Simulation of Flat Rolling and Analyzing of Rolling Pressure Profile

Rolling is an important process in metal forming because of high productivity and production tonnage of wrought metals. Hence, any interruption in rolling line or wastage has large costs. So, technological research or any change in rolling process is difficult along with a high risk of cost in industrial scale. Thus, rolling simulation by computer and using of software could make rolling research easy. Analysis of pressure profile on rolls and maximum rolling pressure in flat rolling process is very important in metal forming investigations. It is also significant in controlling of force, power, rolls, rolling process and so on. The author of this paper had a project in the field of computer simulation of flat rolling by making software. This paper is about to show the simulation of flat rolling process by using of that software and experimental industrial experience. Analysis of the rolling pressure profile and maximum rolling pressure is also shown for an Aluminum alloy in this software.
