This study examined a critical idling time for the roll to attain a target temperature
prior to rolling the next strip in the hot strip rolling process. Thermoelastic finite
element simulations were performed to compute the temperature evolution and resulting
thermal stress variations of the roll during rolling and idling. The results showed that
a circumferential compressive stress was generated in the roll during rolling. However,
circumferential tensile stress on the roll surface was produced very shortly (about
0.76 s) and reached about 68 MPa around 28 s after the beginning of idling. The
temperature distribution of the roll’s 1.5-mm-thick outer layer was homogenized and
reached a steady state approximately 28 s after the onset of idling. Hence, we may cut
down the long idling time (90–120 s), generally adopted in a hot strip rolling process,
to decrease (by 68.9–76.7%) the roll temperature elevated during rolling to a target
temperature.

INTRODUCTION
In the hot strip rolling process, a hot slab (1100–1200 C) is processed into
a sheet with acceptable dimensional tolerance as it passes through the stands; the
slab thickness is progressively reduced by the work rolls. Here, “stand” denotes a
unit machine with work rolls, backup rolls, a screw-down device, housing to contain
these parts, and a drive motor. The slab is called a “strip” once it is rolled into
the roughing stand. Hereafter, the work roll is simply referred to as the “roll” for
convenience.
A roll with multiple revolutions experiences cyclic thermal compressive and
tensile stresses along its circumferential direction since a roll surface gains heat
by contact with the hot strip and loses heat by water and air cooling during a
revolution. The micro cracks on the roll surface open due to the repetitive thermal
tensile stresses. As a result, the surface quality of the rolled product is degraded,

and the rolling operation should be stopped to change the rolls. This decreases
the operating hours (period of time that the rolls are in operation) of the rolls.
Therefore, understanding the temperature evolution and resulting thermal stress
variations in the roll is important to prohibit the growth of micro cracks and thus
increase the roll life.
Thermomechanical phenomena of the roll in the hot rolling process are
influenced mainly by i) water cooling parameters (spray angle, number of nozzles,
nozzle type, water pressure, and distance from a nozzle to the roll surface) and ii)
rolling parameters (strip thickness, reduction ratio, strip temperature, and rolling
speed). Many research groups have investigated the effect of these parameters on
the temperature evolution and resulting thermal stress variations in the roll.
Sun et al. [1] conducted thermomechanical analysis of the roll under the
assumption of steady-state rolling conditions using the finite element method and
examined the effect of water cooling parameters. However, their results are not
applicable to multiple revolutions of a roll. Other researchers [2–5] predicted the
temperature evolution and thermal stress variations in the roll under the assumption
of non-steady-state rolling conditions for multiple rotations using the finite element
method. Saboonchi and Abbaspour [6] employed the 2D finite difference method
to solve heat transfer differential equations of the roll with varying boundary
conditions such as the spray angle, angle of spray impact on the roll, water pressure,
and nozzle type. Serajzadeh [7] combined finite element analysis and boundary
element technique to compute the temperature field in the roll of a single stand
for reversing-type rolling. Other research groups [8–12] solved the heat transfer
differential equation of the roll using analytical methods. They replaced the complex
boundary and initial conditions with simpler ones and significantly reduced the
computation time.
However, these studies [1–12] were limited to predicting the changes in
temperature and/or thermal stress in the roll for a single rotation of the roll and/or
multiple revolutions of the roll during rolling and/or interpass times. Here, a pass
means a single rolling action, i.e., passing a material (strip) through the rolls. The
roughing mill of the hot strip rolling process has a single-stand reversing-type rolling
mill. Hence, there is an interpass time (about 10–15 s; dependent upon the roll
diameter, transportation speed of the roller table, and motor capacity) to reverse the
rotation of the rolls for further thickness reduction of the strip.
The concept of intervals exists for a finishing mill that consists of seven stands
in tandem. There is an interval between the tail of the strip (i) and head of the
strip (i + 1) (see Figure 1). During this interval, the rolls revolve under no loading.
The interval (approximately 90–120 s) depends upon the roll speed and layout of
the hot strip mill. This interval is usually called idling at the production site. The
primary aim of idling is to reduce the roll temperature raised during rolling to a
target temperature before the next strip enters between the rolls. Unless otherwise
stated, idling indicates an interval between two strips for the purposes of this article.
The target temperature indicates the initial roll temperature before rolling begins.
In this study, we have investigated the temperature evolution and resulting
thermal stress variations at different depths from the roll surface toward the roll
center during both rolling and idling operations and examined the critical idling
time for the roll between strips in the hot strip rolling process. A fully coupled
thermoelastic finite element (FE) model of the roll at the last stand (Std. No. 7)

of the finishing mill was established. The FE model was validated by comparing
the roll surface temperature computed in this study with the experimental results
reported by Stevens et al. [13], who conducted a pilot hot strip rolling test. The
element size in the proposed FE model was determined using the mesh test. Based
on the FE simulation results, we investigated whether or not the amount of idling
time (90–120 s) generally adopted in the hot strip rolling process is appropriate.
We suggest a critical idling time that decreases the roll temperature elevated during
rolling to the initial roll temperature. The effect of the initial roll temperature on
the change in the stress state of the roll during rolling and idling was also examined.
PROBLEM FORMULATION
Rolling Conditions of Hot Strip Rolling Process
In the hot strip rolling process, the final products (1.2–12.0 mm in thickness)
are produced throughout the finishing mill, which consists of seven stands in
tandem. In the production site, the rolls at the last stand (Std. No. 7) are replaced
most frequently because the surface quality of the rolled product is noticeably
influenced by the state of the roll surface at Std. No. 7. Therefore, we chose the
roll of Std. No. 7 to examine the temperature evolution and resulting thermal
stress variations. The heat conduction from the hot strip to only the work roll was

modeled by using a convective-type boundary condition. The backup roll was not
considered because its effect on the roll surface temperature was small [1].
Figure 2(a) shows a set of water-cooling nozzles mounted around the upper
roll and strip being rolled at Std. No. 7. The lower roll and half of the strip were
omitted for convenience. C1 denotes the forced convective cooling zone where water
sprayed from nozzle No. 1 comes in contact with the roll surface. The same is true
for C2–C4. Table 1 provides the locations of the four nozzles, spray angle, amount
of water flux coming out of each nozzle, and distance from a nozzle to the roll
surface. The roll diameter and strip velocity were 700 mm and 11.7 m/s, respectively.
The entry and exit thicknesses of the strip are 1.62 and 1.48 mm, respectively. The
temperatures of the strip and water are 860 and 16 C, respectively.
Figure 2(b) illustrates three angular zones with differing surface cooling
conditions as the roll revolves. The roll surface gains heat by contacting with the
strip and loses heat by convection and radiation to the surrounding air. In the water-
cooling zone, the roll temperature drops rapidly due to water sprayed from the
nozzle. For each revolution, the roll goes through three boundary zones (contact,
air cooling, and water cooling) in sequence. The contact zone is excluded during

where r ∗ denotes the distance from the roll center to a point, which is close to
the roll surface and R indicates the roll radius. Hence, R−r ∗ means the outer layer
thickness of the roll. Heat conduction occurs within the outer layer of the roll
R–r ∗ since the heat flux from the strip into the roll is always slightly larger than the
heat flux from the roll into the cooling sprays and surrounding. qt is the heat flux
on the roll surface, which is divided into the contact, air cooling, and water cooling
zones (See Figure 2(b)). Contact zone indicates the region where the temperature on
roll surface layer is risen due to physical contact between the roll and hot strip. Air
cooling zone implies the area where the temperature on roll surface layer drops by
natural convection.
THERMAL STRESS EVOLUTION DURING ROLLING AND IDLING 987
Descending temperature in the air cooling zone is smaller than that in the
contact zone. Water cooling zone is the region where the temperature on roll surface
layer falls rapidly by water cooling. In this way, the roll surface layer is subject to
quick temperature change due to the alternating contact with the hot strip and the
cooling water in every rotation. On the other hand, there is no temperature rise in
the roll surface layer during idling since there is no a direct contact between the roll
and hot strip. The heat flux on the three contact zones are described as follows:
In the contact zone,

where fric = −

hc and Ts are the interface (contact) heat transfer coefficient and the surface
temperature of the strip. The second term on the right-hand side of Eq. (4) denotes
heat due to the friction between the strip and roll. It is assumed that half of the heat
flows into the roll. t and ¯ t are the tangential component of velocity vector of the
strip and roll, respectively. Hence, vr is the relative tangential velocity between the
strip and roll. fric ,

Coulomb friction coefficient, respectively. Note when
n is greater than the shear
yield stress of the strip, sticking friction occurs. The function gvr in Eq. (5) was
introduced by Chen and Kobayashi [14] to deal with both the sliding and sticking
friction in the contact zone:
v
gr = − r (6)
vr
However, for a given normal stress, the tangential (friction) stress in Eq. (5) has a
step function behavior upon the value of vr . The discontinuity of the value of fric
results in no converged solution.
In order to overcome this difficulty, Chen and Kobayashi modified the
function gvr in the followings
2
gr = − tan−1 r (7)
b
where b is a positive constant that is several orders less than the roll velocity so
that the function gvr in Eq. (7) is almost identical to that in Eq. (6) for vr
slightly larger than zero. Note that the magnitude of b has almost no effect on the
magnitude of tangential (friction) stress if the value of b is several orders less than
the roll velocity [1, 14]. The role of very small positive number b is to avoid poor
convergence.

This fully coupled temperature–displacement system can be solved by using
the Newton–Raphson method. The commercial FE program, Abaqus Ver. 6.11 [19]
offers an exact implementation of Newton’s method. The implicit time integration
method was employed, and the element type used for the roll was CPE4T
(four-node plane strain thermally coupled quadrilateral, bilinear displacement, and
temperature).
Mesh Test
A preliminary FE analysis was performed to determine the element size at
the outer layer of the roll at Std. No. 7 of an actual hot strip mill. First, we
utilized Stevens et al.’s roll surface temperature measurements obtained from the
pilot hot rolling test. Figure 5 compares the predicted roll surface temperatures with
those measured by Stevens et al. [13] when the element height (element size toward
the radial direction of the roll) is fixed to 1.0 mm and the element width (element
size toward the circumferential direction of the roll) varies. For an element width
of 1.7 mm, there are some differences between the measurements and predictions.

Figure 5 Comparison of measured and predicted roll surface temperatures for different element sizes
when the roll rotates once. Roll surface temperatures were obtained from a pilot hot rolling test [13].
The diameter of the roll used in the pilot hot-rolling mill was 193 mm.
However, the differences were reduced at element widths of 3.4 and 6.8 mm. Note
that the ratio of the perimeter of the roll (=193 mm) used in Stevens et al.’s [13]
rolling test over the element width w (=34 mm) was 568. This ratio is used to
determine the element width of the outer layer of the roll at Std. No. 7.
Figure 6 shows the variation in maximum temperature on the roll surface
when the element width W varies for three different element heights H1 , H2 , and H3

at Std. No. 7. The variation patterns of the maximum roll surface temperature as a
function of the aspect ratio are similar for H1 , H2 , and H3 , but their magnitudes are
different. In the case of H1 , the maximum temperature on the roll surface converges
to 300 C. Serajzadeh and Mucciardi [21] and Belzunce et al. [22] reported that the
maximum roll surface temperature in the actual hot strip rolling process reached
around 300 C.
Thus, H1 (=05 mm) may be a suitable element height H. Finally, element
width W may be determined by using the ratio of 568 mentioned above.
W (= 1232 mm) is then obtained by dividing the perimeter of the roll at Std. No. 7
(700 mm) by the ratio of 568. Thus, the element size used in the outer layer of the
roll is 12.32 mm (W) × 0.5 mm (H). The outer layer toward the roll center has four
elements; therefore, the thickness of the outer layer is 2.0 mm. Coarser elements are
used in the remaining roll region.
Time step, i.e., time increment is dependent on the mesh size in the outer layer
of the roll. Table 4 shows that the state of temperatures in the outer roll layer of

the run time, time increment 0.002 s was selected in the FE analysis. Table 5 shows
the list of parameters used in finite element analysis.

r and Ur are the thermal diffusivity and rolling speed. x1 and yr are the contact
length of the roll-strip interface and the thickness of thermal boundary layer, i.e.,
the outer layer thickness of the roll (= R−r ∗ ). The thermal diffusivity of roll of the
last stand r is 47E10−6 m2 /sec.
In the last stand, the contact length between the roll and the strip is 24.5 mm
and rolling speed is 11.7 m/s. Therefore, the computed roll Peclet number is 24765
and yr is 0.1557 mm. If rolling speed is reduced by 20%, Pr = 19812 and yr =
01741 mm. The roll Peclet number is 29718 and yr = 01421 mm if rolling speed is
increased by 20%. It denotes that the effect of roll rotation rate is very small.
THERMAL STRESS EVOLUTION DURING ROLLING AND IDLING 995
Because the Peclet numbers are very large, conduction parallel to the interface
is negligible. It indicates two modes of heat transfer (convection parallel to the roll-
strip interface and conduction normal to this direction) prevail during rolling. The
thickness of thermal boundary layer (0.1557 mm) predicted by the Peclet number is
very thin compared with the thermal boundary layer (R−r ∗ = 141 mm) predicted
by finite element analysis.
About two orders of magnitude gap can be attributed to the Peclet number
only being applicable to a cold rolling process where the inlet strip temperature and
roll temperature are equal. Thus, the thickness of thermal boundary layer (R−r ∗ =
141 mm) predicted by FEA might be reasonable because the initial roll temperature
(30 C) is greatly lower than the strip temperature (about 860 C).

justification for setting the initial roll temperature to 30 C (see Figure 7(a)), and this
temperature (30 C) might actually be a conservative estimate.

denote the starting and end points of water cooling zones. When sections B–C, D–E,
and F–A are subjected to air cooling, the temperature falls slowly by radiation.
These alphabet characters are fixed in space and not to the roll; they
correspond to those in Figure 9(b). For multiple revolutions of the roll, the
temperature profile of the roll surface underwent the temperature cycle mentioned
here. The roll surface temperature dropped below the initial roll temperature
(100 C) after about 85 C (indicated by the number 1 in Figure 9(a)). Similarly,
the roll surface temperature fell below the initial roll temperature after about 75 C
(indicated by the number 2 in Fig. 9(a)) when the initial roll temperature was set
to 200 C. However, the roll surface temperature was higher than the initial roll
temperature for the whole rotation when the initial roll temperature was set to
998 D.-H. NA ET AL.
30 C. This is because the difference between the water temperature (16 C) and initial
roll temperature (30 C) was small, and water was not sprayed over the whole roll
surface.
Figure 9(c) shows the stress variation on the roll surface for a single rotation of
the roll. In the beginning, compressive stress prevailed on the roll surface, but tensile
stress started to occur when the initial roll temperature was relatively high (100 and
200 C). The numbers 1 and 2 in Figure 9(c) correspond with those in Figure 9(a).
This change in the stress state can be explained by the term T in Eq. (8). Note that
T = initial roll temperature - current surface temperature. T was negative until
the point rotated from zero to the angles indicated by the numbers 1 and 2. Hence,
a compressive stress was produced.
However, T became positive when the point passed through the angles
indicated by the numbers 1 and 2. Tensile stress was then generated. Meanwhile,
when the initial roll temperature was 30 C, T was negative throughout one
revolution. Therefore, compressive stress was generated the entire time. In other
words, tensile stress was not generated on the roll surface during rolling when the
initial roll temperature was less than or equal to 30 C.

CONCLUSIONS
We have analyzed the temperature evolutions and resulting stress changes of
the work roll during both rolling and idling at the last stand (Std. No. 7) of a
finishing mill in the actual hot strip rolling process to examine the critical idling
time for the work roll between strips. To reduce the run time, we have used a virtual
rolling approach that utilizes the similarities between hot strip rolling and a disc-pad
brake of an automobile. The finite element model used in this study was validated
by comparing the computed roll surface temperature with that measured by Stevens
et al. [13]. Our conclusions are as follows:
Circumferential tensile stress is not generated in the roll during rolling if the
initial roll temperature is equal to 30 C. However, circumferential tensile stress
(about 68 MPa) was created on the roll surface very shortly after idling began
(about 0.76 s). The temperature at the roll surface increased to 300 C during rolling
decreases of 30 C about 28 s after the onset of idling. Therefore, the idling time
of 120 s that has been adopted at the last stand to reduce the roll temperature
to the initial roll temperature (30 C) prior to rolling the next strip is too much.
We recommend that the idling time be decreased from 120 s to 28 s: i.e., by 76.7%.
1000 D.-H. NA ET AL.
This decrease will significantly reduce the chances of growth of preexisting micro
cracks on the roll surface and consequently increase the roll life and decrease water
usage in the actual hot strip rolling process.
