Plate camber is one of the most important problems in hot rolling process which not only lead to lower output caused by increasing of crop loss,but also influence on the efficiency of follow-up shear processes,in severe cases damages of side guides or stands also occurred.In terms of reversible four-high hot rolling mills,the main causes of this problem exist in the following areas,reasons of stands,such as the stiffness difference between the drive side and operation side;reasons of slabs,such as the original wedge or the temperature difference along the width direction;reasons of side guides,such as the error of work pieces centerin.In their essence,it can be concluded that the initial deviation of deformation on both sides will increase as the processing,and then the work piece will deviate the center line of the stand,which will form camber defects in the end. The attempt of improving the plate camber was carried out by design the optimized schedules on the bases of theory of the steady rolling conditions during hot rolling process.In presizing and broadsizing sequence,according to the biting conditions and maximum torque restrictions,the rolling reduction of every pass should be as large as possible for the propose of increasing the negative convexity of load-gap through increasing the rolling force. When rolling process goes to finishing stage,it will be impossible to correct rolling centerline in last serval passes because the work pieces will be too long and thin,while considering the bad impact on plate profile which brought by increasing force.Therefore,the main purpose of finishing sequence should be profile control,and slowing down the speed of camber extension as much as possible by gap tilt adjustment automatically. The results show that in hot rolling process,the degree of final camber is impacted by all the three sequences. It is suggested that the control or even eliminating the defect is expectable by a well designed rolling schedule fundamentally.
