Multi-parameter coupled subsection cooling regulation characteristics of work rolls in aluminum cold rolling

A coupled heat transfer model of work rolls and an aluminum strip is established to obtain the multi-parameter coupled subsection cooling regulation characteristics of work rolls in aluminum cold rolling. This coupled model includes building the thermal conduction differential equation of the work rolls and strip,solving the strip deformation heat and friction heat,establishing the heat transfer boundary conditions,calculating the work roll thermal crown,and solving the differential equations by using a two-dimensional alternating difference method. Simulation results show that the positive and negative adjustment domains are approximately equal at the same rolling parameters,but each domain is affected by rolling parameters. The increase of rolled length,header pressure and friction coefficient has positive effect on the subsection cooling control ability,while the rolling speed is on the contrary.
