Analysis of Leveling Strategy for a Plate Mill

In order to analysis the effect of leveling strategy on the quality of plate products, the curvature integration by elastic-plastic differences was adopted to simulate leveling results by different leveling strategy. It had studied plastic deformation ratio, residual stress, residual curvature and leveling force for different leveling strategies to find the effectual strategy and the adaptability conditions were given. Additionally, static pressure leveling with the time delay strategy was analyzed, which was proved to be an effectual strategy to resolve the leveling problem for high strength thicker plate by a certain 3500mm mill plate.
