Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided are methods that can prevent either or both of kinking and collapsing of a steel sheet coiled in coil form regardless of the characteristics of the steel sheet. A method of determining a tension pattern of tension applied to a steel sheet to coil the steel sheet in coil form comprises calculating the tension pattern using an apparent elastic modulus in a radial direction of a coil.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of coiling a steel sheet, the method comprising: determining a tension pattern of tension applied to the steel sheet when coiling the steel sheet on a mandrel of a tension reel; and coiling the steel sheet on the mandrel of the tension reel according to the determined tension pattern to achieve a coil, wherein the determining the tension pattern comprises calculating a stress distribution in the coil after removal from the mandrel using an apparent elastic modulus in a radial direction of a coil comprising steel sheet layers and an air layer present therebetween, the apparent elastic modulus being obtained through actual measurement. 2. The method of coiling a steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein when determining the tension pattern, circumferential stress in the coil after removal from the mandrel is used as an objective variable or a constraint condition. 3. The method of coiling a steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein when determining the tension pattern, radial stress in the coil after removal from the mandrel is used as an objective variable or a constraint condition. 4. The method of coiling a steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein a sheet thickness of the steel sheet is 0.5 mm or less. 5. The method of coiling a steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the steel sheet has a coating layer on at least one surface thereof. 6. The method of coiling a steel sheet according to claim 2 , wherein when determining the tension pattern, radial stress in the coil after removal from the mandrel is used as an objective variable or a constraint condition. 7. The method of coiling a steel sheet according to claim 2 , wherein a sheet thickness of the steel sheet is 0.5 mm or less. 8. The method of coiling a steel sheet according to claim 3 , wherein a sheet thickness of the steel sheet is 0.5 mm or less. 9. The method of coiling a steel sheet according to claim 2 , wherein the steel sheet has a coating layer on at least one surface thereof. 10. The method of coiling a steel sheet according to claim 3 , wherein the steel sheet has a coating layer on at least one surface thereof. 11. The method of coiling a steel sheet according to claim 4 , wherein the steel sheet has a coating layer on at least one surface thereof.
