Mechanics of a Special Asymmetric Rolling of Thin Strip

Abstract:

Asymmetric rolling is used to produce thinner strip, which can reduce rolling force significantly. When a thinner strip is rolled on a rolling mill, work roll edge may contact each other, which affects the mechanics of this special asymmetric rolling and the crown of the rolled strip. In this paper, the authors developed a numerical model to simulate this special rolling and obtained the rolling force, intermediate force, roll edge contact force, the crown of the rolled strip and the edge contact length. The effects of the initial thickness of strip and the friction variation at upper and lower work rolls on the rolling force and crown of the rolled strip are also discussed.
