Friction and Forward Slip in High-Speed Cold Rolling Process of Aluminum Alloys

Abstract:

Effects of process parameters on friction in cold strip rolling process have been studied in this article. The prime objective is to examine the major parameters affecting the metal working process. A varying coefficient of friction through the roll contact arc has been determined. A few formulae, commonly used to predict the coefficient of friction from forward slip measurements of a rolling process, have been evaluated according to forward slip measurements and coefficient of friction data. Essentially, this article bridges the industrial constant coefficient friction approach from forward slip measurements with the academic varying coefficient of friction strategy. A systems analysis has been made regarding the effects of potentially important parameters on friction in cold rolling. Based on this analysis, the effects of a few parameters have been identified of most importance.
