizontal, 1 Vertical, 1 Horizontal) into an intermediate strip with a thickness of 28–35mm.
Crop Shearing: A flying shear crops the head of the intermediate strip to facilitate entry into the finishing mill.
Finishing Rolling: The intermediate strip is rolled to the final thickness in a 10-stand finishing mill (1 Vertical, 9 Horizontal). A secondary descaling unit is located after the first finishing stand (E4) to remove secondary scale.
Cooling and Coiling: The finished strip is cooled on a flat chain conveyor and then coiled by a vertical, shrink-core-type coiler. The coils are then transferred to a conveyor chain for final handling and storage.
4. Core Technical Features
Fully Continuous Layout: Features a continuous setup with"off-head"rolling between the roughing and finishing mills for high production efficiency.
High-Precision Control Systems:
Gauge Control: All F1-F9 finishing stands are equipped with hydraulic AGC (Automatic Gauge Control) for precise thickness control.
Width Control: The E1-E4 vertical edgers utilize hydraulic AWC (Automatic Width Control) and SSC (Short Stroke Control) for superior width accuracy.
Tension Control: Eight low-inertia electric loopers between the finishing stands ensure constant micro-tension rolling for improved shape and dimensional stability.
Advanced Instrumentation: The line is equipped with imported thickness gauges and width gauges after the finishing mill for real-time monitoring and control of product quality.
Temperature Management: Insulation covers between the roughing and finishing mills minimize temperature loss of the intermediate strip. The final rolling temperature is controlled between 850°C and 950°C.
Efficient Coiling: A robust vertical, shrink-core-type coiler handles strip at speeds up to 15 m/s, with a maximum coil weight of 6 tons.
Drive and Lubrication: Main mill stands are driven by DC motors. The roll systems and bearings use advanced oil-air lubrication for reliability and longevity.
