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.

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.

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.
