Abstract
The temper rolling is applied to eliminate the stretcher strain, to control mechanical properties, to control the surface roughness and to improve the flatness of material rolled. The temper rolling analysis by classical rolling theory is difficult since un-uniform deformation in the thickness direction occurs due to elastic and plastic deformations. In this paper, effects of friction between roll and material rolled on stress and strain distribution have been analyzed by elastic-plastic finite element method comparing with those by the slab method based on the Karman's equation. Furthermore, rolling force obtained by laboratory scale experiment is compared with rolling forces computed by the elastic-plastic finite element method and by the slab method.
