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.

The paper presents chosen aspects of the skew rolling process of hollow stepped products with the use of a skew rolling mill designed and manufactured at the Lublin University of Technology. This machine is characterized by the numerical control of spacing between the working rolls and the sequence of the gripper axial movement, which allows for the individual programming of the obtained shapes of parts such as stepped axles and shafts. The length of these zones and the values of possibly realizable cross-section reduction and obtained outlines are the subject of this research paper. The chosen results regarding the influence of the technological parameters used on the course of the process are shown in the present study. Numerical modelling using the finite element method in Simufact Forming, as well as the results of experimental tests performed in a skew rolling mill, were applied in the conducted research. The work takes into account the influence of cross-section reduction of the hollow parts and the feed rate per rotation on the metal flow mechanisms in the skew rolling process. The presented results concern the obtained dimensional deviations and changes in the wall thickness determining the proper choice of technological parameters for hollow parts formed by the skew rolling method. Knowledge about the cause of the occurrence of these limitations is very important for the development of this technology and the choice of the process parameters.

This paper presents the research results of the microstructure changes of the round rods of AZ31 magnesium alloy in the hot rolling processes. The rolling was conducted in duo mill and a three-high skew rolling mill. Numerical modelling of the AZ31 magnesium alloy round rods rolling process was conducted using a computer program Forge 2011®. The verification of the results of numerical modelling was carried out during laboratory tests in a two-high rolling mill D150 and a three-high skew rolling mill RSP 40/14. Distributions of the total effective strain and temperature during AZ31 rods rolling process were determined on the basis of the theoretical analysis. Microstructure and texture changes during both analysed processes were studied.

The paper presents investigation results related to the effect of application of round plain bar normalizing rolling on the selected mechanical properties of finished product. The research was carried out for the process of rolling 38 mm-diameter plain round bars made of constructional steel S355J2G3, based on actual specifications used in industrial conditions in a continuous bar rolling mill. In the course of investigation the yield stress, YS, and the tensile strength, TS, were determined. With the aim of evaluating the effect of controlled (normalizing) rolling on the mechanical properties of the considered steel grade, Zwick Z/100 testing machine was employed and analytical relationships were used. On the basis of performed research work it was established that enhancement of mechanical properties of the considered steel can be obtained as a result of application of the normalizing rolling process.

This paper presents theoretical analysis of microstructure changes in the material during standard rolling and normalizing rolling of the 35x20 mm flat bars. The analysis was carried out by means of computer software Forge 2007® that is based on finite element method. Two cases of accelerated cooling during rolling process were considered. Numerical results of 35x20 mm flat bars rolling process allowed to determine the average recrystallized austenite diameter as well as basis energy and force parameters. Proposed modification of the 35x20 mm flat bar rolling technology with accelerated cooling results in the reduction of average austenite diameter, which could improve the strength of the final product.

In this work result of the theoretical analyses, witch the main purpose was modelling of the microstructure change during round bars rolling was presented. To determination of the austenite diameter during numerical modelling of the rolling process it is necessary to assign mathematical models of the microstructure change, relationship making the value of yield stress dependent on deformation parameters, temperature and strain range. Theoretical analysis was made in computer program Forge2008®, based on the finite-element method. An analysis was made for two cases: traditional - without accelerated cooling during rolling process and normalizing with one section of the accelerated cooling during rolling process for the ø26 mm round bars. Modification of the ø26 mm round bars rolling technology with accelerated cooling, affect the reduction of average austenite diameter, which cause improving impact resistance of the final product. Results of the theoretical analysis were verified in industrial conditions, in one of polish steelwork.

During plate rolling in most cases a breakdown of symmetry conditions of the strip deformation relative to the upper and lower rolls takes place. The rolling process becomes an asymmetric one. This phenomenon causes an adverse bending of the strip towards the lower or upper roll. Subsequent finishing operations do not ensure the exclusion of the deformed (wavy) shape, since the strip has a high rigidity. With this production, large technological waste, associated with the undulation of the front end of the strip arises. In addition, the work rolls of the rolling mill and auxiliary equipment are subject to increased wear. The introduction of controlled asymmetry into the rolling process by differentiating speed of rotation of the work rolls can be one of the ways to prevent this phenomenon. Using of asymmetry allows to change the stress and strain state in the deformation zone. This method does not increase the load on the rolling stand and the gear of the rolling mill. The paper presents results of investigation of plate rolling parameters (billet feeding angle, degree of deformation, value of the asymmetry coefficient of rolls rotation speed) on the strip curvature. The work was carried out according to conditions of hot rolling of steel grade S355J2+N. For numerical simulation of the rolling process the coefficients of the Hensel–Spittel function were refined. The authors conducted a study of rolling of plates using two types of asymmetry, a geometric (as a result of feeding the workpiece at an angle) and a kinetic (by changing the speed of rotation of individual rolls). The analysis of the results was carried out using numerical simulation based on the modern Forge soft- ware package. According to the results of the work, an analysis of the influence of the parameters of plates hot rolling on the metal flow in the deformation zone is presented. The conditions for reducing the curvature of the end of the strip are determined. The expediency of introducing a controlled asymmetric rolling process by application of different speeds of rotation of the work rolls is shown.
