Modeling the effects of friction and geometry on deformation path during hot rolling of aluminum

摘要

In this work, a parametric study of hot rolling is conducted. The effect of friction model, friction coefficient, roll gap geometry and temperature on the deformation rate field is demonstrated. This parameter space is restricted to a region which is tractable, yet provides considerable variety in the features of non-uniform deformation developed in rolling. The degree and nature of redundant work (shearing) is contrasted for different stream-line locations within the bite. Recommendations for the application of material models in analysis of rolling is made with consideration of the simulation predictions.
