Development of Strip Flatness and Crown Control Model for Hot Strip Mills Original Research Article

The strip flatness and crown control model is the foundation of automatic strip shape control. Considering the metal transverse flows and the inter stand second deformation, the trip flatness and crown control model has been developed, which can be applied to CVC mills and PC mills as well as normal four-high mills. The strip flatness and crown control model has high precision, and has been successfully applied to the automatic strip shape control system reconstruction of Tangshan Ganglu 1 250 mm hot strip plant.
