An analytical model for large-cylinder asymmetrical rolling is proposed based on an improved slab method, which can predict the rolling force more quickly. In this method, uneven normal and shear stresses acting on the vertical side are supposed. In the solution, the upper and lower contact lengths are different, and the roll gap is divided into four slabs. Moreover, the effects of the rolling parameters such as roll speed ratio, roll radius, exit thickness, and radius of cylinder on the rolling force and cross-shear zone ratio are investigated. The cross-shear zone ratio, which means the shear effect, is a key parameter in reducing rolling force and microstructure refinement. This method is conducted with the experimental and finite element verification, and good agreement has been found. It should be noted that the calculation result can be obtained rapidly and easily by this proposed model. Therefore, the present model is suitable for online application.

Abstract A new model for the asymmetrical rolling is proposed to calculate the minimum rollable thickness simply and fast by the slab method. The calculation formulas of the rolling pressure, the rolling force, the critical roll speed ratio and the critical front tension under different deformation zone configurations are proposed, and the deformation zone configuration - rolling parameters relationship diagram is given and analyzed. The results show that the minimum rollable thickness can be reached when the rolling parameters keep the deformation zone configuration as cross-shear zone + backward-slip zone (C+B) or all cross-shear zone (AC). The calculation formulas of the minimum rollable thickness and the required rolling parameters for different deformation zone configurations are proposed respectively. The calculated value is in good agreement with the experimental results.

AbstractAdopting the DEFORM software for the finite element analysis, this study simulated steady-state plastic deformation of the sheet at the roll-gap during asymmetrical sheet rolling. Using FEM code DEFORM, the effects of roll speed ratio, roll radius ratio, friction factor ratio upon the curvature of the rolled product and rolling force were systematically discussed. With a view to verifying the validity of the study simulated, a series of experiments on asymmetrical cold sheet rolling using Aluminum sheet as specimen are carried out. The comparisons between numerical and experimental results show good agreement. Therefore, this numerical model using DEFORM software can offer useful knowledge for designing the pass-schedule of asymmetrical sheet rolling.

Background: Rolling mill vibration mechanism is very complex, and people haven't found a satisfactory vibration control method. Rolling interface is one of the vibration sources of the rolling mill system, and its friction and lubrication state has a great impact on the vibration of the rolling mill system. It is necessary to establish an accurate friction model for unsteady lubrication process of roll gap and a nonlinear vibration dynamic model for rolling process. In addition, it is necessary to obtain more direct and real rolling mill vibration characteristics from the measured vibration signals, and then study the vibration suppression method and design the vibration suppression device. Methods: This paper summarizes the friction lubrication characteristics of rolling interface and its influence on rolling mill vibration, as well as the dynamic friction model of rolling interface, the tribological model of unsteady lubrication process of roll gap, the non-linear vibration dynamic model of rolling process, the random and non-stationary dynamic behavior of rolling mill vibration, etc. At the same time, the research status of rolling mill vibration testing technology and vibration suppression methods were summarized. Time-frequency analysis of non-stationary vibration signals was reviewed, such as wavelet transform, Wigner-Ville distribution, empirical mode decomposition, blind source signal extraction, rolling vibration suppression equipment development. Results: The lubrication interface of the roller gap under vibration state presents unsteady dynamic characteristics. The signals generated by the vibration must be analyzed in time and frequency simultaneously. In the aspect of vibration suppression of rolling mill, the calculation of inherent characteristics should be carried out in the design of rolling mill to avoid dynamic defects such as resonance. When designing or upgrading the mill structure, it is necessary to optimize the structure of the work roll bending and roll shifting system, such as designing and developing the automatic adjustment mechanism of the gap between the roller bearing seat and the mill stand, adding floating support device to the drum shaped toothed joint shaft, etc. In terms of rolling technology, rolling vibration can be restrained by improving roll lubrication, reasonably distributing rolling force of each rolling mill, reducing rolling force of vibration prone rolling mill, increasing entrance temperature, reducing rolling inlet tension, reducing strip outlet temperature and reasonably arranging roll diameter. The coupling vibration can also be suppressed by optimizing the hydraulic servo system and the frequency conversion control of the motor. Conclusion: Under the vibration state, the lubrication interface of roll gap presents unsteady dynamic characteristics. The signal generated by vibration must be analyzed by time-frequency distribution. In the aspect of vibration suppression of rolling mill, the calculation of inherent characteristics should be carried out in the design of rolling mill to avoid dynamic defects such as resonance. It is necessary to optimize the structure of work roll bending and roll shifting system when designing or reforming the mill structure. In rolling process, rolling vibration can be restrained by improving roll lubrication, reasonably distributing rolling force of each rolling mill, increasing billet temperature, reasonably arranging roll diameter and reducing rolling inlet tension. Through the optimization of the hydraulic servo system and the frequency conversion control of the motor, the coupling vibration can be suppressed. The paper has important reference significance for vibration suppression of continuous rolling mill and efficient production of high quality strip products.

Asymmetrical rolling was performed by rolling AA 1050 sheets with different velocities of upper and lower rolls. In order to study the effect of roll gap geometry on the evolution of strain states and textures during asymmetrical rolling, the reduction per rolling pass was varied. After asymmetrical rolling, the outer thickness layers depicted shear textures and the center thickness layers displayed a random texture. With decreasing reduction per an asymmetrical rolling pass, the thickness layers depicting shear textures increases. The strain states associated with asymmetrical rolling were investigated by simulations with the finite element method (FEM).

Objective of the work: develop a model for calculation of plate exit thickness. This model is supposed to improve process reliability in obtaining specified thickness with +/- 0.5 mm tolerance. The work identifies major influences on obtaining specified thickness and relationship of their effects. Based on derived relationships, the work develops rolling force calculation model with the following inputs: alloy grade, feedstock temperature, feedstock entry and exit gage, feedstock width, rotational speed of the rolls. Mill stand characteristics, like mill stiffness, backlash, work roll behavior, were studied in relation to force and temperature. The resulting model allows to predict the value of work roll gap increase during rolling. The model was validated in production environment and demonstrated high confidence level of calculation results.

The work looked into the grain refinement process of Mg alloy during asymmetrical rolling with a focus on the role of twin. The present sample was deformed at ambient temperature by single operation with the height reduction of 50% at the roll speed ratio of 1:4 for the upper and lower rolls having the same dimension. From the electron backscatter diffraction analysis in the surface region where intense shear strain was imparted, a number of { 10 1 ¯ 2 } extension twins with a width of ~1 µm were detected clearly in most of the deformed grains. Moreover, the average misorientation angle of the deformed grains in the top region was found to be ~32°, which was two times higher than that in the center area where the extension twin was detected rarely. As a result, the microstructure in the top region was refined significantly down to be ~1.1 µm with an aid of twin activities that would be discussed in this study.

Rigid plastic finite element method (RPFEM) is one of the most efficient numerical methods during the rolling process. Realizing FEM online application has been main target for many researchers. The influence of compile method, elements number, compressible parameter, friction factor and convergent criteria were investigated and RPFEM model of fast solution to strip rolling was proposed in this work. Compile method and compressible parameter have less influence on calculated rolling force. However, the iteration steps are reduced and computational efficiency is improved greatly with compile method of release and compressible parameter 0.01. The change of calculated rolling force becomes less but iteration steps become more and more with the increment of elements number. Both accuracy and efficiency is satisfying with the change of elements number from 50 to 200. In addition, the typical rolling schedule from a certain plant has been solved with the developed program FFEM-2D by FORTRAN. The predicted rolling force has a good agreement with the measured value. The iteration steps change from 12 to 36 and computational time is less than 200(ms) with the model in one pass rolling. Therefore, the accuracy is satisfying and computational time fully meets the basic requirements of FEM online application. Keywords: Rolling; RPFEM; Fast solution; Computational time

Characteristics of cross shear rolling for metal powder roll compaction were analyzed. The finite deformation elasto-plastic constitutive model and corresponding calculation code were derived based on compressible continuum mechanics. Numerical simulations were performed for the cross shear rolling of metal powder. The rolling force development law under different compaction ratio and rolling speed ratio was studied. It showed that the rolling force decreased apparently as differential velocity ratio increased. Comparisons were done between simulations and experiments from references and the reliability of the mechanical models and calculation code derived in this paper were proved.

Abstract The ever first disastrous landslide at Masuria Hill (MH) damaged many houses and properties on 4th October 2019 in surrounding residential colonies of Masuria area in the Jodhpur city, Western Rajasthan India. Present landslide not only created panic among people but also damaged properties and significant georesources which is a serious concern for future. Geologically, MH is represented by rhyolite of Malani igneous suite (MIS) of Cryogenian age which is overlain by siliciclastic rocks of Jodhpur Group (JG) of Ediacaran age of Marwar Supergroup (MSG). Landslide occur in horizontally disposed rocks of Umed Bhawan Formation (UBF) of JG. UBF is divided into 4-18m thick clay dominated soft sediments zone with sheet and release joints at the base. It is followed by 24-72m thick rigid sand zone having orthogonal jointing. This disposition of soft and rigid pattern of sedimentation of UBF is identified as the key horizons responsible for the landslide with shale horizon as the failure plane. Causes of landslide can be explain based on the model of BPSZ (Bedding Parallel Shear Zone). BPSZ is attributed to three main mechanisms: liquefaction, mass wasting and shear stresses that caused the landslide at MH. Study further reveal that residential area surrounding MH and other seven hills having similar geological disposition are under great threat to future landslide in Jodhpur. Paper also embodies characteristics of georesources having educational and cultural values which are under great threat to landslide along with appropriate hazard mitigation measures.
