Material Model for the Production of Steel Fibers by Notch Rolling and Fulling

Abstract:

Concrete, which is reinforced by steel fibers, represents a multifunctional building material that is able to realize flexible but stable structures. As an alternative to the energy-intensive conventional production procedure wire drawing, a combination of a notch rolling and cyclic bending process is proposed by Stahl [1] to produce those fibers. Besides representing the properties of steel fibers and the overall process, the paper brings the layout of both process steps into focus. Since notch rolling for the production of wire strip is mainly unexplored, a general conceptual design of the process and the rolling tools is performed, supplemented by a similar study on the fulling process. To enable a further evaluation of the process chain and its relevant process parameters, a numerical and experimental test phase using strip of a dual phase steel DP600 with a sheet thickness of t₀ = 0.8 mm is intended in future. For ensuring high-quality numerical model, relevant behavior of the test strip is characterized through appropriate experiments and according material models in the present paper.
