Mechanical Property Variations of the Strip in the Skin Pass Process after Hot Rolling

열연 강판의 정정공정에 따른 재질변화 예측기술

The Mechanical properties of steel in hot strip mill were associated with the various rolling conditions such as alloy composition, plastic deformation, cooling history and so on. After coiling process of strip which is the end of hot rolling process, the coil can be the final product or can be applied by another process, that is, cold rolling or skin pass rolling with the additional changes of mechanical properties. Skin pass rolling process with the small reduction affects the mechanical properties of the strip. Because many kinds of hot strips are delivered to the customers after the skin pass process, it is important for us to know the skin pass effects for the mechanical properties of the hot rolling strip. In this study, the variations of mechanical properties of the strip after the skin pass rolling will be discussed. Then, the mathematical model will be proposed for the prediction of mechanical properties of the final products with the comparison between measured and calculated values.
