Abstract

In this paper, we propose an independent cooling control (ICC) scheme for high strength and atmosphere corrosion resisting steel to obtain the desired temperature and properties along the longitudinal direction of the steel in the run-out table (ROT) process. A temperature model of the independent process is developed to divide the ROT into front and back sections. The control concept uses field data, problem analysis, and a time-temperature transformation diagram. The effectiveness of the proposed control is verified using simulation results under a temperature disturbance by the transformation in the middle of the ROT. The results of a hot strip mill field test show that the temperature control performance is significantly improved by the proposed control scheme.

본 논문에서는 열간압연 ROT 공정에서 고강도 내후성강을 대상으로 압연 강판의 길이방향의 온도와 재질을 제어하기 위하여 독립냉각제어(ICC) 라는 새로운 제어개념을 제안하였다. ROT 공정을 전단냉각 및 후단냉각으로 분리하였으며, 각각의 독립공정에 대하여 온도제어 모델을 개발하였다. ICC 제어는 열간압연 공장의 온라인 데이터, 제어상의 문제점 및 내후성강의 TTT 선도로부터 도출하였다. 제안된 ICC 제어의 알고리즘은 변태발열에 의한 온도 외란을 이용하여 타당성을 검증하였다. 또한 열연공장에서 온라인으로 테스트 결과 강판의 온도제어 정도가 향상되었음을 입증하였다.
