High-Speed Wire Rod Mill Production Line Process Flow

High-speed Wire Rod Mill Production Line Process Flow

Billet preparation: 150 mm *150 mm *14 000 mm continuous casting billet.

Reheating furnace: The billet is heated to austenite temperature to facilitate rolling. 

High-pressure water descaling: After the billet is heated in the reheating furnace, before entering the roughing rolling mill, it is necessary to descaling with high-pressure water to remove the oxide scale and secondary oxide scale on the billet surface, so as to avoid defects on the pressed surface. 

Roughing mill, medium rolling mill, and finishing rolling mill rolling: the size of finished products, including 6 roughing rolling mills, 6 medium rolling mills, 4 pre-finishing mills, 10 finishing mills, a total of 26 rolling mills on this high-speed wire rod mill production line.

Flying shear head and tail: Before entering each set of rolling mills, the work of cutting head and tail must be carried out in order to remove the head with too low temperature to avoid damage to the roll surface and prevent the head of the rolling piece from being stuck in the inter-stand guide device. The stuck shear is used to crush and break the rolling event before the medium rolling mill, the pre-finishing mill and the finishing mill in the accident state.

Water cooling: In order to reduce the rolling temperature entering the finishing mill, a water tank is set before the finishing mill to control the finishing temperature. 

Rolling: Rolled wires are rolled into rolls after cooling through water, forming loose rolls through spinning.

Stelmore uncoiled cooling: The cooling speed of the controlled cooling line is controlled according to different steel grades and product uses, so as to obtain the corresponding product quality. 

Finishing and transportation: including coiling, dressing, inspection, sampling, baling and rolling, weighing and hanging tags, using the coiling device to collect loose rolls, and hanging them on the C-hook on the P-S transport line, completing the process of coiling, dressing, inspection, sampling, baling and rolling, weighing and hanging tags in turn, and then unloading and entering the warehouse.

What Should The Rolling Mill Need To Pay Attention To During The Shutdown?

What Should The Rolling Mill Need To Pay Attention To During The Shutdown?

In the production process of the rolling mill, what should be noticed after the rolling mill is shut down when there is a downtime overhaul or an unexpected situation?

1. After the rolling mill stops, stop the feeding of steel, and take the gas cutting and cutting out of the online rolling parts to avoid the stress on the rolls and cause damage.

2. If the rolling mill needs long-term shutdown, the best method is to open the lubrication system to keep the main bearing lubricated, and then close it in to avoid dust and debris entering the bearing.

3. Cut off the power supply of the rolling mill and auxiliary equipment.

4. Drain the water in the cooling tube to avoid freezing the cooling water pipe when it is cold.

5. Protect the lubrication system, motor, air clutch and slow drive from dust, but not tightly sealed to avoid moisture accumulation. Use a small heater or protect the bulb to prevent moisture buildup.

6. Place bagged desiccant in all control and electrical panels to prevent moisture build-up and safely seal the control panel.

The above need to pay attention to is that the rolling mill production enterprises need to pay special attention to it. Only when the rolling mill is under maintenance, the rolling equipment can better complete the production task during the production period, improve the rolling efficiency and extend the usage time of rolling mill.

Since 1989 Hani Tech has been always involved in design, engineering, manufacturing and installation of complete hot rolling mill plant for long products (re-bars, SBQ bars, wire rod, small and medium sections), as well as revamping and upgrading of existing plants.

What's The Difference Between Hot Rolling And Cold Rolling?

What's The Difference Between Hot Rolling And Cold Rolling？

Hot rolling has the following characteristic, low intensity, good extension, the surface is not shinning.

Cold rolling has the following characteristic, high intensity, high hardness, shining surface.

Hot rolling mill: though high heating, then rolling it to the certain structure.

Cold rolling mill: not heating, in common temperature, normally below critical point.

The mechanical property through hot rolling and cold rolling is different.

Cold rolling is in low hardness, easy to process, with good intention, easy to form cold stress, hot rolling is for high hardness, high intention, difficult to process, not easy to deformation. 

Hot rolling needs to be heated, normally temperature should above the critical point, the processing is under high temperature, make the steel recrystallization happen, but not changing the steel structure.

Cold rolling is under normal temperature, roll it into aiming thickness, compare with hot rolling , cold rolling has high accuracy, smooth surface, better mechanic characteristic, especially processability, because the raw material of cold rolling is very crisp and hard, not suitable for processing, normally, cold rolling steel plate should be acid pickling and surfacing, then can send them to final customer.

The difference between cold rolling and hot rolling is not in the process, but the temperature, hot rolling is easy to roll, and high efficiency, but hot rolling makes steel oxidation, surface gray and not shining; cold rolling requires high power motor, low efficiency, high cost, but with very shining surface, can be used as the final product directly, widely used.

Since 1989 Hani Tech has been always involved in design, engineering, manufacturing and installation of complete hot rolling mill plant for long products (re-bars, SBQ bars, wire rod, small and medium sections), as well as revamping and upgrading of existing plants.

Why High-Speed Wire Rod Mill Adopts Collective Transmission Mode?

Why High-Speed Wire Rod Mill Adopts Collective Transmission Mode?

In high-speed wire rod mill, the finishing mill adopts collective transmission mode, which is due to:

1) In order to shorten the excess length of the head and tail of the rolling piece caused by drawing, the structure of the rolling mill is required to be as compact as possible, so that the space between the stands is very small. Under this compact condition, it is impossible to arrange the rolling mill as a single transmission. 

2) The finishing mill of high-speed wire rod mill not only has high speed but also needs to be adjusted to different speeds according to different product specifications. If it is driven separately, the number of frames is large, and the speed required by different product specifications varies greatly in different sorties. Therefore, the required electrical control system will be very complex, and at the same time, it must have high sensitivity to adapt. 

Therefore, even if the electrical system can do it, it is difficult to maintain the micro-tension rolling relationship between the racks for all product specifications. 

3) The combined structure of collective transmission greatly improves the dynamic speed drop of the motor at the moment of biting and makes the micro-tension relationship between the stands unaffected by the electrical equipment, thus creating favorable conditions for the micro-tension rolling at high speed. 

In summary, the design of roughing mill, medium rolling mill and pre-finishing mills using AC motor drive alone, finishing mills using AC motor collective drive.

Since 1989 Hani Tech has been always involved in design, engineering, manufacturing and installation of complete hot rolling mill plant for long products (re-bars, SBQ bars, wire rod, small and medium sections), as well as revamping and upgrading of existing plants.

Wire and Bar Rolling Mill & Reducing and Sizing Mill

Wire and Bar Rolling Mill & Reducing and Sizing Mill

For a long time, the output of bar and wire rod in China has been between 40% and 50% of the total output of iron and steel products. In recent years, the total output of bar and wire rod has exceeded 400 million tons. Except for about 10% of exports, the rest of the output is used for domestic digestion. It can be seen that bar and wire rod products play a very important role in national economic construction. There are more than 1000 production lines in China. 

Since the 1980s and 1990s, China has introduced foreign advanced bar and wire rolling mill one after another. By digesting, transforming and upgrading this technical line, China's domestic bar and wire rolling mill equipment have approached the world's advanced level. With 12% of the imported international advanced level production lines, at present, it is above the domestic advanced level. Some of them accounted for about 75% and became the mainstream of the market. Another 20% of the ordinary rolling mills adopt the twist rolling process with large output, which is only suitable for the production of ordinary carbon steel. There are still 5% backward mills to be eliminated.

After more than 30 years of development, the types of bar mills can be classified into three categories: closed two-high mill, short stress path mill and cantilever roll ring mill. Among them, the closed two-high mill is mainly Morgan type and Simac type (including Demark type). Through introduction and digestion, Morgan type closed mill has been successfully applied to hundreds of domestic production lines. The main imported models of short stress path rolling mill are Danieli type and Premini type. Our major research institutes have developed their own brand of short stress path rolling mill, which has been applied in hundreds of bar and wire production lines in China. Cantilever roll ring mill is only developed by Danieli, but it is seldom imported in China, such as Laigang and Tangshan Iron and Steel Company, which is only used in roughing mill.

Bar reducing and sizing mill is a kind of mill installed in bar finishing mill to improve product size accuracy and product performance (rolling by controlling temperature). It is mainly used for a bar of special steel. Reduced sizing mill is different from common mill in three aspects: first, using clutch with speed ratio to meet the needs of different rolling speeds of all products; second, using minimum mill center distance to reduce the size impact of micro-tension rolling; third, using single pass carbide roll ring, roll as double support. Support to ensure sufficient stiffness to meet a wide range of product specifications. At present, there are two types of imported machines in China: two-high mill and three-high Y mill. The two-roll mill is mainly of the predominant type and the Danieli type. There are three-stand flat-vertical arrangement and a four-stand flat-vertical arrangement. The roll system of the mill adopts the frame structure of the short stress line mill with high stiffness. Three-roll Y mill is mainly KOCKS type and Simac type. It usually consists of 3-5 stands. Roll passes are arranged alternately by Y-Δ.
