Abstract The complex design of the duo cold-mill, especially the pass. Aiming at this challenge, a parametric mathematical model of the pass is established in the present study. The cold rolling process of 50 pairs of tubes with reasonable actual rolling quality is simulated to obtain the change law of the rolling force. In the trial rolling test, it is found that there is a small part, which does not have ideal quality. In order to improve the quality of these rolling mills, tube rolling specifications for Φ43 mm × 6 mm~Φ25.4 mm × 1.2 mm are considered as an example, where the dimensional precision of the production tube is considered as the objective function and the change laws of rolling force are considered as the constraint condition. Furthermore, the orthogonal test is used to solve the constraint conditions for finding the best combination of seven design variables of the pass curve. Then the dimension of the pass curve is optimized by best combination. The optimization results show that the change laws of rolling force accord with the constraint conditions, and the average value of ΔD, γ, ΔS, and μ decreases by 63.00%, 62.89%, 58.10%, and 58.10%, respectively. It is concluded that the precision of the optimized pass is obviously better than that of the original pass. Finally, in order to verify the universality of the optimization method, the best design parameter combination for selected 20 groups of different specifications of tube rolling is investigated by the orthogonal test and the trial rolling test is carried out accordingly. The obtained results show that 90% of the rolling effect is ideal. Keywords Orthogonal test . Parametric design . Pass design of rolling mills . Pass optimization of rolling mills .

1 Introduction The rolling is a crucial plastic processing practice, through which it is possible to manufacture long products with different cross-sectional profiles and sizes [1]. Huang [2] suggested that the roll pass design had been studied for centuries; a large amount of various data, as well as the accumulation of the design and operational experience, had led to the progress of rules and expressions for the guidance of the geometric modeling of the roll pass design. The duo cold-mill has different names in different countries, including KPW (or SKW) in Germany, LG in China, and ХПТ in Russia. The pass design of the duo cold-mill refers to three aspects: the determination of the pass opening in the reduction segment, the top * Pan Huang [email protected] 1
