Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of high value-added plate and strip products such as lightweight, high-strength steel; ultra-high-strength steel; stainless steel; and electrical steel is of great significance for upgrading the steel industry and achieving dual carbon goals, whether aimed at meeting major national strategic needs, such as defense and aerospace, or meeting the requirements of national economic industries such as power electronics and equipment manufacturing.
With the development of high-quality strip production towards high strength and thinning, rolling and control difficulties have become increasingly prominent, leading to abnormal equipment operation statuses and the degradation of product functional accuracy, causing serious value losses and bottlenecking product development and efficiency improvement. The requirements for lubrication technology and friction conditions are very strict, especially in the continuous rolling process of high-strength thin plates. Moreover, the thermal coupling effect resulting from temperature, lubrication, friction, stress, and strain is more complex, resulting in inaccurate prediction of force and energy parameters, difficulty identifying key indicator parameters, and low feedback control accuracy.
Thus, focusing on interface friction and lubrication, research on the dynamics and stability of the rolling process of plate and strip products can reveal the evolution law and instability mechanism of the dynamic behavior of these systems, which has important theoretical significance and engineering value for the prediction and maintenance of equipment performance, traceability diagnosis of product quality, and optimization of process decision-making. Moreover, it has a positive effect on improving the intelligence of core plate and strip production processes.
This Special Issue (“Intelligent Rolling Dynamics: Enhancing Friction and Lubrication in Plate and Strip Mills”) aims to collate contributions from rolling process dynamics, rolling lubrication and friction, etc., to enhance the cross integration of knowledge from these two fields and deepen our understanding regarding interfacial friction and rolling dynamics. Contributions are welcome from all scientists working in rolling processes, lubrication, friction, dynamics, and related areas.
