Application of Mass Scaling Technology in Steel Tube Rolling by Finite Element Simulation

Abstract:

Based on Abaqus/Explicit operation platform, a finite element model of Yantai Baosteel Φ460mm PQF mill was established to study the mass scaling factors influence of the rolling process. The experimental results show that mass scaling factor has smaller impact on the temperature. Distortion of rolling force and Mises stress gradually occurs with the increase of mass scaling factor. Under the premise of ensuring the calculation accuracy, a best mass scaling factor is found to improve the computational efficiency of the model.
