Abstract:
Numerical simulation has become an important tool in the rolling industry. The use of two dimensional rolling model is quite common in Aluminum industries. In the present work A two dimensional elasto-plastic Finite Element model for hot rolling of an Aluminum plate has been developed. This model is used to study the behavior of the material under different values of coefficient of friction, roller diameter and initial thickness of the plate for attaining a specified final thickness of the rolled plate. The effect of coefficient of friction, initial thickness of plate and roller radius on maximum stress, equivalent plastic strain and reaction force has been studied. The current work has been carried out using the Finite Element software ABAQUS 6.10 (Explicit).
