Modeling and Simulation of Steel Rolling with Microstructure Evolution: An Overview

In the numerical simulation research on quenching, the heat transfer coefficient is an important input parameter. However, owing to its complexity and various influencing factors, the measured results are not universal and will significantly increase the simulation complexity and error. This article proposes a new numerical simulation method for quenching processes by extending the simulation domain and introducing the coupled heat exchange between the liquid quenching medium and workpiece, replacing the role of the heat transfer coefficient in the numerical simulation. The method is validated through experimental studies on 1045 steel rod quenched in water, with the maximum relative errors of the simulation results compared to the experimental results being 3.6%, 9%, and 5.1% for hardness, cooling curve, and residual stress, respectively. Furthermore, the article investigates the effect of different flow parameters of quenching media on the quenching effect. Under the studied conditions, the 1045 steel rod has the lowest risk of cracking and the highest hardness value when quenched in water at 50°C. The proposed method improves the universality and convenience of numerical simulation for the quenching process. and can be used to guide the formulation of quenching process parameters when the heat transfer coefficient is unknown.This article is protected by copyright.

“…Furthermore, numerical simulation has also been applied for characterizing the behaviors of materials at the microscale, which is based on crystal plasticity (CP) modelling [ 25 , 26 , 27 ]. CP has been used to predict microstructure evolution during material deformation [ 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ] as depicted in Figure 5 . Besides, the conventional numerical approach based on plasticity theory was coupled with damage models for predicting the flow behavior of metallic materials [ 32 ] and their forming limits [ 33 , 34 ] under complex forming conditions.…”

Lightweight sheet metals are attractive for aerospace and automotive applications due to their exceptional properties, such as low density and high strength. Sheet metal forming (SMF) is a key technology to manufacturing lightweight thin-walled complex-shaped components. With the development of SMF, numerical simulation and theoretical modelling are promoted to enhance the performance of new SMF technologies. Thus, it is extraordinarily valuable to present a comprehensive review of historical development in SMF followed by state-of-the-art advanced characterization and modelling approaches for lightweight metallic materials. First, the importance of lightweight materials and their relationship with SMF followed by the historical development of SMF are reviewed. Then, the progress of advanced finite element technologies for simulating metal forming with lightweight alloys is covered. The constitutive modelling of lightweight alloys with an explanation of state-of-the-art advanced characterization to identify the constitutive parameters are presented. Then, the formability of sheet metals with major influencing factors, the techniques for measuring surface strains in SMF and the experimental and modelling approaches for determining the formability limits are clarified. Finally, the review is concluded by affording discussion of the present and future trends which may be used in SMF for lightweight metallic materials.

Rolling is one of the most important processes in the metallurgical industry due to its versatility. Despite its inherent advantages, design and manufacturing by rolling still rely on trial-and-error-based optimizations, which reduces its efficiency. To minimize the cost and time spent on the development of new rolling schedules, various analytical and numerical methods have been used in recent years. Among other alternatives, simulations based on the finite element method (FEM) are the most widely used. This allows for the analysis of the feasibility of new rolling schedules considering metal alloys with different characteristics, process conditions, or the creation of new operations, as well as the optimization of existing ones. This paper presents a literature review including the latest developments in the field of numerical simulation of rolling processes, which have been classified according to the type of rolling into the following categories: flat rolling, shape rolling, ring rolling, cross-wedge rolling, skew rolling, and tube piercing.
