Shape control is the key technology for thin gauge stainless steel in hot rolling. Because of high rolling force,work roll can suffer from serious uneven wears, edge drop of strip temperature and so on. And in turn these imperfectionslead to defects in thin gauge stainless steel production, such as big crown value, quarter wave, edge profile anomalies,poor rolling stability. In order to improve shape the control ability, one will have to eliminate the quarter wave, make rollwear uniform, increase rolling stability in the thin gauge stainless steel production, use high performance variable crowntechnology in upstream stands, use mixed variable crown technology in last stand, and use conventional work roll withvariable shifting stroke strategy in other downstream stands. The above technologies have been successfully applied inseveral stainless steel productions, which have completely independent intellectual property rights, and the crown controlprecision of thin gauge stainless is 98.1%, flatness control precision is 97.5%, also a 1260 mm × 1.6 mm ultra-thin gaugestainless steel was successfully developed.
