The aim of this paper is to critically assess the potential of mathematical modelling which uses finite element method software for solving operation problems in the hot rolling of flat and long products. We focused on concrete issues faced by rolling plants in the Moravian-Silesian region (Czech Republic). The investigation was always combined with field or pilot measurements or laboratory experiments.

Thermomechanical simulation of a rolling process with an FEM approach

Journal of Materials Processing Technology, 1999

The authors propose a model for the study of a hot rolling process, and the approach is based on thermo-mechanical analysis using the Finite-Element Method (FEM). The model can be used to speed up and improve the design and evaluation of the roughing and finishing phases in plate and sheet production. It is able to calculate the temperature distribution in the roll and the plate, the stress and strain fields, throughout a transient analysis done starting from the first phases of the process. The main hypotheses adopted in the formulation are: the elasto-plastic behaviour of the material; and rolling under plane-deformation conditions. The main variables that characterise the rolling process, such as the geometry of the plate and the roll, the loads and the boundary conditions (radius of the rolls, rolling speed, initial and final thickness, initial temperatures of the plate and the roll), have been expressed in a parametric form, this approach giving a good flexibility to the model. During the simulation, an iterative procedure enables the calculation and updating of the load conditions, such as the heat produced by friction on the plate–roll contact arc, and that caused by plastic deformation. The congruence of the results has been evaluated using experimental and theoretical data available in the literature.

Numerical Simulation of Strip Shape of High-Strength Steel during Hot Rolling Process

Key Engineering Materials, 2020

High-strength steel is widely applied due to its excellent mechanical properties. However, its high strength in turn brings great difficulties to production and processing such as hot strip rolling owing to the high rolling force, which results in large elastic deformation of roll stack and poses a huge challenge to the control of strip crown and flatness. In this paper, A three-dimensional (3D) elastic-plastic coupled thermo-mechanical finite element (FE) model for hot strip rolling of high-strength steel is developed and then verified experimentally. This model not only calculates the elastic deformation of rolls and plastic deformation of strip simultaneously, but also considers the effect of temperature variation during hot strip rolling. Based on this valid model, the effects of bending force and shifting value of work roll (WR), back-up roll (BR) size, entrance strip crown and rolling force on strip crown have been investigated quantitatively. The results obtained provide valu...

FEM Analysis of Effect of Rolling Parameters on Cold Rolling Process

Bonfring

A FEM simulation study was carried out to investigate the influence of the rolling parameters on the rolling process. Using commercial FEM software, ABAQUS, a number of cases were studied. In this paper, a two-dimensional Elastic-plastic finite element model to simulate the cold rolling of thick strip with different roll angular velocity and roll diameter models is described. The angular velocity of the rigid rolls ranged from 30 to 480 revolutions per minute (r.p.m.) and the rigid roll diameter ranged from 100 to 300 mm. The initial feeding speed of the plate and friction was kept constant, thus causing a slip between the plate and the roll surfaces. The main interest of this study is to see whether the speed of the rolls and the diameter of the rolls have any influence on the contact pressure and the residual stress in cold rolling process. The roll speed is an easily controlled operational parameter which may be used to enhance the process and the quality of the final products by changing the roller diameter and see the effect of stress and contact pressure on the thick plates strip is new one.
