Parameters affecting lateral deformation in slabbing mills

An experimental investigation on the deformation behavior during wire flat rolling process

“…The difference between these relationships is due to the existence of stress in the longitudinal direction. Another spread relationship for strip rolling suggested by Sheppard and Wright, is as follows [12]:…”

“…An improper design can result in an undesirable lateral spread in wire leading to an unsatisfactory product. Although in the past some investigations have been carried out on the design of flat rolling of strips [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17], there are few research works concentrating on the flat rolling of wires and this merits a further investigation on the process.…”

A local approach to simulating bar forming in pass rolling

“…Now it is possible to define transformation rules. The first rule is the rule of "transverse stickiness" determined experimentally by Sheppard and Wrigt [6], which says that once a point on the strip reaches the groove surface, it starts moving together with the corresponding point of the surface.…”

Calculation of the rolling pressure distribution and force in wire flat rolling process

“…To design the process, it is important to estimate the magnitudes of involved parameters such as the rolling pressure distribution and rolling force. Although in the past, some investigations have been carried out on the calculation of rolling pressure and force in flat rolling of strip by the slab method, upper bound, slip line field, and finite element method [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11], there are few research works concentrating on the wire flat rolling and this merits a further investigation on the process. Several parameters such as rolling reduction, friction coefficient, mechanical properties of wire, etc.…”
