Problems Associated with Modeling Interpass Softening during Industrial Hot Strip Rolling

Abstract:

The problems associated with the use of conventional rolling mill models are described. These include the unavoidable variations in temperature and strain rate (rolling speed) during rolling. They are exacerbated by the wide variety of mill types and configurations found in industry and their correspondingly broad ranges of interpass time. Finally, a major limitation arises from the approach currently employed to model the “strain accumulation” attributable to incomplete softening between passes, particularly during the processing of microalloyed steels.

[25] is an oversimplification. For example, when there is partial softening after just one pass, the retained strain cannot exceed the pass strain, i. e., the product λ(1 - X) in Eq. (11) cannot exceed 1. This leads to the following upper bound for λ: ( )X−≤λ 11 . Thus the λ parameter can very well be greater than unity for any X > 0.
