Practical Use of Computer Model STAN 2000 for Improvement and Creation of Regimes for Hot Rolling of Steels on SEVERSTAL Mill 2000

Abstract:

An integral computer model STAN 2000 designed for of-line simulation and control of hot rolling on mill 2000 of SEVERSTAL was developed. The capabilities of the model include the following features: ‒ calculations of power parameters for all stands of mill 2000 for a given rolling schedule; ‒ strip temperature calculations depending on selected rolling and accelerated cooling regimes; ‒ follow-up of steel microstructure evolution at all stages of strip production and prediction of ultimate mechanical properties (yield stress, ultimate tensile stress, relative elongation and toughness); ‒ optimization of rolling regimes for existing steel grades and developing them for a new one. The STAN 2000 program is written in С++ programming language and can work on all modern Microsoft Windows family operating systems. The program has a well-designed and user-friendly interface facilitating its practical use. The integral model was calibrated using an extensive data base on rolling regimes and forces, measured temperatures and final mechanical properties for a number of steel grades rolled on mill 2000 of SEVERSTAL with chemical compositions covering the following range of alloying elements content (mass.%): С(≤0.65); Mn(≤2.0); Si(≤1.0); Cr(≤0.9); Ni(≤0.6); Cu(≤0.5); Mo(≤0.4); Nb(≤0.05); V(≤0.065); Ti(≤0.06); B(≤0.003). The examples of STAN 2000 program use in practice of industrial hot strip production on mill 2000 of SEVERSTAL are presented and discussed.
