Application of Queuing Theory in Production Efficiency of Direct Rolling Process of Long Product

Abstract:

Based on the mathematical method of queuing theory, the queuing model of billets in the direct rolling process of the long product was established, which represented the conveying process of billets at the casting and rolling interface. Using the billets queuing model, the influence of different steel quantity, length, speed and other factors on the average waiting time of a single billet in the direct rolling production process was analyzed. Combined with the temperature drop of billets, the optimal average waiting time for a single billet was determined. The method improved the conveying connection efficiency of the casting-rolling interface and the direct rolling rate of billets.
