Abstract: The classical approach for roll pass design of a wire rod mill employs an iterative technique incorporating spread calculation and rectangular equivalent pass methods. This method comes to its limits in terms of computational efficiency and numerical stability when a complete pass design for a wire rod mill with lots of different final dimensions and materials must be designed. To improve the pass design technique, a fast data-driven method for pass design based on synthetic data generated by the classical pass design model was created. The results are compared to the original training data, as well as newly generated test data. It is shown that the artificial neural network (ANN) is able to predict appropriate oval groove geometries with good precision.

Abstract: The present article discusses the cylindrical mandrel wear change during rolling using MISIS - 130 D mill depending on the type of rolled billets materials used. The research on the mandrel wear of the screw rolling mill during pipes elongation was carried out using the finite element method (FEM). The results of the wear modeling showed that the depth of the metal removed on the mandrel surface during stainless steel pipes elongation was higher as compared to alloyed and carbon steel pipes. The significant wear of the mandrel during stainless steel pipe rolling can be explained by the rise in the applied metal force resulting from the introduction of alloying components such as chromium and nickel into rolled billets materials. Consequently, the obtained modeling results can allow predicting the service life of working tools.

Abstract: The paper discusses the specific aspects of hot rolled seamless pipes manufacture using pipe rolling plants including screw-rolling mills. The method of accuracy enhancement of pipe dimensions, as well as external and internal surface quality improvement, is proposed. The article specifies the results of computer and physical modeling of the pipes mandreling process. The application of the mandreling process within the cage using different diameter mandrels is shown. We managed to decrease the typical mark caused by the metal deformation, due to the screw-rolling mill and to manufacture pipes with more accurate dimensions, as a result of the mandreling process modeling. The results of the physical experiment on mandreling the shell pierced at the screw-rolling mill showed a positive effect from the process of hollow billet cold treatment using the mandrel.

Abstract: A procedure has been developed for calculating the geometric, kinematic and energy-power parameters of helical rolling, which allows a comparative analysis of the processes carried out in stands of various designs. Based on the results of this analysis, a helical rolling mill was designed and manufactured which allows to roll materials with high deformation resistance at high temperatures. The results of the study of the mechanical characteristics of molybdenum bars and wires made by new technology are presented.

Abstract: The article presents an automated control system for a screwdown mechanism of a laboratory rolling mill DUO-130 developed by NPI 'Practice Equipment and Technologies', SUSU (NRU). A specific feature of the system under consideration is its integrity into control system of the whole rolling mill. The article describes the operating principle of a screwdown mechanism regulated by a step motor and advantages of the chosen control method. It also gives the structure and operating principle of the control system of a servo drive that ensures regulating of a screwdown mechanism. It also presents the process of calculating the determination precision and positioning the upper roller of a roller plate.

Abstract: Heavy industry, industrial plants and technology facilities use really big manufacturing units or assemblies with the weight of tens of tons. In case of rotary kilns, the weight can reach hundreds of tons. During the production process, those units move, creating, in addition to considerable static effects, big dynamic effects. Industrial facilities often face failures of the reinforced concrete foundation which is loaded dynamically by a rotating machine. Such failures typically result in cracks and failures of any of the foundation cross-section. Thus, a part of the foundation starts deviating, the rigidity goes down, geometry of the machine position is changing and an accident may occur - for instance, bearings may fail or malfunctions may occur in the machine. This has also happened in the case described in this article. The subject of the article is the large foundation structure of the rolling device in the Block Mill I in Třinecké železárny a.s. The slab of the foundation structure is approximately a T-shape, which has nearly 43 m in one direction and over 30 m in the other direction. The monolith foundation slab will be 2.0 m thick, the whole foundation structure will be 2.0 - 8.0 m thick. With such an extensive foundation, considerable attention must be paid not only to the design and realization, but also to the effect of the hydration heat.

Abstract: It has been proven that the introduction of the systems for continuous control of the equipment technical state is a necessary requirement of the modern maintenance of the critical equipment. The paper proposes the list of the processing facilities applied within the development systems for technical state control. The task of development of the system for recording, storing and displaying oscillographs of the automated electric drives of the wide-strip hot-rolling mill has been defined. The paper offers the analysis of the recording system based on the remote I/O controllers and the system with distributed industrial computers. The most informative-significant signals are listed. The network topology of the decentralized system implemented at the 2,500 mm wide-strip hot-rolling mill of OJSC Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works is suggested. Oscillographs of the main coordinates of the mill's electric drives obtained by means of the introduced system are provided.

Abstract: Gear design is a state of art in mechanical design topic. In this paper, the systematic gear design concept was used to design the double output shaft gearbox for rolling mill, the aim to reduce cost of production. The design process starts from receive the requirement data, elaborate the data to the design specification. Make a conceptual design, embodiment design or preliminary design and finally detailed design. The all design methodology has suggested systematic decision-making procedures for early stages of the design. The design result is leading to change from the traditional two stage gearbox into the single stage gearbox ratios 1:2.3.

Abstract: The vibration of the fifth frame mill of 1450 Cold Tandem Rolling Mill in the rolling process was studied using finite element software ANSYS. The dynamic analysis of one-piece frame and two-piece frame on the fifth frame mill were carried on. The natural frequency and mode of vibration were calculated. Through analyzing, we obtained that two-piece frame performed better.
