A constitutive equation of the electrical steel strip used for a raw material of transformer is proposed. The stress-strain behavior of electrical steel strip is quite different from that of common carbon steel and/or alloy steel. A series of tensile tests were performed with the specimens made from cold rolled strip. Several thicknesses of the strip were produced by a two-high (with upper and lower rolls) cold rolling pilot mill as reduction ratio increases from 10% to 90%. Its initial thickness of the strip was 2.5mm. Tensile specimens are cut out from the cold rolled strips. Mechanical properties of the steel are examined through rolling direction. Ramberg-Osgood model and the proposed equation are combined to describe the total behavior of stress-strain including instability region. The stress-strain curves calculated from the present constitutive equation are compared with those from experimentally obtained at each test condition of reduction ratios of specimen. Results show that the predicted stress-strain curves are in overall in a good agreement with measured ones.

In this study, it was investigated the influence of cold rolling factors on the edge drop. Edge drop was highly affected by the shape of work roll, the amount of work roll shift and the crown of hot strip, but the effect of bending force at the front stand was relatively small. The used numerical model was examined by comparing to the result of measured field data, and it showed a qualitative agreement with each other.

Wire drawing is a metalworking process used to reduce the cross-section of a wire by pulling the wire through multi-stage drawing dies. The aim of this study is to fabricate a drawing wire using 2 stage drawing process. The finite element analysis of wire drawing was conducted to validate the efficiency of the designed process and the experiment was performed to validate the designed wire drawing process using 2 stage tungsten carbide die. Dry lubricant with powder was applied for producing a wire of desired diameter. Finally, a drawing wire using 2 stage die for cold rolling mill was developed.

This paper proposes a fault detection system to detect the strip rupture in six-high stand Cold Rolling Mills based on transient current signal of an electrical motor. For this work, signal smoothing technique is used to highlight precise feature between normal and fault condition. Subtracting the smoothed signal from the original signal gives the residuals that contains the information related to the normal or faulty condition. Using residual signal, discrete wavelet transform is performed and acquire the signal presenting fault feature well. Also, feature extraction and classification are executed by using PCA, KPCA and SVM. The actual data is acquired from POSCO for validating the proposed method.

A mathemetical medel has been developed for the purpose of estimating the rolling force required for computer control of cold strip mills. The model consists of equations of rolling force. flow stress. friction coefficient and tension. By applying the model to a 6-High cold tandem mill, the computer simulation is then been possible for all kinds of steels except stainless steel and the effectiveness of the model has been confirmed in the practice.

No. 1 PL(Pickling Line) and No. 1 TCM(Tandem Cold Rolling Mill) at Pohang works started up in 1977 and have been operating successfully keeping high productivity for productivity thin gauge sheat such as BP, CR and silicon steel. On the other hand, customer's requirements of quality level are rasing higher continuously, so that Pohang works has combined and revamped No. 1 PL and No. 1 TCM in order to improve labor productivity, thickness accuracy and shape control capability, and so on in the period of 1977∼1999. This paper introduce the applied facilities, technologies and recent operations after revamping.

A study on the spalling causes of work roll for cold rolling was performed in the cold rolling mill. Performance of work roll is dependent to a great extent on spalling sothat both roll manufactures and users show great interest in spalling. So this paper shows that spalling origin on the roll surface. As being well known, spalling mostlyoccurred due to developing fatigue fracture originated a crack on a roll. But such spalling can be prevented by proper roll maintenance, The spalling accidents have sharply decreased since 1981 because of the use of ultrasonic test to detect cracks on a roll.

We predict the rolled-strip profile for a 6-high mill using thin rolling theory and a numerical model. In the numerical model, we calculate the distributions of the contact pressures between the rolls and the rolling pressure between the strip and the work roll in the transverse direction using the geometric structure of the 6-high mill and the boundary conditions. We determine the distribution of the rolling pressure in the rolling direction via a thin-foil rolling model using Fleck's theory. We calculate the three-dimensional elastic deformation of the work roll using the pressures of the width and rolling directions. We then obtain the three-dimensional strip profile via the elastic deformation of the work roll during the rolling process. The profile is verified by a thin cold-rolling test and FE simulation.

(Ag-10%Ni)/Cu clad metals for electric contact switch were fabricated by cold-roll bonding process. 2 or 3 passes of cold-rolling was carried out for each process to investigate the effect of the rolling passes on the bonding property. The effect of the annealing temperature of copper before the cold-roll bonding on the bond strength was also studied. The specimen bonded with copper annealed below 30$0^{\circ}C$ before roll bonding showed good bond strength. This is because high stored energy in copper promoted the short range diffusion and the grain refinement of copper by the static recrystallization increased the degree of the interfacial coherency. The maximum peel strength of clad metals bonded with Cu annealed below 30$0^{\circ}C$ was 120N.
