In order to research the forming process of H-beam, based on the large H-beam production line of HN600x200, the Standard and Explicit solver of ABAQUS are synthetically used to establish finite element model for rolling process and inter-pass thermolysis process. The reciprocation multi-pass rolling process simulation procedure based on the re-meshing technology is used to simulate the whole production process form blanks to finish products, and the continuity of data is ensured. Based on the simulation results, the deformation and rolling force of the roller as well as the metal flowing law and temperature field of workpiece are discussed emphatically. The results clearly show that the displacement of roller contains the elastic deformation and the deflection, and the counterforce of left adds to the counterforce of right is about equal to the resultant force. The simulation results are compared with the measuring results, which proves the correctness of simulation.

The aim of this paper is to determine whether the train axle cross wedge rolling(CWR) using square billet as blank is available or not. Based on numerical simulation software DEFORM-3D, we built the finite element model. And the whole forming process was simulated successfully. The stress and strain distributions of workpiece in the process were analyzed. The effect of forming angle, stretching angle and billet size on rolling force was investigated, then determined the proper process parameters. The differences between the round billet rolling and the square billet rolling were obtained by comparing the tangential, axial and radial forces during the rolling process. The studied results show the availability of using square billet as blank in train axle CWR and provide important realistic meaning and application value.

Rolling Practice

The Standard and Explicit solver of ABAQUS were synthetically used to establish finite element model for reciprocating multi-pass rough rolling of large H-beam, in which the re-meshing technique was utilized to solve the problem of excessive deformation and rollers’ deformation were taken into simulation to increase the accuracy. Based on the simulation results, stress field, thermal field and deformation behavior of the workpiece were discussed. It clearly showed that the main deformation of profiled blank in rough rolling was web broadening. Compare the analytical rolling force results to the practical rolling process, and this method could provide some valuable references to the rolling practice.

Based on Abaqus/Explicit operation platform, a finite element model of Yantai Baosteel Φ460mm PQF mill was established to study the mass scaling factors influence of the rolling process. The experimental results show that mass scaling factor has smaller impact on the temperature. Distortion of rolling force and Mises stress gradually occurs with the increase of mass scaling factor. Under the premise of ensuring the calculation accuracy, a best mass scaling factor is found to improve the computational efficiency of the model.

Roll Gap

Using rigid-plastic finite element DEFORMTM 2D software, this study simulates the plastic deformation of complex sheets at the roll gap during the sheet rolling process. Specifically, the study addresses the deformation of complex sheets containing inclusion defects. Under various rolling conditions, the present numerical analysis investigates the damage factor distributions, the void length at the front and rear of the inclusion, the deformation mechanisms, and the stress-strain distributions around the inclusion. The relative influences of the thickness reduction, the roll radii, and the friction factors on the void length at the front and rear of the inclusion, respectively, are systematically examined. Additionally, the correlation between the front and rear void lengths and a series of damage factors is explored. The simulation results appear to verify the suitability of the DEFORMTM 2D software for modeling the rolling of complex sheets containing inclusions.

In this paper, a 2-D nonlinear thermo-mechanical coupled finite element model was developed to simulate the vacuum hot bulge forming process of rotor-can with the aid of finite element software MSC.Marc. Thermal physical and mechanical properties of materials vary with temperature in the model. In addition, the effects of high temperature creep properties of materials on the vacuum hot bulge forming process of rotor-can were considered. The temperature field, the stress-strain field and the displacement field of rotor-can during vacuum hot bulge forming process were calculated. This work is beneficial to understand the vacuum hot bulge forming process of rotor-can and lays a good foundation for future work.

Due to the complexity of H-beam’s cross section, it is difficult to calculate the rolling force and force torque accurately using classic formulas conveniently when H-beams of new size are developed. This paper describes an investigation into the reversing process of H-beam using MARC software and compares the results with rolling data from the production line. A FEM model involving in three-dimensional, elastic-plastic and thermo-mechanical coupling has been established successfully to predict multi-pass rolling process. The analysis produces outputs such as deformation rules, rolling force and the web thickening. The influence of rolling reduction, the reduction rate between the web and flange are also discussed. The indications are that there is much difference between the measurement of rolling force and the rolling force calculated by using classic formulas. The reason is that real reduction during rolling process is much more than the scheduled one. A new revised method was suggested to calculate the rolling force. The simulation results show that this new method for calculating rolling force is feasible.

Cold rolled thin strip has received a great deal of attention through technological and theoretical progress in the rolling process, as well as from researchers who have focused on some essential parameters of strip such as its shape and profile. This paper describes the development of a 3-D finite element model of the shape of thin strip during cold rolling to simulate the cold rolling of WCS (work roll crossing and shifting) in asymmetric rolling. This finite element model considers the asymmetrical rolling parameters such as variations in the diameters of the rolls and the crossing angle as the work roll shifts on the strip during cold rolling. The shape and profile of the strip are discussed in the asymmetrical and symmetrical rolling conditions, while the total rolling force and distribution of stress are discussed in the case where the roll cross angle and axial shifting roll changes. The results can then be used to control the shape and profile of thin strip during rolling.

Strip Quality

Strip shape is an important factor affecting the strip quality significantly during cold rolling of thin strip. In the paper, finite element simulation models of the strip shape in cold rolling for both symmetrical and asymmetrical rolling cases were successfully developed. The strip edge drop and the effect of the rolling force on the strip shape (the thickness distribution along the strip width) have been obtained. The developed finite element model has been verified with the experimental value, which shows they are in good agreement. The obtained results are applicable to control the rolled thin strip shape during cold rolling practice.

The updating geometric method was proposed to simulate the deformation behavior of workpiece during multipass shape rolling by using finite element method. Firstly, establish and solve the finite element model of the first pass shape rolling process, then update the geometric shape of workpiece after the first pass and delete rolls of the first pass, establish and mesh rolls of the second pass, modify the boundaries and material parameters of workpiece, and solve its deformation behavior during the second pass shape rolling. With the same steps, its deformation behavior during the following passes rolling could be solved. The method was applied to simulate the deformation behavior of a cube workpiece during six-pass H-beam rolling with split-rolling, and its shapes after every pass rolling process were obtained. Experiments on the deformation behavior of slab during multipass rolling were carried out by using pure lead in an experimental mill. The calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental ones.
