A New Method Predicting Contact Length and Flattening in Temper Rolling

Article Preview

Abstract:

The current trend in temper rolling is to make a small reduction to steel strip in order to achieve higher strength with good formability and toughness. In addition, very high strength steels can be cold rolled twice with very small reductions. This causes problems in setup values for cold rolling. Rolling models are usually overestimating roll flattening in the case of small reductions.In temper rolling thickness reduction is small (0.5 – 3%) and the elastic deformation of the work roll should be taken into account [3]. However, standard circular arc roll gap models (e.g. Bland Ford Ellis combined with Hitchcock model) fail to predict the roll flattening and thus the rolling force [4]. In this work, finite element method has been used to define a simplified model for work roll flattening and contact length. Model describes the effect of reduction, strength of steel strip and roll radius.
