Abstract:

Four steels with different chemical compositions were analysed during the cold rolling process on the basis of experimental and numerical investigation. Experiments provided input data for development and validation of conventional numerical model of cold rolling. The conventional model due to short computational times is oriented on industrial applications. Experimental investigation revealed influence of microstructure morphology containing different amount of phase components on deformation inhomogeneities. Model validation performed for all investigates steels was based on comparison of loads measured and calculated using finite element software. Comparison proved good predictive capabilities of the numerical solution.
