Brief description Strip shape performance at tandem cold mill. The shape of the strip at the cold mill are affected significantly by machine conditions and key process variables, and yet the inter-relationship between these key areas are not known and operators rely on trial-and-error methods to operate the mill. At high speeds, the shape of the strip leaving the mill is not good, causeing problems to rolling mills downstream. The project proposed here will integrate practical knowledge and numerical modeling of the strip shape of tandem cold mill at high speeds to optimise the quality of the strip exiting the cold mill, and enable the mill to operate at higher speeds than the current practice
