Modelization of the Rolling Mill with a FE Code

Article Preview

Abstract:

To reduce production costs and to improve performances of hot rolled products, it is necessary to optimize the production line. The rolling mill is one of the major factors which affect the internal quality. In fact the process tends to reduce the size of defects during the strain. The production line consisting of 24 stands has been modeled with a commercial FE-code FORGE®. First, a model has been developed and adjusted according to industrial data. Then a parametric study was carried out in order to estimate the influence of the process parameters on the internal quality of the rolled material.
