The present invention belongs to the technical field of intermediate blank connection for strip steel headless rolling, and particularly relates to an intermediate blank connection system for hot-rolled strip headless rolling and a connection method.
In the production of the traditional finishing mill group of hot strip rolling, a single intermediate blank is rolled. Processes of strip passing, accelerated rolling, decelerated rolling, steel throwing and tail throwing are inevitable during entry into the finishing mill group. Therefore, it is difficult to ensure a thickness difference between strip head and tail and uniformity of strip passing quality, and rolling operation rates and rolling yields are also limited.
As automobile and home appliance industries put forward higher requirements for quality of thin plates, size and shape precision, surface and internal quality have become quality keys of equal importance.
