Abstract The results of three-dimensional simulation of asymmetric rolling, using Finite Elements Method, are presented. The example case of low carbon steel is considered. The rolling asymmetry, considered in the present work, results from different angular velocities of two identical working rolls. The effects of asymmetry on stress and strain distributions, material bending and variations of normal force and torque exerted by rolls are calculated and discussed. A special emphasis is done on the influence of inclined entry of a rolled material, which can appear in sequential rolling. Such the entry can partly compensate the material bending during. The results of the present simulations show that optimum parameters can be found in order to minimize the effect of sheet curvature and to reduce the applied torque and normal rolling force. The predicted internal stress distributions were applied next in the crystallographic deformation model; the predicted textures of symmetric and asymmetric rolling are in good agreement with experimental results.

Macro Scale

The crystallographic texture formation in low carbon steel during asymmetric rolling was studied experimentally and analysed numerically. Modelling of plastic deformation was done in two scales: in the macro-scale using the finite element method ( FEM) and in crystallographic scale using the polycrystalline deformation model (LW model). The stress distribution in the rolling gap was calculated using FEM and next these stresses were applied in LW model of polycrystalline plastic deformation. In general, the predicted textures agree very well with experimental ones.

A 36-month program supported by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) was conducted to demonstrate the feasibility to predictably laser form a variety of ferrous and non-ferrous metals of different thickness. Laser forming provides a method of producing complex shapes in sheet, plate, and tubing without the use of tooling, molds, or dies. By heating a localized area with a laser beam, it is possible to create stress states that result in predictable deformation. This research program has developed, refined and demonstrated constitutive and empirical, and neural network models to predict deformation as a function of critical parametric variables and established an understanding of the effect of laser forming on some metallurgical properties of materials. The program was organized into two, time-phased tasks. The first task involved forming flat plates to one-dimensional (I -D) shapes, such as, hinge bends in various materials including low-carbon steel, high-strength steels, nickel-based super alloys, and aluminum alloys. The second task expanded the work conducted in the first task to investigate three-dimensional (3-D) configurations. The models were updated, 3-D specimens fabricated and evaluated, and cost benefit analyses were performed.

Brittle Ductile Transition

Brittle-ductile transition (BDT) behaviour was investigated in low carbon steel deformed by an accumulative roll-bonding (ARB) process. The temperature dependence of its fracture toughness was measured by conducting four-point bending tests at various temperatures and strain rates. The fracture toughness increased while the BDT temperature decreased in the specimens deformed by the ARB process. Arrhenius plots between the BDT temperatures and the strain rates indicated that the activation energy for the controlling process of the BDT was not changed by the deformation with the ARB process. It was deduced that the decrease in the BDT temperature by grain refining was not due to the increase in the dislocation mobility controlled by short-range barriers. Quasi-three-dimensional simulations of dislocation dynamics, taking into account of crack tip shielding due to dislocations, were performed to investigate the effect of a dislocation source spacing along a crack front on the BDT. The simulation indicated that the BDT temperature is decreased with decreasing in the dislocation source spacing. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed that moving dislocations were impinged against grain boundaries and were reemitted from there with increasing strain. It indicates that grain boundaries can be new sources in ultra-fine grained materials, which increases toughness at low temperatures.

Flat Rolling

The sheet manufacturing process, which involves various solid-state transformations such as phase transformations, plastic deformation and thermally activated recovery processes, determines the texture of steel and aluminium sheet. The conventional process of flat rolling and annealing only offers limited degrees of freedom to modify the texture of the final product. After annealing a {111} recrystallization fibre in BCC alloys and a cube dominated recrystallization texture in FCC metals is commonly obtained. Many applications, however, require other texture components than the ones achievable by conventional processing. In the present paper it is shown that by asymmetric rolling of a Si-alloyed ultra-low carbon steel a texture can be obtained with increased intensity on the {001} fibre, which is of interest for magnetic applications. Also in aluminium alloys the strong cube annealing texture can be drastically modified by the process of asymmetric rolling. It is argued that by observing the proper rolling and annealing conditions a recrystallization texture with improved normal and planar anisotropy of the mechanical properties may be produced.

To improve the impeller safety and reliability of extractable explosion-proof contra-rotating axial fan for mine local ventilation, Extractable Fan FBDC№9.0/2×30 was taken as the research object, and an approximate three-dimensional finite element computation model was built by using ANSYS software. The stress and displacement were calculated, too. By testing, the fan works stably. The air quantity is 655-978 m3/min, total pressure, 3443-412Pa, static pressure, 3314-118Pa. And the highest static pressure efficiency is up to 70.35%, A-weight Specific Sound Level is 17.5dB. Furthermore, the intension and stiffness of the impeller meet requirements. Sample test and field using show that the computation and the model of this impeller are right. Through reasonable design, the impeller of contra-rotating axial fan with equally-thick circular arc blade profile and ordinary hot-rolling low-carbon steel blades has the intension and the stiffness which meets demands, and the air performance reaches higher level.

Abstract Extra-low carbon steel had been rolled in conventional hot rolling mill. For improving its mechanical and metallurgical properties, its high phase transformation temperature typically encountered in the finishing mill section that results in abrupt change of flow stress and consequently the rolling force. A simple temperature/force model is proposed to predict the strip temperature and mill loading force to achieve better understanding of complicated phenomena encountered in the field and also for future initial rolling condition setup. Preliminary results based on the model are satisfactorily close to the on-line rolling data from the seven-stand mill of China Steel Corporation.
