As significant theory evidence in thick plate or heavy gauge plate hot rolling, the deformation behavior at the thickness direction was investigated. In the present work, multi and single pass rolling processes were studied by 2D explicit dynamic finite element method (FEM) simulation and verified by laboratory hot rolling experiment. The value of stress and strain could be obtained in any passes and time in the hot rolling process accurately. The verified FEM model could be used as an important reference factor for other hot rolling processes. Strain and stress distribution data was obtained from four portions at the thickness direction. A cooper rod was knocked into the hot rolling specimen, as a reference substance to observe the deformation after the hot rolling experiment. In the multi-pass simulation with nearly 10% per-pass reduction, the core metal yield when the total reduction was 40%. The same performance could be achieved when the first pass reduction larger than 20%. However, extremely first pass reduction would cause an instability deformation result in a confusion of microstructure. Finally, the relation between the reduction and the number of rolling passes was discussed.

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.

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.

Under the current conditions, the consumption of special purpose alloys or steels is growing. This is due to the development of the import substitution program. It should be noted, that such materials possess specific deformation behavior, which requires providing particular conditions of a hot rolling process. One of the characteristics of the deformation behavior is the narrow thermal plastic range. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a hot rolling in several stages, which include interchange of heating and rolling processes. For the purpose to resolve the issue, the experience of the multilayer hot rolling of plates has been investigated where all advantages of this way of a hot rolling process were used. Based on the method of the multilayer hot rolling, the pack rolling has been developed which gives the possibility of production of hot-rolled plates from special purpose alloys or steels.

Rolling Process

A mathematical model integrating analytical method with numerical method was established to simulate the multi-pass plate hot rolling process, predicting its strain, strain rate, stress and temperature. Firstly, a temperature analytical model was derived through series function solution, the coefficients in which for successive processes were smoothly transformed from the former process to the latter. Therefore, the continuous computation of temperature for multi-operation and multi-pass was accomplished. Secondly, kinematically-admissible velocity function was developed in Eulerian coordinate system according to the principle of volume constancy and characteristics of metal flow during rolling with undetermined coefficients — which were eventually solved by Markov variational principle. Thirdly, strain rate was calculated through geometric equations and the difference-equations for solving strain and a subsequent recurrent solution were established. Fourthly, rolling force was calculated on the base of Orowan equilibrium equation, considering the contribution to flow stress of strain, strain rate and temperature, rather than taking the flow stress as a constant. Consequently, the thermo-mechanics and deformation variables are iteratively solved. This model was employed in the simulation of an industrial seven-pass plate hot rolling schedule. The comparisons of calculated results with the measured ones and the FEM simulation results indicate that this mathematical model is able to reasonably represent the evolutions of various variables during hot rolling so it can be used in the analysis of practical rolling. Above all, the greatest advantage of the presented is the high efficiency. It costs only 12 seconds to simulate a seven-pass schedule, more efficient than any other numerical methods.

In hot metal forming processes, the material is subjected to the thermo-mechanical processing. A fully three dimensional thermo-mechanically coupled FEM-simulation of an eleven pass hot rough rolling process of H-beam has been performed. Microstructure evolution equations available in literatures were incorporated into the commercial FE solver ABAQUS/Explicit, through user defined subroutine VUMAT, to simulate the microstructure evolution. Since it’s impractical to obtain the austenite grain size distribution in the beam blank during industrial hot rolling, the calculated rolling loads are compared with the mills loads instead of grain size comparison between the predicted average value and the real ones.

The governing equations and the finite element model for the coupled thermo-mechanical multi-pass vertical-horizontal rolling process of a zircaloy strip are established. Considering the temperature-dependent and strain rate-dependent constitutive relation of zircaloy, the numerical simulation of the three-pass V-H rolling process is realized by the coupled thermo-mechanical dynamic explicit finite element method. The computational results such as the plastic deformation, the size variations and the temperature variations in three passes are discussed. The research results indicate that edging by vertical roller benefits improving the sizes of the strip and the temperature variations are rather obvious during the three-pass hot rolling process. The research provides experience and foundations for the FEM simulation of the hot rolling process of composite slabs for nuclear fuel elements.

Ring Rolling Process

Based on the platform ABAQUS, a 3-D FEM model of spirogyrate ring rolling process has been developed to investigate the ring’s deformation behavior and the expansion law of the diameter. According to the FEM analysis, this kind of profile ring rolling process can be divided into two phases, i.e. the profile forming phase and the diameter increasing phase. During the former phase, the deformation of spirogyrate ring focuses on the profile formation and the diameter increases slowly. In the latter phase, the ring diameter expands rapidly. FEA illustrates that the material flowing to the outer diameter areas is greater than that towards the inner diameter areas in the profile forming phase. The maximum PEEQ is in the pit of the outer profile, whereas the minimum PEEQ locates near the end face. The variation of outer and inner diameter of the spirogyrate ring shows monotonic increasing trend during the whole ring rolling process, in which the expanding rate of inner areas is greater than that of the outer areas.
