I. Definition and Functions

Steel rolling mills are mainly used in the rolling process of metal materials, applying pressure to metal billets through rolls to produce plastic deformation and obtain metal products of the required shape, size and performance. They are widely used in the processing and production of steel, nonferrous metals and other metal materials.

Structure and Composition

Steel rolling mills usually consist of the following main parts

Working machine base: includes the machine frame and rail seats, which are used to install and support the rolls and transmission equipment. The frame must be strong and rigid enough to withstand the enormous pressure of the rolling process.

Transmission device: Includes electric motors, reduction gears, etc., to drive the rotation of the rolls. The electric motor transfers power to the rolls through the reduction gear to realize the rolling process.
Work Roll: The core component of a rolling mill, used to roll metal billets. The material, shape, and size of the rolls must be selected according to rolling requirements.

Roll bearing: Supports the rolls and keeps them in a fixed position in the frame. Sufficient strength and rigidity, low coefficient of friction, and good heat dissipation characteristics are required.

Roll adjusting device: Used to adjust the roll gap size to control the cross-sectional size of rolled metal products.

Roll changing device: Includes roll changing carts, roll changing rails, etc., to quickly change rolls and improve production efficiency.

Principle of Operation
In steel rolling machines, when metal billets pass through the roll gap, they are squeezed by the rolls, producing plastic deformation. With the rotation of the rolls, the metal billet is gradually stretched, pressed thinner, and finally obtains the required shape and size. The rolling process increases the load on the motor as the motor is subjected to the reaction forces of the rolled parts. As a result, the motor drive current increases, producing a reverse rotational torque on the motor. This allows the motor to shift to a stop state where the motor is in a power generation braking state without changing the steering state.

Classification and Applications
Steel sheet rolling mills can be classified according to various factors such as rolling method, number of rolls, and rolling material. Common types of rolling mills include 2-roll, 4-roll, and multi-roll mills. These rolling mills are widely used for manufacturing metal products such as steel plates, steel strips, steel pipes, and shaped steel in many fields, including steel, nonferrous metals, machinery manufacturing, and automobile manufacturing.

V. Development Trends
With the progress of science and technology and the development of industrialization, steel rolling mills are moving in the direction of high efficiency, automation, and intelligence. Modern rolling mills generally use advanced control systems and detection devices to achieve precise control and real-time monitoring of the rolling process. At the same time, the continuous emergence of new roll materials and rolling processes is also driving continued innovation and development of rolling mill technology.

In summary, steel rolling mills, as important equipment in the field of metal material processing, have a wide range of application prospects and development possibilities. With the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous expansion of the market, its performance will be further improved and the field of application will be further broadened.
