Controlling the material temperature during the rolling process is one of the key factors in ensuring the quality of the rolling and avoiding material cracking. Here are some methods for controlling material temperature:
1. Preheating treatment: Before rolling, the material can be preheated. The purpose of preheating is to increase the temperature of the material and reduce the risk of stress concentration and cracking during the rolling process. The preheating temperature should be determined based on factors such as the type, thickness, and rolling conditions of the material, and is generally controlled below the recrystallization temperature of the material.
2. Control heating temperature and time: If local heating is used for rolling, strict control of heating temperature and time is required. Excessive heating temperature or prolonged heating time may lead to excessive softening of the material, increasing the risk of cracking. The heating temperature and time should be reasonably set according to the properties of the material and the requirements of the coil.
3. Control the winding speed: The winding speed is also one of the factors that affect the material temperature. Excessive rolling speed may cause the material temperature to rise too quickly, increasing the risk of cracking. Therefore, the rolling speed should be reasonably controlled based on factors such as the thermal conductivity, thickness, and the ability of the rolling equipment, in order to maintain the material temperature within an appropriate range.
4. Monitoring material temperature: During the rolling process, a temperature measuring instrument can be used to monitor the temperature of the material in real time. This helps to detect temperature anomalies in a timely manner and take corresponding measures for adjustment. For example, if the material temperature is found to be too high, the rolling speed can be appropriately reduced or cooling measures can be increased to maintain the stability of the material temperature.
5. Cooling treatment: After the rolling is completed, the material needs to be appropriately cooled. The purpose of cooling is to eliminate residual stress and prevent material cracking during subsequent processing or use. The cooling method can be natural cooling or forced cooling, and the specific selection should be determined based on the properties and requirements of the material.
In summary, methods for controlling material temperature include preheating treatment, controlling heating temperature and time, controlling rolling speed, monitoring material temperature, and cooling treatment. In the process of rolling, these parameters should be reasonably selected and controlled based on factors such as material type, thickness, and rolling requirements to ensure that the material temperature is within an appropriate range, avoid cracking, and improve the quality of rolling.
