Abstract

The remanufacturing of rolling mill rolls offers significant economic, environmental, and societal benefits. However, the uncertainty surrounding the performance degradation of retired rolls and its associated timeline poses challenges to the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of roll remanufacturing operations. Therefore, the real-time monitoring of the degradation status of rolling mill rolls is of paramount importance. This study presents an approach that combines multi-sensor data fusion with a multilayer perceptron (MLP) model, which takes into account economic considerations to predict the degradation status of hot-rolling mill work rolls and make online decisions for active remanufacturing. The degradation process of rolling mill rolls is analyzed, and degradation performance indicators are established. Eddy current signals and torque signals from the rolling mill surface are collected during the roll degradation experiments. The friction coefficient and energy of the Hilbert spectrum of the eddy current signal are used as online input features for the MLP model, which is trained using the degradation experiment data. The superiority of the proposed MLP model is validated through rolling mill roll degradation experiments. Based on the predictions of the MLP model, the optimal timing for remanufacturing rolling mill rolls in the time domain is evaluated using Wiener and update-reward theories. This approach enables the online monitoring and quantitative characterization of the comprehensive degradation of high-speed steel work rolls and facilitates online decision-making regarding the optimal timing for active remanufacturing.
