Improving the Performance of Profiles Straightener SIMAC RD750 on Rolling Mill HCC at ArcellorMittal

摘要

In the process of manufacturing rolled steel profiles is straightening of cooled profiles a very important part of the production. In order to increase production efficiency, on heavy rolling mill at ArcelorMittal Ostrava, a study was created which aimed to determine if of the straightener it is possible to straight bigger profiles than for which was the straightener originally designed. The study included the current status detection, analysis of straightening principle, analysis of forces acting on straightener and proposed measures to increase the straightening efficiency. This article describes the conduct and results of this study.
