There is provided a zigzagging control method for a workpiece including: an estimation step of, before rolling of a tail portion of the workpiece, acquiring at least any one of an inter-roll thrust force estimated based on an inter-roll cross angle and an inter-roll friction coefficient and a material-roll thrust force estimated based on a material-roll cross angle and a material-roll friction coefficient; and a tail control step of, during the rolling of the tail portion of the workpiece, measuring work-side and drive-side rolling loads, correcting a rolling load difference or a rolling load difference ratio based on any two of acquired parameters including a roll-axis-direction thrust counterforce at the measurement of the rolling loads, the inter-roll thrust force, and the material-roll thrust force, and performing reduction leveling control on a rolling mill based on the corrected rolling load difference or rolling load difference ratio.

A device and a method for rolling a metal strip. A distance of the upper/lower backup roll at at least one point thereof from a predetermined upper/lower reference point is measured by an upper/lower sensor and the measured values of the sensors are sent to a control device. A strain of the roll stand is calculated using a mathematical model, taking into account the rolling force generated. By the control device, an absolute value of the roll gap and thus the resulting thickness of the rolling stock is determined by the control device on the basis of the measured positions of the backup rolls and the calculated strain of the roll stand.

There is provided a method for identifying thrust counterforce working point positions of backup rolls of a rolling mill, the method including: changing at least either friction coefficients and inter-roll cross angles between the rolls with an unchanged kiss roll load to cause thrust forces at a plurality of levels to act between the rolls, and measuring thrust counterforces in a roll-axis direction acting on rolls forming at least one of roll pairs other than a roll pair of the backup rolls and measuring backup roll counterforces acting in a vertical direction on the backup rolls at reduction support positions in a kiss roll state; and identifying, based on the measured thrust counterforces, thrust counterforce working point positions of thrust counterforces acting on the backup rolls, using first equilibrium conditional expressions relating to forces acting on the rolls and second equilibrium conditional expressions relating to moments acting on the rolls.

A method for setting a rolling mill, the method being executed before reduction position zero point adjustment or before the start of rolling, and including: a first process of setting rolls in an open state, and with respect to each of the upper roll assembly and the lower roll assembly, adjusting positions of roll chocks in a rolling direction based on a torque acting on the work roll or a vertical roll load difference; and a second process of, after the first process, setting rolls in a kiss roll state, measuring a vertical roll load in two rotational states on a work side and a drive side, and moving roll chocks of a roll assembly on the opposite side to a reference roll simultaneously and in a same direction so that the vertical roll load difference falls within an allowable range to thereby adjust the positions of the roll chocks.

An apparatus and method for applying an EDT texture to an aluminum sheet has a rolling stand with at least one EDT surfaced roll capable of rolling the sheet at reductions <1%. The rolling is conducted with residual or no lubrication and imparts a texture on the scale of about 1 μm to the surface of the sheet at low roll force.
