Abstract

Language:

To address severe flatness control failure of cold rolled strips under ultra-high rolling force, a collaborative bending force multi-objective optimization strategy based on surrogate models is proposed for a 1450 six-high tandem cold mill. Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) is adopted to generate process sample points, and Gaussian process regression (GPR) and radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) are constructed as fast surrogate models to replace time-consuming ABAQUS finite element simulation. NSGA-II and particle swarm optimization (PSO) are combined to perform global constrained optimization of work roll bending (WRB) and intermediate roll bending (IRB) forces, aiming to minimize transverse thickness deviation, quadratic/quartic strip crown, flatness residual error and rolling force unevenness simultaneously. Finite element verification shows that under high rolling force of 25000 kN, the optimized collaborative bending force combination reduces strip transverse thickness difference from 18 μm to 6 μm, quadratic crown from +11 μm to −5 μm, quartic crown.
