Abstract

Among rolling processes methods, metal’s rolling in industry is an important position due to exposed precise control product’s dimensions and quality. So in this article, it is tried to investigate process computation and in continue, with applying ABAQUS software analysis this effective parameters and regarded output and study its results.

existing limitations with designing multi-input and multi-output functions. Their results show that rolled output sheet thickness is appropriate between 0.5 to %8 than other researches and caused stability in rolling process [10]. Presented picture in figure 1 shows the schematic of cold rolling process (Figure 1).

Cold rolling process analysis in ABAQUS

The method of solving cold rolling analysis problem in ABAQUS

Modeling and stimulation of rolling process by limited element soft ware’s like ABAQUS is an appropriate and most effective solution. In sheet’s rolling process, sheet with initial thickness of 1.7mm passed between two rollers and it’s thickness reduce to 32% mm. sheet’s length (the length of sheet) regarded 1 m. First Geometric model outlined in trap module. Roller is modeled as a rigid matter (material) with the radius of 261 mm and enters in analysis. RP point in figure 2 is indicative of circle’s center (the center of circle) (Figure 2). In continue, regarded (desired) mechanical features are entered in y treporp environment and osldi types of a cross section are defined. With regards to roller’s rigidity, we don’t need to define matter and cross section for them. Also density ratio (amount) considered equal to 7850 kg/m3, Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio considered equal to 200 g/p and 0.3, respectively. Table 1 shows related information to regarded metal sheet (Table 1,2). With entering to y/b mess A, sheet and roller assembled to each other, entered to pets’ module, we entered needed time period for analysis. In rolling process, we have need to define contact behavior among sheet and roller, so entered to noicaretnl module and considered friction coefficient equals to .0.05. In Idao module, first we bound roller. Form reference point in the event of 1 and 2 according to figure 3. We give to the bottom roller a rotational speed of 1and 10 R/t to the higher roller (Figures 3&4). Now create limited (finite) element on sheet in hse M module (Figure 5). Finally in boj module with time bus of defined boj, it begins to solve the process (Figure 6). Then with going to zilausivnoita module, computed output include figures, video are observable (Figures 7&8).

We define analysis kind (type) and appropriate solving problem selection in pet’s module. Then to determine needed outputs for instance incoming pressure by roller on sheet and/or created torque during rolling process, determine changes according to colorful contour or figures based on time (Figures 9-12).

ConclusionThe purpose of cold rolling process is to reduce sheet’s

thickness under great pressure as a result; we can point to interested matter’s hardness increasing, in appropriate increasing in crystal structure and increasing yield stress. In doing ABAQUS analysis operation, it is observed that the red and orange area of sheet under rolling rollers are the most tension and also the most incoming force from roller on sheet and in parts that we can see the blue and green sheet, incoming tension is lower, also incoming force amounts (rates) from roller on sheet has reverse relation with sheet’s thickness rate, in fact, the lower thickness, the more force effect on sheet.
