The evaluation of scratch reduction in Flying Touch method by using SMCSPO

Scratch defects is occur due to impact drop and friction between the roller and slab in the conventional hot rolling method. The Flying Touch method is one of the proposed methods to improve the scratch defects. Flying Touch method is available to soft touch between the rollers and the slab. Because roller is unfixed and flexible. And Flying Touch method is proposed synchronization of the rollers' angular velocity and the slab's surface velocity. In this paper, a simulator was designed to apply and verify the Flying Touch method. After, the actual implementation was velocity synchronization of Flying Touch method in the designed simulator. Performance of scratch reduction evaluated comparative experiment to velocity de-synchronization and velocity synchronization of Flying Touch method.
