Rolling of pipes in order to reduce their diameter (reducing) are widely used in almost all shops for the production of hot-rolled pipes, as well as in the manufacture of pipes by welding. This is due to the fact that the production of pipes of small sizes is usually associated with significant losses in the productivity of pipe-rolling or pipe-welding units and, consequently, with an increase in the cost of production. In addition, in some cases, for example, rolling pipes with dia. less than 60-70 mm or pipes with a very large wall thickness and a small internal hole is difficult, as it requires the use of mandrels of too small a diameter.

Reduction is carried out after additional heating (or heating) of the pipes to 850-1100 ° C by rolling them on multi-stand continuous mills (with up to 24 stands) without using an internal tool (mandrel). Depending on the adopted system of work, this process can proceed with an increase in wall thickness or with its decrease. In the first case, rolling is carried out without tension (or with very little tension); and in the second - with great tension. The second case, as a more progressive one, has become widespread in the last decade, since it allows for a significantly greater reduction, and a decrease in wall thickness at the same time expands the range of rolled pipes with more economical - thin-walled pipes.

The possibility of wall thinning during reduction makes it possible to obtain pipes with a slightly larger wall thickness (sometimes by 20-30%) on the main pipe-rolling plant. This significantly improves the performance of the unit.

At the same time, in many cases, the older principle of operation, free reduction without tension, has retained its significance. This mainly applies to cases of reducing relatively thick-walled pipes, when it becomes difficult to noticeably reduce the wall thickness even at high tensions. It should be noted that reduction mills are installed in many pipe-rolling shops, which are designed for free rolling. These mills will be in operation for a long time and, consequently, tension-free reduction will be widely used.

Let us consider how the pipe wall thickness changes during free reduction, when there are no axial tension forces or backwater, and the stress state scheme is characterized by compressive stresses. B. JI. Kolmogorov and A. Z. Gleiberg, based on the fact that the actual change in the wall corresponds to the minimum work of deformation, and using the principle of possible displacements, gave a theoretical definition of the change in wall thickness during reduction. In this case, the assumption was made that the non-uniformity* of the deformation does not significantly affect the change in the wall thickness, and the external friction forces were not taken into account, since they are much less than the internal resistances. Figure 89 shows curves of wall thickness change from initial SQ to specified S for low-strengthening steels depending on the degree of reduction from the initial diameter DT0 TO final DT (DT/DTO ratio) and the geometric factor - thinness of pipes (S0/DT0 ratio).

At small degrees of reduction, the resistance to longitudinal outflow is greater than the resistance to inward outflow, which causes wall thickening. As the strain increases, the intensity of the wall thickening increases. However, at the same time, the resistance to flow into the pipe also increases. At a certain amount of reduction, the wall thickening reaches its maximum, and a subsequent increase in the degree of reduction leads to a more intensive increase in the resistance to outflow inward, and as a result, the thickening begins to decrease.

Meanwhile, only the wall thickness of the finished reduced pipe is usually known, and when using these curves, one has to set the required value, i.e., use the method of successive approximation.

The nature of the change in wall thickness changes dramatically if the process is carried out with tension. As already mentioned, the presence and magnitude of axial stresses are characterized by the speed conditions of deformation on a continuous mill, an indicator of which is the coefficient of kinematic tension.

When reducing with tension, the deformation conditions of the ends of the pipes differ from the deformation conditions of the middle of the pipe, when the rolling process has already stabilized. In the process of filling the mill or when the pipe exits the mill, the ends of the pipe perceive only part of the tension, and rolling, for example, in the first stand until the pipe enters the second stand, generally takes place without tension. As a result, the pipe ends always thicken, which is a disadvantage of the tension reduction process.

The amount of trim may be slightly less than the length of the thickened end due to the use of a plus tolerance for wall thickness. The presence of thickened ends greatly affects the economy of the reduction process, since these ends are cut off and are a sunk cost of production. In this regard, the rolling process with tension is used only in the case of production after reduction of pipes with a length of more than 40-50 m, when the relative losses in trimming are reduced to the level characteristic of any other rolling method.

The above methods for calculating the change in the thickness of the stem make it possible to ultimately determine the elongation coefficient both for the case of free reduction and for the case of rolling under tension.

With a compression equal to 8-10%, and with a plastic tension coefficient of 0.7-0.75, the slippage value is characterized by a coefficient ix = 0.83-0.88.

From the consideration of formulas (166 and 167), it is easy to see how exactly the speed parameters in each stand must be observed in order for the rolling to proceed according to the design regime.

The group drive of the rolls in the reduction mills of the old design has a constant ratio of the number of revolutions of the rolls in all stands, which only in a particular case for pipes of the same size can correspond to the free rolling mode. The reduction of pipes of all other sizes will occur with different hoods, therefore, the free rolling mode will not be maintained. In practice, in such mills, the process always proceeds with little tension. The individual roll drive of each stand with fine adjustment of their speed allows creating different tension modes, including the free rolling mode.

Since the front and rear tensions create moments directed in different directions, then total moment rotation of the rolls in each stand can increase or decrease depending on the ratio of the front and rear tension forces.

In this regard, the conditions in which the initial and last 2-3 stands are located are not the same. If the rolling moment in the first stands decreases due to tension as the pipe passes through subsequent stands, then the rolling moment in the last stands, on the contrary, should be higher, since these stands mainly experience back tension. And only in the middle stands, due to the close values ​​of the front and rear tension, the rolling moment in the steady state differs little from the calculated one. In the strength calculation of the drive units of the mill operating under tension, it must be borne in mind that the rolling moment briefly, but very sharply, increases during the period of tube capture by the rolls, which is explained by the large difference in the speeds of the tube and rolls. The resulting peak load, which sometimes exceeds the steady load by several times (especially when reducing with high tension), can cause damage to the drive mechanism. Therefore, in the calculations, this peak load is taken into account by introducing the appropriate coefficient, taken equal to 2-3.

STUDY OF THE DYNAMICS OF CHANGES IN THE PIPE WALL THICKNESS DURING REDUCTION

K.Yu. Yakovleva, B.V. Barichko, V.N. Kuznetsov

The results of an experimental study of the dynamics of changes in the wall thickness of pipes during rolling, drawing in monolithic and roller dies are presented. It is shown that with an increase in the degree of deformation, a more intense increase in the thickness of the pipe wall is observed in the processes of rolling and drawing in roller dies, which makes their use promising.

Key words: cold-formed pipes, thick-walled pipes, pipe drawing, pipe wall thickness, pipe inner surface quality.

The existing technology for the manufacture of cold-formed thick-walled pipes of small diameter from corrosion-resistant steels provides for the use of cold rolling processes on cold rolling mills and subsequent mandrelless drawing in monolithic dies. It is known that the production of pipes of small diameter by cold rolling is associated with a number of difficulties due to a decrease in the rigidity of the "rod-mandrel" system. Therefore, to obtain such pipes, a drawing process is used, mainly without a mandrel. The nature of the change in the pipe wall thickness during mandrelless drawing is determined by the ratio of wall thickness S and outer diameter D, and the absolute value of the change does not exceed 0.05-0.08 mm. In this case, wall thickening is observed at the ratio S/D< 0,165-0,20 в зависимости от наружного диаметра заготовки . Для данных соотношений размеров S/D коэффициент вытяжки д при волочении труб из коррозионно-стойкой стали не превышает значения 1,30 , что предопределяет многоцикличность известной технологии и требует привлечения новых способов деформации.

The aim of the work is a comparative experimental study of the dynamics of changes in the wall thickness of pipes in the processes of reduction by rolling, drawing in a monolithic and roller die.

Cold-formed pipes were used as blanks: 12.0x2.0 mm (S/D = 0.176), 10.0x2.10 mm (S/D = 0.216) from steel 08Kh14MF; dimensions 8.0x1.0 mm (S / D = 0.127) from steel 08X18H10T. All pipes were annealed.

Drawing in monolithic dies was carried out on a chain drawing bench with a force of 30 kN. For roller drawing, we used a die with offset pairs of rollers BP-2/2.180. Drawing in a roller die was carried out using an oval-circle gauge system. Pipe reduction by rolling was carried out according to the “oval-oval” calibration scheme in a two-roll stand with rolls 110 mm in diameter.

At each stage of deformation, samples were taken (5 pcs. for each study option) to measure the outer diameter, wall thickness, and roughness of the inner surface. Measurement of the geometric dimensions and surface roughness of the pipes was performed using an electronic caliper TTTC-TT. electronic point micrometer, profilometer Surftest SJ-201. All tools and devices have passed the necessary metrological verification.

The parameters of cold deformation of pipes are given in the table.

On fig. 1 shows graphs of the dependence of the relative increase in wall thickness on the degree of deformation e.

Analysis of the graphs in fig. 1 shows that during rolling and drawing in a roller die, in comparison with the process of drawing in a monolithic die, a more intense change in the thickness of the pipe wall is observed. This, according to the authors, is due to the difference in the scheme of the stress state of the metal: during rolling and roller drawing, the tensile stresses in the deformation zone are smaller. The location of the wall thickness change curve during roller drawing below the wall thickness change curve during rolling is due to slightly higher tensile stresses during roller drawing due to the axial application of the deformation force.

The extremum of the function of the change in wall thickness as a function of the degree of deformation or relative reduction along the outer diameter observed during rolling corresponds to the value S/D = 0.30. By analogy with hot reduction by rolling, where a decrease in wall thickness is observed at S/D > 0.35, it can be assumed that cold reduction by rolling is characterized by a decrease in wall thickness at a ratio of S/D > 0.30.

Since one of the factors determining the nature of the change in wall thickness is the ratio of tensile and radial stresses, which in turn depends on the parameters

Rice. 1. Dependence of the relative increase in pipe wall thickness on the degree of deformation

ra S/D, it is important to study the influence of the S/D ratio on the position of the extremum of the function of changing the pipe wall thickness in the process of reduction. According to the data of the work, at smaller S/D ratios, the maximum value of the pipe wall thickness is observed at large deformations. This fact was studied on the example of the process of reduction by rolling pipes with dimensions of 8.0x1.0 mm (S/D = 0.127) of steel 08Kh18N10T in comparison with the data on rolling pipes with dimensions of 10.0x2.10 mm (S/D = 0.216) of steel 08Kh14MF. The measurement results are shown in fig. 2.

The critical degree of deformation at which the maximum value of the wall thickness was observed during pipe rolling with the ratio

S/D = 0.216 was 0.23. When rolling pipes made of steel 08Kh18N10T, the extremum of the increase in wall thickness was not reached, since the ratio of pipe dimensions S/D, even at the maximum degree of deformation, did not exceed 0.3. An important circumstance is that the dynamics of the increase in wall thickness during the reduction of pipes by rolling is inversely related to the ratio of the dimensions S/D of the original pipe, which is demonstrated by the graphs shown in Fig. 2, a.

Analysis of curves in fig. 2b also shows that the change in the S/D ratio during the rolling of pipes made of steel grade 08Kh18N10T and pipes made of steel grade 08Kh14MF has a similar qualitative character.

In the process of reduction by various methods, the roughness of the inner surface of the pipes was also evaluated by the value of the arithmetic mean deviation of the microroughness height Ra. On fig. Figure 3 shows the graphs of the dependence of the relative value of the parameter Ra on the degree of deformation when pipes are reduced by rolling and drawing in monolithic dies

woolness of the inner surface of the pipes in the i-th passage and on the original pipe).

Analysis of curves in fig. 3 shows that in both cases (rolling, drawing) an increase in the degree of deformation during reduction leads to an increase in the Ra parameter, that is, it worsens the quality of the inner surface of the pipes. The dynamics of change (increase) in the roughness parameter with an increase in the degree of deformation in the case of

ducting of pipes by rolling in two-roll calibers significantly (about two times) exceeds the same indicator in the process of drawing in monolithic dies.

It should also be noted that the dynamics of changes in the roughness parameter of the inner surface is consistent with the above description of the dynamics of changes in wall thickness for the considered reduction methods.

Based on the research results, the following conclusions can be drawn:

1. The dynamics of pipe wall thickness change for the considered cold reduction methods is of the same type - intense thickening with an increase in the degree of deformation, subsequent slowing down of the wall thickness growth with reaching a certain maximum value at a certain ratio of pipe dimensions S/D and a subsequent decrease in the wall thickness growth.

2. The dynamics of changes in pipe wall thickness is inversely related to the ratio of the original pipe dimensions S/D.

3. The greatest dynamics of the increase in wall thickness is observed in the processes of rolling and drawing in roller dies.

4. An increase in the degree of deformation during reduction by rolling and drawing in monolithic dies leads to a deterioration in the state of the inner surface of the pipes, while the increase in the roughness parameter Ra during rolling occurs more intensively than during drawing. Taking into account the conclusions drawn and the nature of the change in the wall thickness during deformation, it can be argued that for drawing pipes in roller dies,

The change in the Ra parameter will be less intense than for rolling, and more intense in comparison with monolithic drawing.

The information obtained about the regularities of the cold reduction process will be useful in designing routes for the manufacture of cold-formed pipes from corrosion-resistant steels. At the same time, the use of the drawing process in roller dies is promising for increasing the thickness of the pipe wall and reducing the number of passes.

3.2 Calculation of the rolling table

The basic principle of constructing the technological process in modern installations is to obtain pipes of the same constant diameter on a continuous mill, which allows the use of a billet and a sleeve of also a constant diameter. Obtaining pipes of the required diameter is ensured by reduction. Such a system of work greatly facilitates and simplifies the setting of the mills, reduces the stock of tools and, most importantly, allows you to maintain high productivity of the entire unit even when rolling pipes of a minimum (after reduction) diameter.

We calculate the rolling table against the rolling progress according to the method described in. Outside diameter pipe after reduction is determined by the size of the last pair of rolls.

D p 3 \u003d (1.010..1.015) * D o \u003d 1.01 * 33.7 \u003d 34 mm

where D p is the diameter of the finished pipe after the reduction mill.

The wall thickness after continuous and reduction mills must be equal to the wall thickness of the finished pipe, i.e. S n \u003d Sp \u003d S o \u003d 3.2 mm.

Since a pipe of the same diameter comes out after a continuous mill, we take D n \u003d 94 mm. In continuous mills, the calibration of the rolls ensures that in the last pair of rolls the inner diameter of the pipe is 1-2 mm larger than the diameter of the mandrel, so that the diameter of the mandrel will be equal to:

H \u003d d n - (1..2) \u003d D n -2S n -2 \u003d 94-2 * 3.2-2 \u003d 85.6 mm.

We take the diameter of the mandrels equal to 85 mm.

The inner diameter of the sleeve must ensure the free insertion of the mandrel and is taken 5-10 mm larger than the diameter of the mandrel

d g \u003d n + (5..10) \u003d 85 + 10 \u003d 95 mm.

We accept the wall of the sleeve:

S g \u003d S n + (11..14) \u003d 3.2 + 11.8 \u003d 15 mm.

The outer diameter of the sleeves is determined based on the value of the inner diameter and wall thickness:

D g \u003d d g + 2S g \u003d 95 + 2 * 15 \u003d 125 mm.

The diameter of the used workpiece D h =120 mm.

The diameter of the mandrel of the piercing mill is selected taking into account the amount of rolling, i.e. rise in the inner diameter of the sleeve, which is from 3% to 7% of the inner diameter:

P \u003d (0.92 ... 0.97) d g \u003d 0.93 * 95 \u003d 88 mm.

The drawing coefficients for piercing, continuous and reduction mills are determined by the formulas:

,

The overall draw ratio is:

The rolling table for pipes 48.3×4.0 mm and 60.3×5.0 mm in size was calculated in a similar way.

3.3 Calculation of the calibration of the reduction mill rolls

Roll calibration is important integral part calculation of the operating mode of the mill. It largely determines the quality of the pipes, tool life, load distribution in the working stands and the drive.

Roll calibration calculation includes:

distribution of partial deformations in the stands of the mill and calculation of average diameters of calibers;

determination of the dimensions of the rolls.

3.3.1 Partial strain distribution

According to the nature of the change in partial deformations, the stands of the reduction mill can be divided into three groups: the head one at the beginning of the mill, in which the reductions increase intensively during rolling; calibrating (at the end of the mill), in which the deformations are reduced to a minimum value, and a group of stands between them (middle), in which partial deformations are maximum or close to them.

When rolling pipes with tension, the values ​​of partial deformations are taken on the basis of the stability condition of the pipe profile at a plastic tension value that ensures the production of a pipe of a given size.

The coefficient of total plastic tension can be determined by the formula:

,

where
- axial and tangential strains taken in logarithmic form; T is the value determined in the case of a three-roll caliber by the formula

where (S/D) cp is the average ratio of wall thickness to diameter over the period of pipe deformation in the mill; k-factor taking into account the change in the degree of thickness of the pipe.

,

,

where m is the value of the total deformation of the pipe along the diameter.

.

The value of the critical partial reduction at such a coefficient of plastic tension, according to , can reach 6% in the second stand, 7.5% in the third stand and 10% in the fourth stand. In the first cage, it is recommended to take in the range of 2.5-3%. However, to ensure a stable grip, the amount of compression is generally reduced.

In the pre-finishing and finishing stands of the mill, the reduction is also reduced, but to reduce the load on the rolls and improve the accuracy of the finished pipes. In the last stand of the sizing group, the reduction is taken equal to zero, the penultimate one - up to 0.2 from the reduction in the last stand of the middle group.

AT middle group stands practice uniform and non-uniform distribution of partial deformations. With a uniform distribution of compression in all stands of this group, they are assumed to be constant. The uneven distribution of particular deformations can have several variants and be characterized by the following patterns:

compression in the middle group is proportionally reduced from the first stands to the last - falling mode;

in the first few stands of the middle group, partial deformations are reduced, while the rest are left constant;

compression in the middle group is first increased and then reduced;

in the first few stands of the middle group, partial deformations are left constant, and in the rest they are reduced.

With decreasing deformation modes in the middle group of stands, the differences in the rolling power and the load on the drive decrease, caused by an increase in the resistance to deformation of the metal during rolling, due to a decrease in its temperature and an increase in the strain rate. It is believed that reducing the reduction towards the end of the mill also improves the quality of the outer surface of the pipes and reduces the transverse wall variation.

When calculating the calibration of the rolls, we assume a uniform distribution of reductions.

The values ​​of partial deformations in the stands of the mill are shown in fig. 3.1.

Introduction to the thesis (part of the abstract) on the topic "Improving the process of profiling polyhedral pipes by mandrelless drawing"

Relevance of the topic. The active development of the production sector of the economy, stringent requirements for the economy and reliability of products, as well as for production efficiency require the use of resource-saving types of equipment and technology. For many sectors of the construction industry, mechanical engineering, instrument making, radio engineering industry, one of the solutions is the use of economical types of pipes (heat exchange and radiator pipes, waveguides, etc.), which allows you to: increase the power of installations, strength and durability of structures, reduce their metal consumption, save materials , improve appearance. A wide range and a significant volume of consumption of profile pipes made the development of their production in Russia necessary. At present, the bulk of shaped pipes are manufactured in pipe drawing shops, since cold rolling and drawing operations are sufficiently developed in the domestic industry. In this regard, the improvement of existing production is especially important: the development and manufacture of tooling, the introduction of new technologies and methods.

The most common types of shaped pipes are multifaceted (square, rectangular, hexagonal, etc.) high-precision pipes obtained by drawing without a mandrel in one pass.

The relevance of the topic of the dissertation is determined by the need to improve the quality of multifaceted pipes by improving the process of their profiling without a mandrel.

The aim of the work is to improve the process of profiling multifaceted pipes by drawing without a mandrel by developing methods for calculating technological parameters and tool geometry.

To achieve this goal, it is necessary to solve the following tasks:

1. Create a mathematical model for profiling polyhedral pipes by mandrelless drawing to assess the force conditions, taking into account the nonlinear hardening law, the anisotropy of properties, and the complex geometry of the die channel.

2. Determine power conditions depending on the physical, technological and structural parameters of profiling during drawing without a mandrel.

3. To develop a method for assessing the fillability of die corners and face tightening when drawing multifaceted pipes.

4. Develop a method for calculating the strength of shaped dies to determine the geometric parameters of the tool.

5. Develop a methodology for calculating technological parameters with simultaneous profiling and torsion.

6. Conduct experimental studies of the technological parameters of the process that ensure high accuracy of the dimensions of polyhedral pipes and check the adequacy of the calculation of the technological parameters of profiling using a mathematical model.

Research methods. Theoretical studies were based on the main provisions and assumptions of the theory of drawing, the theory of elasticity, the method of conformal mappings, and computational mathematics.

Experimental studies were carried out in laboratory conditions using the methods of mathematical planning of the experiment on a universal testing machine TsDMU-30.

The author defends the results of calculating the technological and structural parameters of profiling multifaceted pipes by mandrelless drawing: a method for calculating the strength of a shaped die, taking into account normal loads in the channel; method for calculating the technological parameters of the process of profiling polyhedral pipes by mandrelless drawing; methodology for calculating technological parameters with simultaneous profiling and torsion during mandrelless drawing of helical thin-walled polyhedral pipes; results of experimental studies.

Scientific novelty. Regularities are established for changing the force conditions during profiling of multifaceted pipes by drawing without a mandrel, taking into account the nonlinear hardening law, the anisotropy of properties, and the complex geometry of the die channel. The problem of determining the stress state of a shaped die, which is under the action of normal loads in the channel, is solved. A complete record of the equations of the stress-strain state with simultaneous profiling and torsion of a polyhedral pipe is given.

The reliability of the research results is confirmed by a strict mathematical formulation of problems, the use of analytical methods for solving problems, modern methods carrying out experiments and processing experimental data, reproducibility of experimental results, satisfactory convergence of calculated, experimental data and practical results, compliance of simulation results with manufacturing technology and characteristics of finished polyhedral pipes.

The practical value of the work is as follows:

1. Modes for obtaining square pipes 10x10x1mm from D1 alloy of high precision are proposed, which increase the yield by 5%.

2. The dimensions of the shaped dies are determined, ensuring their performance.

3. Combining the operations of profiling and torsion shortens the technological cycle for the manufacture of helical polyhedral pipes.

4. Improved die channel calibration for profiling 32x18x2mm rectangular pipes.

Approbation of work. The main provisions of the dissertation work were reported and discussed at the international scientific and technical conference dedicated to the 40th anniversary of the Samara Metallurgical Plant "New directions for the development of production and consumption of aluminum and its alloys" (Samara: SSAU, 2000); 11th Interuniversity Conference "Mathematical Modeling and Boundary Problems", (Samara: SSTU, 2001); the second international scientific and technical conference "Metal Physics, Mechanics of Materials and Deformation Processes" (Samara: SSAU, 2004); XIV Tupolev readings: international youth scientific conference (Kazan: KSTU, 2006); IX Royal Readings: International Youth Scientific Conference (Samara: SSAU, 2007).

Publications Materials reflecting the main content of the dissertation were published in 11 papers, including 4 leading peer-reviewed scientific publications, determined by the Higher Attestation Commission.

Structure and scope of work. The dissertation consists of basic symbols, introduction, five chapters, bibliography and appendix. The work is presented on 155 pages of typewritten text, including 74 figures, 14 tables, a bibliography of 114 titles and an appendix.

The walking hearth furnace of the T-3 shop is designed for heating round billets with a diameter of 90...120 mm, a length of 3...10 m from carbon, low-alloy and stainless steels before piercing on the TPA-80.

The furnace is located in shop T-3 on the second floor in bays A and B.

The project of the furnace was carried out by Gipromez of the city of Sverdlovsk in 1984. Commissioning was carried out in 1986.

The furnace is a rigid metal structure, lined from the inside with refractory and heat-insulating materials. Internal dimensions of the furnace: length - 28.87 m, width - 10.556 m, height - 924 and 1330 mm, performance characteristics furnaces are presented in Table 2.1. Under the furnace is made in the form of fixed and movable beams, with the help of which the workpieces are transported through the furnace. The beams are lined with heat-insulating and refractory materials and framed with a special set of heat-resistant castings. The upper part of the beams is made of MK-90 mullite-corundum mass. The roof of the furnace is made suspended from shaped refractory materials and is insulated heat-insulating material. To maintain the furnace and conduct the technological process, the walls are equipped with working windows, a loading window and a metal unloading window. All windows are equipped with shutters. The heating of the furnace is carried out by natural gas, burned with the help of burners of the GR type (radiation burner low pressure) installed on the vault. The furnace is divided into 5 thermal zones with 12 burners each. Combustion air is supplied by two VM-18A-4 fans, one of which serves as a backup. Flue gases are removed through a smoke collector located on the roof at the beginning of the furnace. Further, flue gases are emitted into the atmosphere through a system of metal lined chimneys and flues with the help of two VGDN-19 smoke exhausters. A loop two-way tubular 6-section loop heat exchanger (CP-250) is installed on the chimney for heating the air supplied to combustion. For a more complete utilization of waste gas heat, the smoke exhaust system is equipped with a single-chamber mandrel heating furnace (PPO).

The issuance of the heated workpiece from the furnace is carried out using an internal water-cooled roller table, the rollers of which have a heat-resistant nozzle.

The oven is equipped with an industrial television system. Loud-speaking communication is provided between the control panels and the instrumentation panel.

The furnace is equipped with systems for automatic control of the thermal regime, automatic safety, units for monitoring operation parameters and signaling deviations from the norm. The following parameters are subject to automatic regulation:

2.1.2 Brief technical characteristics of the hot cutting line

The line for hot cutting of the workpiece is intended for the task of a heated rod into the shears, cutting the workpiece to the required length, and removing the cut workpiece from the shears.

A brief technical description of the hot cutting line is presented in Table 2.2.

The equipment of the hot cutting line includes the shears themselves (SKMZ designs) for cutting the workpiece, a movable stop, a transport roller table, a protective screen to protect the equipment from thermal radiation from the unloading window of the PSHP. Shears are designed for non-waste cutting of metal, however, if residual trimming is formed as a result of any emergency reasons, then a chute and a box in the pit, near the shears, are installed to collect it. In any case, the work of the line for hot cutting of the workpiece must be organized in such a way as to exclude the formation of offcuts.

After heating the rod and issuing it, it passes through a thermostat (to reduce the temperature drop along the length of the workpiece), reaches the movable stop and is cut into workpieces of the required length. After the cut is made, the mobile stop is lifted with the help of a pneumatic cylinder, the workpiece is transported along the roller table. After it passes over the stop, it lowers to the working position and the cutting cycle is repeated. To remove scale from under the rollers of the roller table, hot cutting shears, a descaling system is provided, to remove trimmings - a chute and a receiving box. After leaving the roller table of the hot cutting line, the billet enters the receiving roller table of the piercing mill.

2.1.3 The device and technical characteristics of the main and auxiliary equipment piercing mill section

The piercing mill is designed for piercing a solid workpiece into a hollow sleeve. On the TPA-80, a 2-roll piercing mill with barrel-shaped or cup-shaped rolls and guide lines is installed. Technical specifications piercing mill is presented in Table 2.3.

There is a water-cooled roller table in front of the piercing mill, designed to receive the workpiece from the hot cutting line and transport it to the centerer. The roller table consists of 14 individually driven water-cooled rollers.

The centering tool is designed for knocking out a center recess with a diameter of 20…30 mm and a depth of 15…20 mm at the end face of a heated workpiece and is a pneumatic cylinder in which a striker with a tip slides.

After centering, the heated billet enters the grate for its subsequent transfer to the chute of the front table of the piercing mill.

The front table of the piercing mill is designed to receive a heated billet rolling down the grate, align the axis of the billet with the axis of the piercing and hold it during piercing.

On the output side of the mill, roller centralizers of the mandrel rod are installed, which support and center the rod, both before piercing and during piercing, when high axial forces act on it and its longitudinal bending is possible.

Behind the centralizers there is a stationary thrust-adjusting mechanism with an opening head, it serves to perceive the axial forces acting on the rod with the mandrel, adjust the position of the mandrel in the deformation zone and pass the sleeve outside the piercing mill.

2.1.4 Arrangement and technical characteristics of the main and auxiliary equipment of the continuous mill section

The continuous mill is designed for rolling rough pipes with a diameter of 92 mm and a wall thickness of 3…8 mm. Rolling is carried out on a long floating mandrel 19.5 m long. Brief technical characteristics of the continuous mill are given in Table 2.4., Table 2.5. gear ratios are given.

During rolling, the continuous mill works as follows: the sleeve is transported by a roller table behind the piercing mill to a mobile stop and, after stopping, is transferred to the grate in front of the continuous mill with the help of a chain conveyor and rolled back onto the dispenser levers.

Table 2.4 - Brief technical characteristics of the continuous mill

Top roll lifting speed, mm/s		0,24
Frequency of rotation of main drive engines, rpm		220…550

If there are defects on the sleeve, the operator, by manually turning on the blocker and pushers, directs it into the pocket.

With the dispenser levers lowered, the good sleeve rolls into the chute, is pressed by the clamping levers, after which a mandrel is inserted into the sleeve using the setting rollers. When the front end of the mandrel reaches the front edge of the sleeve, the clamp is released, and the sleeve is set into a continuous mill with the help of push rollers. At the same time, the speed of rotation of the pulling rollers of the mandrel and the sleeve is set in such a way that by the time the sleeve is captured by the first stand of the continuous mill, the front end of the mandrel is extended by 2.5 ... 3 m.

After rolling on a continuous mill, a rough pipe with a mandrel enters the mandrel extractor, a brief technical characteristic is presented in Table 2.6. After that, the pipe is transported by a roller conveyor to the area of ​​cutting the rear end and approaches the stationary stop at the section of cutting the rear end of the pipe, the technical characteristics of the equipment of the POZK section are given in Table 2.7. Having reached the stop, the pipe is thrown by a screw ejector onto the grate in front of the leveling roller table. Next, the pipe rolls down the grate onto the leveling roller table, approaches the stop that determines the length of the cut, and is transferred piece by piece from the leveling roller table to the grate in front of the outlet roller table, while during the movement, the rear end of the pipe is cut off.

The cut end of the pipe is transferred by a scrap conveyor to a scrap bin located outside the workshop.

2.1.5 The principle of operation of the main and auxiliary equipment of the section of the reduction mill and the cooler

The equipment of this section is designed to transport the draft pipe through the induction heating installation, rolling on the reduction mill, cooling it and further transporting it to the cold cutting section.

Heating of rough pipes in front of the reduction mill is carried out in the INZ - 9000/2.4 heating unit, which consists of 6 heating blocks (12 inductors) located directly in front of the reduction mill. The pipes enter the induction plant one after the other in a continuous stream. In the absence of the receipt of pipes from the continuous mill (when the rolling is stopped), it is allowed to supply the deposited "cold" pipes to the induction installation individually. The length of the pipes specified in the installation should not exceed 17.5 m.

Type of reduction mill - 24-stand, 3-roll with two bearing position of rolls and individual drive of stands.

After rolling on the reducing mill, the pipe enters either the sprayer and the cooling table, or directly to the cooling table of the mill, depending on the requirements for the mechanical properties of the finished pipe.

The design and technical characteristics of the sprayer, as well as the parameters of pipe cooling in it, are a trade secret of OAO KresTrubZavod and are not given in this work.

In table 2.8. the technical characteristics of the heating installation are presented, in Table 2.9. - a brief technical characteristic of the reduction mill.

2.2 The existing technology for the production of pipes on the TPA-80 JSC "KresTrubZavod"

The workpiece in the form of rods entering the workshop is stored in the internal warehouse. Before being put into production, it is subjected to selective inspection on a special rack, and if necessary, repair. Scales were installed at the billet preparation site to control the weight of the metal put into production. The blanks from the warehouse are fed by an electric overhead crane to the loading grate in front of the furnace and loaded into the heating furnace with a walking hearth in accordance with the schedule and rate of rolling.

Compliance with the scheme of laying blanks is carried out visually by the metal planter. The workpiece is loaded into the furnace one by one into each, through one or more steps of the guide plates of the movable beams, depending on the rate of rolling and the multiplicity of the cut. When changing the steel grade, heat and pipe size, the fitter separates the steel grades, heats as follows: with a billet length of 5600-8000 mm, the heats are separated by shifting the first two rods along the width of the furnace; steel grades are separated by shifting the first four rods along the width of the furnace; with a billet length of 9000-9800mm, the separation of steel grades, heats from each other is carried out during planting with an interval of 8-10 steps, as well as counting the number of planted in the PSHP and issued billets, which are controlled by the PSHP metal heater and the hot cutting shear cutter by checking with control panels . TPA-80; when changing the size (transshipment of the mill) of the rolled pipes, the planting of metal in the furnace stops “5-6 steps” before the mill stops, when stopping for transshipment, the metal “steps back 5-6 steps” back. The movement of workpieces through the furnace is carried out by three movable beams. During the pauses of the movement cycle, the movable beams are set at the level of the hearth. The necessary heating time is provided by measuring the step cycle time. Excessive pressure in the working space should be from 9.8 Pa to 29.4 Pa, air flow coefficient =1.1 - 1.2.

When billets of various steel grades are heated in a furnace, the duration of heating is determined by the metal that has the longest residence time in the furnace. High-quality heating of the metal is ensured by the uniform passage of workpieces along the entire length of the furnace. Heated workpieces are delivered to the internal unloading roller table, and they are delivered to the hot cutting line.

To reduce the cooling of workpieces during downtime, a thermostat is provided on the roller table for transporting heated workpieces to the shears, as well as the possibility of returning (turning on the reverse) an uncut workpiece to the furnace and finding it during downtime.

During operation, a hot stop of the furnace is possible. A hot shutdown of a furnace is considered to be a shutdown without shutting off the natural gas supply. During hot shutdowns, the movable beams of the furnace are set at the level of the fixed ones. The download and upload windows are closed. The air flow rate is reduced from 1.1-1.2 to 1.0:-1.1 using the "fuel-air" adjuster. The pressure in the furnace at the level of the hearth becomes positive. When the mill stops: up to 15 minutes - the temperature by zones is set at the lower limit, and the metal is “stepped back” by two steps; from 15 minutes to 30 minutes - the temperature in zones III, IV, V is reduced by 20-40 0 С, in zones I, II by 30-60 0 С from the lower limit; over 30 minutes - the temperature in all zones is reduced by 50-150 0 C compared to the lower limit, depending on the duration of downtime. The blanks "step back" 10 steps back. With a downtime of 2 to 5 hours, it is necessary to free the IV and V zones of the furnace from blanks. Blanks from zones I and II are unloaded into the pocket. The unloading of metal is carried out by a metal planter with PU-1. The temperature in the V and IV zones is reduced to 1000-I050 0 C. When stopping for more than 5 hours, the entire furnace is freed from metal. The temperature rise is carried out stepwise by 20-30 0 C, at a temperature rise rate of 1.5-2.5 0 C/min. With an increase in the heating time of the metal due to the low rate of rolling, the temperature in zones I, II, III is reduced by 60 0 C, 40 0 ​​C, 20 0 C, respectively, from the lower limit, and the temperature in zones IV, V at the lower limits. In general, with stable operation of the entire unit, the temperature is distributed among the zones as follows (Table 2.13).

After heating, the workpiece enters the hot cutting line of the workpiece. The equipment of the hot cutting line includes the shears themselves for cutting the workpiece, a movable stop, a transport roller table, a protective screen to protect the equipment from thermal radiation from the unloading window of the walking hearth furnace. After heating the rod and issuing it, it passes through the thermostat, reaches the movable stop and is cut into blanks of the required length. After the cut is made, the mobile stop is lifted with the help of a pneumatic cylinder, the workpiece is transported along the roller table. After it passes over the stop, it lowers to the working position and the cutting cycle continues.

Table 2.13 - Temperature distribution in the furnace by zones

The measured workpiece is transferred by roller table behind the shears to the centerer. The centered workpiece is transferred by the ejector to the grate in front of the piercing mill, along which it rolls to the delay and, when the output side is ready, is transferred to the chute, which is closed with a lid. With the help of the pusher, with the stop raised, the workpiece is set into the deformation zone. In the deformation zone, the workpiece is pierced on a mandrel held by the rod. The rod rests against the glass of the thrust head of the thrust-adjusting mechanism, the opening of which does not allow the lock. Longitudinal bending of the rod from axial forces arising during rolling is prevented by closed centralizers, the axes of which are parallel to the axis of the rod.

In the working position, the rollers are brought around the rod by a pneumatic cylinder through a system of levers. As the front end of the sleeve approaches, the centralizer rollers are sequentially separated. After the workpiece is pierced, the first rollers are reduced by the pneumatic cylinder, which move the sleeve from the rolls to enable the rod interceptor to be captured by the levers of the rod interceptor, then the lock and the front head are folded, the dispensing rollers are brought together and the sleeve at an increased speed is issued at an increased speed by the thrust head onto the roller table behind the piercing mill .

After flashing, the sleeve is transported along the roller table to the mobile stop. Further, the sleeve is moved by a chain conveyor to the input side of the continuous mill. After the conveyor, the sleeve rolls along the inclined grate to the dispenser, which holds the sleeve in front of the inlet side of the continuous mill. Under the guides of the inclined grille there is a pocket for collecting defective cartridges. From the inclined grating, the sleeve is dropped into the receiving chute of the continuous mill with clamps. At this time, a long mandrel is inserted into the sleeve using one pair of friction rollers. When the front end of the mandrel reaches the front end of the sleeve, the sleeve clamp is released, two pairs of pulling rollers are brought onto the sleeve, and the sleeve with the mandrel is set into a continuous mill. At the same time, the speed of rotation of the pulling rollers of the mandrel and the pulling rollers of the sleeve is calculated in such a way that at the moment the sleeve is captured by the first stand of the continuous mill, the extension of the mandrel from the sleeve is 2.5-3.0 m. In this regard, the linear speed of the pulling rollers of the mandrels should be 2.25-2.5 times higher than the linear speed of the sleeve pulling rollers.

Rolled pipes with mandrels are alternately transferred to the axis of one of the mandrels. The head of the mandrel passes through the steady rest of the extractor and is captured by the gripper insert, and the pipe into the steady rest ring. When the chain moves, the mandrel leaves the pipe and enters the chain conveyor, which transfers it to a double roller table, which transports the mandrel from both extractors to the cooling bath.

After removing the mandrel, the draft pipe enters the saws for trimming the rear disheveled end.

After induction heating, the tubes are fed into a reduction mill with twenty-four three-roll stands. In the reduction mill, the number of working stands is determined depending on the dimensions of the rolled pipes (from 9 to 24 stands), and stands are excluded, starting from 22 in the direction of decreasing numbers of stands. Stands 23 and 24 participate in all rolling programs.

During rolling, the rolls are continuously cooled with water. When moving pipes along the cooling table, each link should contain no more than one pipe. When rolling pig hot-worked pipes intended for the manufacture of tubing pipes of strength group "K" from steel grade 37G2S, after the reduction mill, accelerated controlled cooling of the pipes in sprayers is carried out.

The speed of pipes passing through the sprayer must be stabilized with the speed of the reduction mill. Control over the stabilization of speeds is carried out by the operator in accordance with the operating instructions.

After reduction, the pipes enter the rack-mounted cooling table with walking beams where they are cooled.

At the cooling table, the pipes are collected in single-layer bags for trimming the ends and cutting to length on cold saws.

Finished pipes are delivered to the QCD inspection table, after inspection, the pipes are bundled into packages and sent to the finished product warehouse.

2.3 Justification of design decisions

In the case of piecewise reduction of pipes with tension on the PPC, a significant longitudinal difference in wall thickness of the ends of the pipes occurs. The reason for the end difference in wall thickness of the pipes is the instability of axial tensions in non-stationary deformation modes when filling and releasing the working stands of the mill with metal. The end sections are reduced under conditions of significantly lower longitudinal tensile stresses than the main (middle) part of the pipe. The increase in wall thickness at the end sections, exceeding the allowable deviations, makes it necessary to trim a significant part of the finished pipe

End trim standards reduced pipes on TPA-80 JSC "KresTrubZavod" are given in table. 2.14.

Table 2.15 - Norms for cutting pipe ends on TPA-80 JSC "KresTrubZavod"

where PC is the front thickened end of the pipe; ZK - rear thickened end of the pipe.

Approximately annual loss of metal in the thickened ends of the pipes in the shop T-3 JSC "KresTrubZavod" is 3000 tons. With a reduction in the length and weight of cut thickened pipe ends by 25%, the annual profit increase will be about 20 million rubles. In addition, there will be savings in the cost of stack saw blades, electricity, etc.

In addition, in the production of a conversion billet for drawing shops, it is possible to reduce the longitudinal difference in wall thickness of pipes, and the saved metal by reducing the longitudinal difference in wall thickness can be used to further increase the production of hot-rolled and cold-formed pipes.

3. DEVELOPMENT OF ALGORITHMS FOR CONTROL OF THE REDUCING MILL TPA-80

3.1 Status of the issue

Continuous tube-rolling units are the most promising high-performance plants for the production of hot-rolled seamless pipes of the corresponding range.

The composition of the units includes piercing, continuous mandrel and reducing stretching mills. Continuity of the technological process, automation of all transport operations, large length of rolled pipes provide high productivity, good quality of pipes in terms of surface and geometric dimensions

In recent decades, the intensive development of the production of pipes by continuous rolling has continued: built and put into operation (in "" Italy, France, USA, Argentina), reconstructed (in Japan) continuous rolling shops, supplied equipment for new shops (in China), developed and projects for the construction of workshops have been implemented (in France, Canada, USA, Japan, Mexico).

Compared to the units put into operation in the 60s, the new mills have significant differences: they mainly produce oil country pipes, and therefore large sections are built in the shops for finishing these pipes, including equipment for upsetting them. ends, heat treatment, pipe cutting, coupling production, etc.; the range of pipe sizes has significantly expanded: the maximum diameter has increased from 168 to 340 mm, the wall thickness - from 16 to 30 mm, which became possible due to the development of the rolling process on a long mandrel moving at an adjustable speed instead of a floating one on continuous mills. The new pipe-rolling units use continuously cast billets (square and round), which ensured a significant improvement in the technical and economic performance of their work.

Annular furnaces (TPA 48-340, Italy) are still widely used to heat billets, along with this, walking hearth furnaces (TPA 27-127, France, TPA 33-194, Japan) are being used. High performance in all cases modern unit is provided by installing one furnace of large unit capacity (capacity up to 250 t/h). Walking beam furnaces are used to heat pipes before reduction (calibration).

The main mill for the production of sleeves continues to be a two-roll screw rolling mill, the design of which is being improved, for example, by replacing the fixed rulers with driven guide disks. In the case of square blanks, the helical rolling mill in the technical line is preceded by either a press roll mill (TPA 48-340 in Italy, TPA 33-194 in Japan) or an edge calibration mill and a deep centering press (TPA 60-245, France).

One of the main directions for the further development of the continuous rolling method is the use of mandrels that move at a controlled speed during the rolling process, instead of floating ones. Using a special mechanism that develops a holding force of 1600-3500 kN, the mandrel is set to a certain speed (0.3-2.0 m/s), which is maintained either until the pipe is completely removed from the mandrel during rolling (retained mandrel), or up to a certain the moment from which the reference moves as a floating (partially held mandrel). Each of these methods can be used in the production of pipes of a certain diameter. So, for pipes of small diameter, the main method is rolling on a floating mandrel, medium (up to 200 mm) - on a partially held, large (up to 340 mm and more) - on a held one.

The use on continuous mills of mandrels moving at an adjustable speed (held, partially held) instead of floating ones provides a significant expansion of the assortment, an increase in the length of pipes and an increase in their accuracy. Individual constructive solutions are of interest; for example, the use of a piercing mill rod as a partially retained mandrel of a continuous mill (TPA 27-127, France), out-of-station insertion of a mandrel into a sleeve (TPA 33-194, Japan) .

New units are equipped with modern reducing and sizing mills, and one of these mills is most often used. Cooling tables are designed to receive pipes after reduction without prior cutting.

Assessing the current general state of automation of pipe mills, the following features can be noted.

Transport operations associated with the movement of rolled products and tools through the unit are fully automated using traditional local (mainly non-contact) automation devices. On the basis of such devices, it became possible to introduce high-performance units with a continuous and discrete-continuous technological process.

Actually, technological processes and even individual operations on pipe mills are clearly insufficiently automated so far, and in this part their level of automation is noticeably inferior to that achieved, for example, in the field of continuous sheet mills. If the use of control computers (CCM) for sheet mills has become practically a widely recognized norm, then for pipe mills examples are still rare in Russia, although at present the development and implementation of process control systems and automated control systems has become the norm abroad. So far, on a number of pipe mills in our country, there are mainly examples of industrial implementation of individual subsystems of automated process control using specialized devices made using semiconductor logic and computer technology elements.

This state of affairs is mainly due to two factors. On the one hand, until recently, the requirements for quality, and above all, for dimensional stability of pipes, were satisfied by relatively simple means (in particular, rational designs of mill equipment). These conditions did not stimulate more perfect and, of course, more complex developments, for example, using relatively expensive and not always sufficiently reliable CCMs. On the other hand, the use of special non-standard technical means Automation was possible only for simpler and less efficient tasks, while requiring significant time and money for development and manufacture, which did not contribute to progress in the area under consideration.

However, the increasing modern requirements for pipe production, including the quality of pipes, cannot be satisfied by traditional solutions. Moreover, as practice shows, a significant proportion of efforts to meet these requirements falls on automation, and at present it is necessary to automatically change these modes during pipe rolling.

Modern advances in the field of control of electric drives and various technical means of automation, primarily in the field of minicomputers and microprocessor technology, make it possible to radically improve the automation of pipe mills and units, to overcome various production and economic limitations.

The use of modern technical means of automation implies a simultaneous increase in the requirements for the correctness of setting tasks and choosing ways to solve them, and in particular, for choosing the most effective ways impact on technological processes The solution of this problem can be facilitated by the analysis of the existing most effective technical solutions for the automation of pipe mills.

Studies of continuous pipe-rolling units as automation objects show that there are significant reserves for further improvement of their technical and economic indicators by automating the technological process of pipe rolling on these units.

When rolling in a continuous mill on a long floating mandrel, an end longitudinal difference in wall thickness is also induced. The wall thickness of the rear ends of the draft pipes is greater than the middle by 0.2-0.3 mm. The length of the posterior end with a thickened wall is equal to 2-3 interstand spaces. The thickening of the wall is accompanied by an increase in diameter in the area separated by one interstand gap from the rear end of the pipe. Due to transient conditions, the wall thickness of the front ends is 0.05-0.1 mm less than the middle. When rolling with tension, the walls of the front ends of the pipes also thicken. The longitudinal variation in the thickness of the rough pipes is preserved during subsequent reduction and leads to an increase in the length of the rear cut off thickened ends of the finished pipes.

When rolling in reduction stretching mills, the wall of the ends of the pipes thickens due to a decrease in tension in comparison with the steady state, which occurs only when 3-4 stands of the mill are filled. The ends of pipes with a wall thickened beyond the tolerance are cut off, and the metal waste associated with this determines the main share of the total consumption coefficient on the unit.

The general nature of the longitudinal variation of the pipes after the continuous mill is almost completely transferred to the finished pipes. This is confirmed by the results of rolling pipes with dimensions of 109 x 4.07 - 60 mm at five tension modes on the reducing mill of the YuTZ installation 30-102. During the experiment, 10 pipes were selected at each speed mode, the end sections of which were cut into 10 parts 250 mm long, and three branch pipes were cut from the middle, located at a distance of 10, 20 and 30 m from the front end. After measuring the wall thickness on the device, deciphering the thickness difference diagrams and averaging the data, graphical dependences were plotted, shown in Fig. 54 .

Thus, the noted components of the total wall thickness of pipes have a significant impact on the technical and economic performance of continuous units, are associated with physical features rolling processes in continuous and reduction mills and can be eliminated or significantly reduced only by special automatic systems that change the setting of the mill during pipe rolling. The natural nature of these components of the difference in wall thickness makes it possible to use the program control principle in the basis of such systems.

There are other technical solutions to the problem of reducing end waste during reduction using automatic control systems for the process of rolling pipes in a reduction mill with an individual drive of the stands (Germany patents No. 1602181 and Great Britain 1274698). Due to the change in the speed of the rolls during the rolling of the front and rear ends of the pipes, additional tension forces are created, which leads to a decrease in the end longitudinal difference in wall thickness. There is evidence that such software speed correction systems for the main drives of the reduction mill operate on seven foreign pipe-rolling units, including two units with continuous mills in Mülheim (Germany). The units were supplied by Mannesmann (Germany).

The second unit was launched in 1972 and includes a 28-stand reduction mill with individual drives, equipped with a speed correction system. Speed ​​changes during the passage of pipe ends are carried out in the first ten stands in steps, as additions to the operating speed value. The maximum speed change takes place on stand No. 1, the minimum - on stand No. 10. Photo relays are used as sensors for the position of the pipe ends in the mill, which give commands to change speed. In accordance with the adopted speed correction scheme, the individual drives of the first ten stands are supplied according to an anti-parallel reversing scheme, the subsequent stands - according to a non-reversing scheme. It is noted that the correction of the speeds of the drives of the reduction mill allows to increase the yield on the unit by 2.5% with a mixed production program. With an increase in the degree of reduction in diameter, this effect increases.

There is similar information about equipping a twenty-eight-stand reduction mill in Spain with a speed correction system. Speed ​​changes are carried out in the first 12 stands. In this regard, various drive power schemes are also provided.

It should be noted that equipping reduction mills as part of continuous pipe-rolling units with a speed correction system does not completely solve the problem of reducing end waste during reduction. The efficiency of such systems should decrease with decreasing degree of reduction in diameter.

Programmatic process control systems are the easiest to implement and give a great economic effect. However, with their help, it is possible to improve the accuracy of pipe dimensions only by reducing one of its three components - the longitudinal difference in wall thickness. Studies show that the main specific gravity in the general spread of wall thicknesses of finished pipes (about 50%) falls on the transverse difference in wall thickness. Fluctuations in average pipe wall thicknesses in batches are about 20% of the total variation.

At present, the reduction of the transverse wall variation is possible only by improving the technological process of pipe rolling on the mills that are part of the unit. Examples of the use of automatic systems for these purposes are unknown.

Stabilization of the average pipe wall thickness in batches is possible both by improving the rolling technology, the design of the stands and the electric drive, and by using automatic process control systems. Reducing the spread of pipe wall thicknesses in a batch can significantly increase the productivity of units and reduce metal consumption due to rolling in a field of minus tolerances.

Unlike software systems, systems designed to stabilize average pipe wall thicknesses must include sensors for controlling the geometric dimensions of pipes.

Technical proposals for equipping reduction mills with systems for automatic stabilization of pipe wall thickness are known. The structure of the systems does not depend on the type of unit, which includes a reduction mill.

A complex of control systems for the process of pipe rolling in continuous and reduction mills, designed to reduce end waste during reduction and increase the accuracy of pipes by reducing the longitudinal difference in wall thickness and the spread of average wall thicknesses, forms the process control system of the unit.

The use of computers to control production and automate the technological process of pipe rolling was first implemented on a continuous pipe rolling plant 26-114 in Mulheim.

The unit is designed for rolling pipes with a diameter of 26-114 mm, wall thickness of 2.6-12.5 mm. The unit includes a ring furnace, two piercing mills, a 9-stand continuous mill and a 24-stand reduction mill individually driven by 200 kW motors.

The second unit with a continuous mill in Mulheim, launched in 1972, is equipped with a more powerful computer, which is assigned to more extensive functions. The unit is designed for rolling pipes with a diameter of up to 139 mm, a wall thickness of up to 20 mm and consists of a piercing mill, an eight-stand continuous mill and a twenty-eight-stand reduction mill with an individual drive.

The continuous pipe rolling plant in the UK, launched in 1969, is also equipped with a computer, which is used to plan the loading of the plant and, as an information system, continuously monitors the parameters of rolled products and tools. The quality control of pipes and blanks, as well as the accuracy of mill settings, is carried out at all stages of the technological process. Information from each mill is sent to a computer for processing, after which it is issued to the mills for operational management.

In a word, many countries are trying to solve the problems of automating rolling processes, incl. and ours. To develop a mathematical model for controlling continuous mills, it is necessary to know the effect of the specified technological parameters on the accuracy of finished pipes; for this, it is necessary to consider the features of continuous rolling.

A feature of reducing pipes with tension is a higher product quality as a result of the formation of a smaller transverse wall difference, in contrast to rolling without tension, as well as the possibility of obtaining pipes of small diameters. However, with piece-by-piece rolling, an increased longitudinal variation in wall thickness is observed at the ends of the pipes. Thickened ends during reduction with tension are formed due to the fact that the front and rear ends of the pipe when passing through the mill are not subjected to the full effect of tension.

Tension is characterized by the tensile stress in the pipe (x). The most complete characteristic is the coefficient of plastic tension, which is the ratio of the longitudinal tensile stress of the pipe to the deformation resistance of the metal in the stand.

Typically, the reduction mill is set up in such a way that the coefficient of plastic tension in the middle stands is evenly distributed. Tension rises and falls in the first and last stands.

To intensify the reduction process and obtain thin-walled pipes, it is important to know the maximum tension that can be created in the reduction mill. The maximum value of the coefficient of plastic tension in the mill (z max) is limited by two factors: the pulling capacity of the rolls and the conditions of pipe rupture in the mill. As a result of the research, it was found that with a total reduction of the pipe in the mill up to 50-55%, the value of z max is limited by the pulling capacity of the rolls.

Workshop T-3, together with EF VNIPI "Tyazhpromelektroproekt" and the enterprise "ASK", created the basis of the ACS-TP system on the TPA-80 unit. Currently, the following components of this system are functioning: UZN-N, UZN-R, ETHERNET communication line, all AWPs.

3.2 Calculation of the rolling table

The basic principle of constructing the technological process in modern installations is to obtain pipes of the same constant diameter on a continuous mill, which allows the use of a billet and a sleeve of also a constant diameter. Obtaining pipes of the required diameter is ensured by reduction. Such a system of work greatly facilitates and simplifies the setting of the mills, reduces the stock of tools and, most importantly, allows you to maintain high productivity of the entire unit even when rolling pipes of a minimum (after reduction) diameter.

We calculate the rolling table against the rolling progress according to the method described in. The outer diameter of the pipe after reduction is determined by the dimensions of the last pair of rolls.

D p 3 \u003d (1.010..1.015) * D o \u003d 1.01 * 33.7 \u003d 34 mm

where D p is the diameter of the finished pipe after the reduction mill.

The wall thickness after continuous and reduction mills must be equal to the wall thickness of the finished pipe, i.e. S n \u003d Sp \u003d S o \u003d 3.2 mm.

Since a pipe of the same diameter comes out after a continuous mill, we take D n \u003d 94 mm. In continuous mills, the calibration of the rolls ensures that in the last pair of rolls the inner diameter of the pipe is 1-2 mm larger than the diameter of the mandrel, so that the diameter of the mandrel will be equal to:

H \u003d d n - (1..2) \u003d D n -2S n -2 \u003d 94-2 * 3.2-2 \u003d 85.6 mm.

We take the diameter of the mandrels equal to 85 mm.

The inner diameter of the sleeve must ensure the free insertion of the mandrel and is taken 5-10 mm larger than the diameter of the mandrel

d g \u003d n + (5..10) \u003d 85 + 10 \u003d 95 mm.

We accept the wall of the sleeve:

S g \u003d S n + (11..14) \u003d 3.2 + 11.8 \u003d 15 mm.

The outer diameter of the sleeves is determined based on the value of the inner diameter and wall thickness:

D g \u003d d g + 2S g \u003d 95 + 2 * 15 \u003d 125 mm.

The diameter of the used workpiece D h =120 mm.

The diameter of the mandrel of the piercing mill is selected taking into account the amount of rolling, i.e. rise in the inner diameter of the sleeve, which is from 3% to 7% of the inner diameter:

P \u003d (0.92 ... 0.97) d g \u003d 0.93 * 95 \u003d 88 mm.

The drawing coefficients for piercing, continuous and reduction mills are determined by the formulas:

,

The overall draw ratio is:

The rolling table for pipes 48.3×4.0 mm and 60.3×5.0 mm in size was calculated in a similar way.

The rolling table is presented in Table. 3.1.

3.3 Calculation of the calibration of the reduction mill rolls

Roll calibration is an important part of the calculation of the operating mode of the mill. It largely determines the quality of the pipes, tool life, load distribution in the working stands and the drive.

Roll calibration calculation includes:

a) the distribution of partial deformations in the stands of the mill and the calculation of the average diameters of the calibers;

b) determination of the dimensions of the calibers of the rolls.

3.3.1 Partial strain distribution

According to the nature of the change in partial deformations, the stands of the reduction mill can be divided into three groups: the head one at the beginning of the mill, in which the reductions increase intensively during rolling; calibrating (at the end of the mill), in which the deformations are reduced to a minimum value, and a group of stands between them (middle), in which partial deformations are maximum or close to them.

When rolling pipes with tension, the values ​​of partial deformations are taken on the basis of the stability condition of the pipe profile at a plastic tension value that ensures the production of a pipe of a given size.

The coefficient of total plastic tension can be determined by the formula:

,

where are axial and tangential strains taken in logarithmic form; T is the value determined in the case of a three-roll caliber by the formula

T= ,

where (S/D) cp is the average ratio of wall thickness to diameter over the period of pipe deformation in the mill; k-factor taking into account the change in the degree of thickness of the pipe.

,

,

where m is the value of the total deformation of the pipe along the diameter.

.

,

.

The value of the critical partial reduction at such a coefficient of plastic tension, according to , can reach 6% in the second stand, 7.5% in the third stand and 10% in the fourth stand. In the first cage, it is recommended to take in the range of 2.5-3%. However, to ensure a stable grip, the amount of compression is generally reduced.

In the pre-finishing and finishing stands of the mill, the reduction is also reduced, but to reduce the load on the rolls and improve the accuracy of the finished pipes. In the last stand of the sizing group, the reduction is taken equal to zero, the penultimate one - up to 0.2 from the reduction in the last stand of the middle group.

In the middle group of stands, a uniform and uneven distribution of partial deformations is practiced. With a uniform distribution of compression in all stands of this group, they are assumed to be constant. The uneven distribution of particular deformations can have several variants and be characterized by the following patterns:

compression in the middle group is proportionally reduced from the first stands to the last - falling mode;

in the first few stands of the middle group, partial deformations are reduced, while the rest are left constant;

compression in the middle group is first increased and then reduced;

in the first few stands of the middle group, partial deformations are left constant, and in the rest they are reduced.

With decreasing deformation modes in the middle group of stands, the differences in the rolling power and the load on the drive decrease, caused by an increase in the resistance to deformation of the metal during rolling, due to a decrease in its temperature and an increase in the strain rate. It is believed that reducing the reduction towards the end of the mill also improves the quality of the outer surface of the pipes and reduces the transverse wall variation.

When calculating the calibration of the rolls, we assume a uniform distribution of reductions.

The values ​​of partial deformations in the stands of the mill are shown in fig. 3.1.

Crimp Distribution

Based on the accepted values ​​of partial deformations, the average diameters of the calibers can be calculated by the formula

.

For the first stand of the mill (i=1) d i -1 =D 0 =94 mm, then

mm.

Calculated by this formula, the average diameters of the calibers are given in Appendix 1.

3.3.2 Determination of roll gauges

The form of calibers of three-roll mills is shown in fig. 3.2.

An oval pass is obtained by outlining it with a radius r with a center displaced relative to the rolling axis by an eccentricity e.

Caliber form

The values ​​of the radii and eccentricity of the calibers are determined by the width and height of the calibers according to the formulas:

To determine the dimensions of the caliber, it is necessary to know the values ​​of its semiaxes a and b, and to determine them, the value of the ovality of the caliber

To determine the ovality of the caliber, you can use the formula:

The exponent q characterizes the possible value of broadening in the caliber. When reducing in three-roll stands, q = 1.2 is taken.

The values ​​of the semi-axes of the caliber are determined by the dependencies:

where f is the correction factor, which can be calculated using the approximate formula

We will calculate the dimensions of the caliber according to the above formulas for the first stand.

For the remaining stands, the calculation is carried out in a similar way.

At present, the grooves of the rolls are carried out after the installation of the rolls in the working stand. Boring is carried out on special machines with a round cutter. The boring scheme is shown in fig. 3.3.

Rice. 3.3 - Caliber bore pattern

To obtain a caliber with given values ​​of a and b, it is necessary to determine the cutter diameter D f and its displacement relative to the plane of the roll axes (parameter X). D f and X are determined by the following mathematically exact formulas:

For three-roll mills, the angle a is 60°. Di is the ideal roll diameter, Di=330mm.

The values ​​calculated according to the above formulas are summarized in Table. 3.2.

3.4 Calculation speed limit

The calculation of the speed mode of the mill consists in determining the number of revolutions of the rolls and, according to them, the number of revolutions of the engines.

When rolling pipes with tension, the change in wall thickness is greatly influenced by the value of plastic tension. In this regard, first of all, it is necessary to determine the coefficient of total plastic tension on the mill - ztot, which would ensure the required wall. The calculation of ztot is given in clause 3.3.

,

where is the coefficient taking into account the influence of non-contact deformation zones:

;

l i is the length of the capture arc:

;

- grip angle:

;

f is the coefficient of friction, we accept f=0.5; a is the number of rolls in the stand, a=3.

In the first working stand z c1 =0. In subsequent stands, you can take z p i -1 = z s i .

Substituting the data for the first stand into the above formulas, we obtain:

Having carried out similar calculations for the second stand, the following results were obtained: z p2 = 0.42, S 2 = 3.251 mm, z p3 = 0.426, S 3 = 3.252 mm, z p4 = 0.446, S 4 = 3.258 mm. On this, we stop the calculation of z p i according to the above method, because the condition z n2 >z total is fulfilled.

From the condition of complete slip, we determine the maximum possible tension z z in the last deforming stand, i.e. z s21 . In this case, we assume that z p21 =0.

.

;

The wall thickness in front of the 21st stand, i.e. S 20, can be determined by the formula:

.

;

; ;

mm.

Having carried out similar calculations for the 20th stand, the following results were obtained: z z 20 = 0.357, S 19 = 3.178 mm, z z 19 = 0.396, S 18 = 3.168 mm, z z 18 = 0.416, S 17 = 3.151 mm, z z 17 = 0.441, S 16 \u003d 3.151 mm. On this, we stop the calculation of z p i, because the condition z z14 >z total is fulfilled.

The calculated wall thickness values ​​for the mill stands are given in Table. 2.20.

To determine the number of revolutions of the rolls, it is necessary to know the rolling diameters of the rolls. To determine the rolling diameters, you can use the formulas given in:

, (2)

where D in i is the diameter of the roll at the top;

.

If , then the calculation of the rolling diameter of the rolls should be carried out according to equation (1), if this condition is not met, then (2) should be used.

The value characterizes the position of the neutral line in the case when it is taken parallel (in plan) to the rolling axis. From the condition of force balance in the deformation zone for such an arrangement of slip zones

Given the input rolling speed V in =1.0 m/s, we calculated the number of revolutions of the rolls of the first stand

3.5 Power parameters of rolling

A distinctive feature of the reduction process in comparison with other types of longitudinal rolling is the presence of significant interstand tensions. The presence of tension has a significant effect on the power parameters of rolling - the pressure of the metal on the rolls and the rolling moments.

The force of the metal on the roll P is the geometric sum of the vertical R in and horizontal R g components:

The vertical component of the metal force on the rolls is determined by the formula:

,

where p is the average specific pressure of the metal on the roll; l is the length of the deformation zone; d is the gauge diameter; a is the number of rolls in the stand.

The horizontal component Р g is equal to the difference between the forces of the front and rear tensions:

where z p, z z are the coefficients of the front and rear plastic tensions; F p, F c - cross-sectional area of ​​the front and rear ends of the pipe; s S is the deformation resistance.

To determine the average specific pressures, it is recommended to use the formula of V.P. Anisiforova:

.

The rolling moment (total per stand) is determined by the formula:

.

The deformation resistance is determined by the formula:

,

where Т – rolling temperature, °С; H is the intensity of shear strain rates, 1/s; e - relative reduction; K 1, K 2, K 3, K 4, K 5 are empirical coefficients, for steel 10: K 1 = 0.885, K 2 = 7.79, K 3 = 0.134, K 4 = 0.164, K 5 = (–2 ,eight).

The strain rate intensity is determined by the formula

where L is the degree of shear deformation:

t is the deformation time:

The angular velocity of the roll is found by the formula:

,

Power is found by the formula:

In table. 3.4. the results of the calculation of the power parameters of rolling according to the above formulas are given.

3.6 Study of the effect of transient speed reduction modes on the value of the longitudinal difference in wall thickness of the end sections of finished pipes

3.6.1 Description of the calculation algorithm

The study was carried out in order to obtain data on the effect of transient speed reduction modes on the value of the longitudinal difference in wall thickness of the end sections of finished pipes.

Determination of interstand tension coefficient from known roll revolutions, i.e. dependence Zn i =f(n i /n i -1) was carried out according to the method of solving the so-called inverse problem proposed by G.I. Gulyaev, in order to obtain the dependence of the wall thickness on the revolutions of the rolls.

The essence of the technique is as follows.

The steady process of pipe reduction can be described by a system of equations reflecting the observance of the law of constancy of second volumes and the balance of forces in the deformation zone:

(3.1.)

In turn, as is well known,

Dcat i =j(Zз i , Zп i , А i),

m i =y(Zз i , Zп i , B i),

where A i and B i are values ​​that do not depend on tension, n i is the number of revolutions in the i-th stand,  i is the drawing ratio in the i-th stand, Dcat i is the rolling diameter of the roll in the i-th stand, Zп i , Zz i - front and rear plastic tension coefficients.

Given that Zз i = Zп i -1, the system of equations (3.1.) can be written in general form as follows:

(3.2.)

We solve the system of equations (3.2.) with respect to the front and back coefficients of plastic tension by the method of successive approximations.

Taking Zz1 = 0, we set the value Zp1 and from the first equation of the system (3.2.) we determine Zp 2 by iteration, then from the second equation - Zp 3, etc. Given the value Zp 1, you can find a solution in which Zp n = 0 .

Knowing the coefficients of the front and rear plastic tension, we determine the wall thickness after each stand using the formula:

(3.3.)

where A is the coefficient determined by the formula:

;

;

z i - average (equivalent) coefficient of plastic tension

.

3.6.2 Study results

Using the results of calculations of tool calibration (p. 3.3.) and speed setting of the mill (roll speeds) with a steady reduction process (p. 3.4.) in the MathCAD 2001 Professional software environment, the system (3.2.) and expressions (3.3.) were solved with the purpose of determining the change in wall thickness.

It is possible to reduce the length of the thickened ends by increasing the coefficient of plastic tension by changing the revolutions of the rolls during rolling of the end sections of the pipe.

At present, a control system for the high-speed mode of continuous mandrelless rolling has been created at the TPA-80 reduction mill. This system allows you to dynamically adjust the roll speed of the PPC stands during the rolling of the end sections of the pipes according to a given linear relationship. This regulation of the roll speed during the rolling of the end sections of the pipes is called the “velocity wedge”. Turnovers of the rolls during rolling of the end sections of the pipe are calculated by the formula:

, (3.4.)

where n i is the speed of the rolls in the i-th stand at steady state, K i is the coefficient of reduction of the speed of the rolls in %, i is the number of the stand.

The dependence of the roll speed reduction coefficient in a given stand on the stand number is linear

K i \u003d (Fig. 3.8.).

Dependence of the reduction factor of rolls in a stand on the stand number.

The initial data for using this control mode are:

The number of stands in which the speed setting is changed is limited by the length of the thickened ends (3…6);

The magnitude of the reduction in the speed of the rolls in the first stand of the mill is limited by the possibility of an electric drive (0.5 ... 15%).

In this work, to study the effect of the speed setting of the RRS on the end longitudinal wall thickness, it was assumed that the change in speed setting when reducing the front and rear ends of the pipes is carried out in the first 6 stands. The study was carried out by changing the speed of rotation of the rolls in the first stands of the mill in relation to the steady rolling process (variation of the angle of inclination of the straight line in Fig. 3.8).

As a result of modeling the processes of filling the RRS stands and exiting the pipe from the pipe mill, we obtained the dependences of the wall thickness of the front and rear ends of the pipes on the magnitude of the change in the speed of rotation of the rolls in the first stands of the mill, which are shown in Fig. 3.9. and Fig.3.10. for pipes measuring 33.7x3.2 mm. The most optimal value of the “velocity wedge” in terms of minimizing the length of the end trim and “hitting” the wall thickness in the tolerance field of DIN 1629 (wall thickness tolerance ± 12.5%) is K 1 =10-12%.

On fig. 3.11. and fig. 3.12. dependences of the lengths of the front and rear thickened ends of the finished pipes are given using the “velocity wedge” (K 1 =10%), obtained as a result of modeling transients. The following conclusions can be drawn from the above dependences: the use of a “velocity wedge” gives a noticeable effect only when rolling pipes with a diameter of less than 60 mm and a wall thickness of less than 5 mm, and when larger diameter and the pipe wall thickness necessary to achieve the requirements of the standard, wall thinning does not occur.

On fig. 3.13., 3.14., 3.15., the dependences of the lengths of the front thickened end on the outer diameter of the finished pipes are given for wall thicknesses equal to 3.5, 4.0, 5.0 mm, at various values ​​of the “velocity wedge” (we took the coefficient of speed reduction rolls K 1 equal to 5%, 10%, 15%).

The dependence of the wall thickness of the front end of the pipe on the value

“speed wedge” for size 33.7x3.2 mm

Dependence of the wall thickness of the rear end of the pipe on the value of the “velocity wedge” for the size 33.7x3.2 mm

The dependence of the length of the front thickened end of the pipe on D and S (at K 1 \u003d 10%)

The dependence of the length of the rear thickened end of the pipe on D and S (at K 1 \u003d 10%)

Dependence of the length of the front thickened end of the pipe on the diameter of the finished pipe (S=3.5 mm) at different values ​​of the “velocity wedge”.

Dependence of the length of the front thickened end of the pipe on the diameter of the finished pipe (S=4.0 mm) at different values ​​of the “velocity wedge”

Dependence of the length of the front thickened end of the pipe on the diameter of the finished pipe (S=5.0 mm) at different values ​​of the “velocity wedge”.

From the above graphs, it can be seen that the greatest effect in terms of reducing the end thickness difference of the finished pipes is provided by the dynamic control of the revolutions of the PPC rolls within K 1 =10...15%. Insufficiently intense change in the “velocity wedge” (K 1 =5%) does not allow thinning the wall thickness of the end sections of the pipe.

Also, when rolling pipes with a wall thicker than 5 mm, the tension arising from the action of the “velocity wedge” is unable to thin the wall due to the insufficient pulling capacity of the rolls. When rolling pipes with a diameter of more than 60 mm, the elongation ratio in the reduction mill is small, so the thickening of the ends practically does not occur, therefore, the use of a “velocity wedge” is impractical.

The analysis of the above graphs showed that the use of the "velocity wedge" on the reduction mill TPA-80 JSC "KresTrubZavod" allows to reduce the length of the front thickened end by 30%, the rear thickened end by 25%.

As the calculations of Mochalov D.A. for more effective application“velocity wedge” to further reduce the end trim, it is necessary to ensure the operation of the first stands in the braking mode with almost full use of the power capabilities of the rolls due to the use of a more complex nonlinear dependence of the roll speed reduction coefficient in a given stand on the stand number. It is necessary to create a scientifically based methodology for determining the optimal function K i =f(i).

The development of such an algorithm for the optimal control of the RRS can serve as a goal for the further development of the UZS-R into a full-fledged APCS TPA-80. As the experience of using such process control systems shows, the regulation of the number of revolutions of the rolls during the rolling of the end sections of the pipes, according to the Mannesmann company (the package of applied programs CARTA), allows to reduce the size of the end cut of the pipes by more than 50%, due to the automatic control system for the process of reducing the pipes, which includes includes both the mill control subsystem and the measuring subsystem, as well as the subsystem for calculating the optimal reduction mode and real-time process control.

4. FEASIBILITY STUDY OF THE PROJECT

4.1 The essence of the planned activity

In this project, it is proposed to introduce the optimal speed mode of rolling on a stretch-reduction mill. Due to this measure, it is planned to reduce the consumption coefficient of the metal, and due to the reduction in the length of cut thickened ends of finished pipes, an increase in production volumes by 80 tons per month on average is expected.

Capital investments required for the implementation of this project are 0 rubles.

Financing of the project can be carried out under the item "current repairs", cost estimates. The project can be completed within one day.

4.2 Calculation of the cost of production

Calculation of the cost price of 1t. products at the existing standards for trimming the thickened ends of pipes are given in table. 4.1.

Calculation for the project is given in table. 4.2. Since the result of the implementation of the project is not an increase in output, the recalculation of the cost values ​​for the processing stage in the design calculation is not carried out. The profitability of the project is to reduce the cost by reducing trimming waste. Trimming is reduced due to a decrease in the consumption coefficient of the metal.

The financial profile of the project is shown in Figure 4.1. According to the graphs shown in fig. 4.1. the cumulative NPV of the project exceeds the planned figure, which indicates the unconditional profitability of the project. The cumulative NPV calculated for the implemented project is a positive value from the first year, since the project did not require capital investments.

Project financial profile

The break-even point is calculated by the formula:

The break-even point characterizes the minimum volume of production at which losses end and the first profit appears.

In table. 4.5. data are presented for calculating variable and fixed costs.

According to the reporting data, the amount of variable costs per unit of production is Z lane = 11212.8 rubles, the amount of fixed costs per unit of production Z post = 987.7 rubles. The amount of fixed costs for the entire volume of output according to the report is 107780796.98 rubles.

According to the design data, the amount of variable costs Z lane \u003d 11103.5 rubles, the amount of fixed costs Z post \u003d 987.7 rubles. The amount of fixed costs for the entire volume of output according to the report is 108768496.98 rubles.

Technical and economic indicators of the project are presented in Table. 4.7.

As a result, we can conclude that the measure proposed in the project will reduce the cost of a unit of manufactured products by 1.45% by reducing variable costs, which contributes to an increase in profit by 19.5 million rubles. with an annual production of 110,123.01 tons. The result of the project implementation is the growth of the cumulative net present value in comparison with the planned value in the period under review. Also a positive point is the reduction of the break-even threshold from 12.85 thousand tons to 12.8 thousand tons.

CONCLUSION

In this thesis project, a technology for the production of general-purpose pipes according to DIN 1629 was developed. The paper considers the possibility of reducing the length of thickened ends formed during rolling on a reduction mill by changing the speed settings of the mill during rolling of the end sections of the pipe using the capabilities of the UZS-R system. Calculations have shown that the reduction in the length of thickened ends can reach 50%.

Economic calculations have shown that the use of the proposed rolling modes will reduce the unit cost of production by 1.45%. This, while maintaining the existing production volumes, will make it possible to increase profits by 20 million rubles in the first year.
