| Sammanfattning: | During the temper rolling process, scratch defects on the lower surface of the steel strip caused by the tension measuring roller are a critical issue that affects the resulting product quality. Previous research has been limited to analyzing the mechanism and influencing factors of scratch generation, and has lacked a systematic design solution for analyzing and addressing scratch defects. This study deeply analyzed the mechanism of scratch formation, and it was determined that the fundamental cause lies in the relative sliding between the steel strip and the tension measuring roller. Specifically, the driving torque of the steel strip on the tension measuring roller is insufficient to overcome its total rotational resistance torque. This study identified the strip wrap angle, roller sleeve outer diameter, and wall thickness as key structural parameters that influence this torque balance. In optimizing the structural parameters of the tension measuring roller, this research had two main goals: eliminating scratch defects and avoiding strip warpage defects. To achieve this, a strip warpage calculation model and a scratch verification model were established. These were combined with structural connection safety verification. Based on these analyses, the optimal structural parameter combination was determined. This combination includes a roller sleeve outer diameter of 500 mm, a roller sleeve wall thickness of 20 mm, and a wrap angle of 30°. The consistent results that were obtained from theoretical analysis, finite element simulation, and actual production trials demonstrate that the optimized structural parameters of the tension measuring roller can effectively prevent relative sliding between the steel strip and the tension measuring roller, completely eliminating scratch defects on the lower surface of the steel strip and significantly improving product quality. This provides a reliable solution for the scratch problem in temper rolling. This solution also reduces scrap rate and production costs. Furthermore, it meets the strict surface quality demands of high-end applications. This leads to improved production efficiency and customer satisfaction. Ultimately, this method enhances product competitiveness and promotes industry technological progress. |
