The effect of constitutive modelling of material behavior on the predictive abilities of two models of flat rolling is studied. Comparison of calculated roll forces and powers to those measured on a commerical steel mill indicates that the Orowan model is sufficiently accurate when supplied with carefully determined flow strength data. The manner of representation of that data is found to be significant. The results show that a multidimensional databank, which stores values of strength for specific strains, rates of strain and temperatures is very useful in modelling the process.
A Nb-V steel’s response to constant true strain rate compression was compared to its behavior when the strain rate varied as during a rolling pass. The constitutive behavior during the two types of tests was found not to differ in a significant manner.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
