- 1 - Building the Model of Forward Slip Parameter in Rail Rolling by Universal? Song Jian-feng, Dong Yonggang, Zhang Wen-zhi College of mechanical engineering，Yanshan University, Qinhuangdao, China (066004) E-mail: dyg@ Abstract In rolling rail by universal mill, the forward-slip coefficient is one of the most important parameters. For simplifying the analytic model, the vertical roll with box pass has been simplified as an equivalent flat roll by solving the critical point firstly. Then the neutral angle of horizontal roll and vertical roll has been represented and the neutral line on the flank of horizontal roll has been solved. Furthermore, the influencing factors as many as possible have been considered in this study and the forward slip coefficient of the web has been proposed respectively according to the different position of neutral line. Moreover, forward-slip coefficient of the top and base rail has been solved by the equilibrium equation of torque. The theoretical results is in agreement with the experimental data basically and approaches that well. So, this theoretical model can be applied in rail rolling. KEY WORDS: rail; forward slip; neutral angle; neutral line; universal mill 1. Introduction Since 1970, the universal rolling methods has been applied in H-beam rolling widely and the theoretical research about that has been carried out[1-5], moreover, the numerical simulation by FEM has been used in universal rolling process[6-8].Then the theory of universal rolling methods has been developed and improved. Although the universal rolling method has been also applied in rail rolling for 30 years, there are few theoretical research about the rail rolling by universal mills. At present, the application of universal mill becomes more and more prevalent in producing the high-precision rail, and it has been taking the place of conventional producing methods gradually. For the certain similarity of rail rolling and H-beam rolling
