Model Approaches for Simulation of Processes in Rod and Wire Production

摘要

Actual improvements in rod or wire production e.g. in relation to power requirements, energy consumption and final material properties demand powerful simulation tools for process optimisation, pre-setting calculations or automation. The groove pass design model of TU Bergakademie Freiberg was developed and applied for those purposes. This paper provides a short overview of the history of the model approaches and highlights some important stages of development.
