Abstract:

Cold rolling forces are strongly affected by lubrication and material properties, and maypotentially be used to estimate material property variations along the coil. The 1D slab method iscommonly used to estimate rolling forces as it is computationally inexpensive. By model definition,the pressure distribution as modelled in the slab method has a single peak or friction hill in the rollbite. However, it has been observed in several studies that multiple local peaks can appear in thepressure distribution in the roll bite. Additionally, material anisotropy also affects the contact pressuredistribution and steady state roll force. In the present work, a 2D plane strain finite element rollingmodel is used for a detailed sensitivity study of the multitude of parameters that affect the verticalpressure distribution and the steady state roll force. The considered model parameters are materialanisotropy, entry sheet thickness, roll radius, tensions, coefficient of friction and roll gap.
