Numerical modelling of the round bar rolling process, while considering the wear of the passes depending on their shape, was carried out within the present work. For the theoretical study of the rolling process, the Forge2008® was employed, which is finite element method-relying software that enables the thermomechanical simulation of rolling processes in a triaxial strain state. The wear model implemented in the Forge2008® permits no quantitative evaluation, but only comparative analysis of the wear of rolls. In order to use the results of simulation employing the simplified Archard model for the quantitative evaluation of roll wear, it is necessary to define the wear factor and hardness of the tool as a function of temperature. The paper present a methodology for the determination of the quantitative wear of rolls based on the results of computer simulations performed using the Forge2008® software for a selected round pass during rolling of round bars.

Numerical modelling of the round bar rolling process, while considering the wear of passes depending on their shape, was carried out within the present work. The analysis of the rolling process was conducted thus analysing the influence of interstand tension on roll wear. For the theoretical study of the rolling process, Forge2011® was employed, which is finite element method-relying software that enables the thermo-mechanical simulation of rolling processes in a triaxial state of strain. The wear model implemented in Forge2011® permits no quantitative evaluation, but only a comparative analysis of the wear of rolls. In order to use the results of simulation employing the simplified Archard model for the quantitative evaluation of roll wear, it is necessary to define the factor of wear and the hardness of the tool as a function of temperature.

Abstract An analysis of the roll wear in the multi-strand rolling of reinforced concrete ribbed bars has been made in the study. In the technology under consideration, the longitudinal partition of the band takes place in special slitting passes, while the separation of individual strands – in idle separating rollers. During rolling, the slitting passes undergo fast wear compared to the remaining passes of the rolling line. The paper reports the results of theoretical and experimental examinations, on the basis of which the wear of the slitting passes in the 16 mm-diameter ribbed bar three-strand rolling process has been determined. The theoretical examination was done using the Forge2011® software program, while experimental tests were carried out in a D350 medium-size continuous rolling mill. Based on the analysis of the investigation results, the wear coefficient was established for the slitting passes, which allowed the determination of their quantitative wear.

Abstract The paper presents a modification of the slitting pass system, which ensured a reduction in roll wear during three-strand rolling of ribbed bars with a diameter of 16 mm, and thus reduced the associated costs. The theoretical and experimental research on the rolling process of ribbed bars with a diameter of 16 mm rolled in three-strand technology was carried out on a D350 18-stand continuous bar rolling mill conditions. To determine the cost of slitting pass wear, the results of numerical calculations of the frictional force unit of work obtained using the Forge2011® computer program was used, as well as empirical calculations.

The paper presents the results of the numerical modelling and industrial research of the cooling ability of the device for the round plain bars accelerated cooling process. Research were carried out for one of the bar rolling mill technological conditions in a few variants. The paper purpose was determination of the cooling ability of device for accelerated cooling process to checking possibility of the using this device in the rolling line, during normalizing rolling process. Investigation results elaborated in the paper made the basis for determination of the heat exchange coefficients between cooled band and water. In the next stage of this paper numerical modeling of the normalizing rolling process with accelerated cooling of band in the final stage of the rolling process was carried out. In this investigation heat exchange coefficients between band and cooling medium (water), which were determinated with allowance of cooling possibilities of investigated device for band accelerated cooling were used. From the obtained results it was found that in the analysed bar rolling mill it is possible to decrease the band average temperature to about 900 °C, which is required during the normalizing rolling process.

Computational simulation has become more important in the design of thermomechanical processing since it allows the optimization of associated parameters such as temperature, stresses, strains and phase transformations. This work presents the results of the three-dimensional Finite Element Method (FEM) simulation of the hot rolling process of a medium Mn steel using DEFORM-3D software. Temperature and effective strain distribution in the surface and center of the sheet were analyzed for different rolling passes; also the change in damage factor was evaluated. According to the hot rolling simulation results, experimental hot rolling parameters were established in order to obtain the desired microstructure avoiding the presence of ferrite precipitation during the process. The microstructural characterization of the hot rolled steel was carried out using optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). It was found that the phases present in the steel after hot rolling are austenite and α′-martensite. Additionally, to understand the mechanical behavior, tensile tests were performed and concluded that this new steel can be catalogued in the third automotive generation.

This paper presents selected numerical and experimental results of a skew rolling process for producing balls using helical tools. The study investigates the effect of the billet’s initial temperature on the quality of produced balls and the rolling process itself. In addition, the effect of billet diameter on the quality of produced balls is investigated. Experimental tests were performed using a helical rolling mill available at the Lublin University of Technology. The experiments consisted of rolling 40 mm diameter balls with the use of two helical tools. To determine optimal rolling parameters ensuring the highest quality of produced balls, numerical modelling was performed using the finite element method in the Forge software. The numerical analysis involved the determination of metal flow kinematics, temperature and damage criterion distributions, as well as the measurement of variations in the force parameters. The results demonstrate that the highest quality balls are produced from billet preheated to approximately 1000 °C.

Roll wear model for Hot Strip Mill (HSM) was researched and the factors affect roll wear are analyzed. The simulation program was compiled by program visual C++ language and work roll wear was calculated according to the rolling schedule. Calculation results shows that roll wear like box shape. Strip width affects roll wear clearly. The strip length is one of the important issues which affect roll wear. Work roll wear of F7 top roll middle get to 280μm after a rolling schedule. Roll wear curve calculated by program were good agreement with the wear curve got by high-precision grinder. The results show that the roll wear model has high accuracy.
