This paper introduces an artificial neural network (ANN) application to a hot strip mill to improve the model's prediction ability for rolling force and rolling torque, as a function of various process parameters. To obtain a data basis for training and validation of the neural network, numerous three dimensional finite element simulations were carried out for different sets of process variables. Experimental data were compared with the finite element predictions to verify the model accuracy. The input variables are selected to be rolling speed, percentage of thickness reduction, initial temperature of the strip and friction coefficient in the contact area. A comprehensive analysis of the prediction errors of roll force and roll torque made by the ANN is presented. Model responses analysis is also conducted to enhance the understanding of the behavior of the NN model. The resulted ANN model is feasible for on-line control and rolling schedule optimization, and can be easily extended to cover different aluminum grades and strip sizes in a straight-forward way by generating the corresponding training data from a FE model.
