Numerical simulation for cold rolling of thin strip during work roll edge contact
Abstract
In this paper, an influence function method is developed to analyse the cold rolling of thin strip when the work roll edges contact, which forms a new deformation feature in rolling. The effect of reduction on specific force such as rolling force, intermediate force, edge contact force, the length of edge contact and the shape and profile of thin strip in cold rolling when the work roll edges contact is discussed. The research shows that the friction, particularly the transverse friction has a significant influence on the shape and profile of the thin strip. Numerical simulation tests have verified the validity of this developed method.
