  • Patent number: 11858020
    Abstract: A method for producing a metallic strip or sheet, in which the strip or sheet is rolled in a multi-stand rolling mill and is discharged downstream of the last roll stand of the rolling mill in a conveying direction. The strip or sheet is cooled in the multi-stand rolling mill and/or downstream of the rolling mill as viewed in the conveying direction, wherein a temperature of the strip or sheet is measured upstream of the last roll stand of the rolling mill as viewed in conveying direction. Based on this measured temperature, a temperature for the strip or sheet at the exit of the last roll stand of the rolling mill is then determined by calculation with the aid of a temperature calculation model, with which further temperature processes of the manufacturing method can be controlled or regulated after a comparison with a predetermined reference value.

  • Publication number: 20230203612
    Abstract: A method for controlling or regulating the temperature of a steel strip in hot forming in a hot strip mill. A superordinate open-loop or closed-loop controller has a process model that predetermines the temperature development of the hot strip. The target values of the individual units are adjusted based on this predetermined temperature development.

  • Publication number: 20220176429
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a metallic strip or sheet (1), in which the strip or sheet (1) is rolled in a multi-stand rolling mill (11) and is discharged downstream of the last roll stand (14) of the rolling mill (11) in the conveying direction (F), wherein the strip or sheet (1) is cooled in the multi-stand rolling mill (11) and/or downstream of the rolling mill (11) as viewed in conveying direction (F), wherein a temperature of the strip or sheet (1) is measured upstream of the last roll stand (14) of the rolling mill (11) as viewed in conveying direction (F). Based on this measured temperature, a temperature for the strip or sheet (1) at the exit (A) of the last roll stand (14) of the rolling mill (11), is then determined purely by calculation with the aid of a temperature calculation model, with which temperature further processes of the manufacturing method can be controlled or regulated after a comparison with a predetermined reference value.
