Abstract: Hill’s theory of plastic anisotropy is used to investigate the effect of the parameters of anisotropy on the speeds at which long, hollow cylinders rotating about their longitudinal axes reach ...

Abstract: Detailed knowledge of material properties is one of the most important aspects of predictive-adaptive computer models used to control hot strip mills. The paper critically reviews the techniques, ...

Abstract: The accuracy and precision of four mathematial models of varying complexity are evaluated by comparing their predictions to experimental data generated in carefully controlled laboratory experiments ...

Abstract: Roll separating force and roll torque are studied in cold rolling of steel and aluminum strips. In the analysis roll deformation is accounted for by a numerical technique; in the experimental ...

Abstract: Ring compression tests were conducted at constant true strain rates in the temperature range of 900–975°C. The constant friction shear factor, m, was determined using a calibration chart. ...

Abstract: The temperature rise due to plastic work and interfacial frictional forces during cold rolling of aluminum and steel strips is investigated. The predictions of a two-dimensional thermal-mechanical ...
