Finite Element Analysis for Effect of Roll Radius on Metal Deformation of Hot Rolling Plate

The deformation of rolling piece in hot rolling by flat roll with different radii is analyzed with three-dimensional large deformation thermo-mechanical coupling finite element method. The distribution laws of stress, strain and strain energy density in deformation zone with rolls of different radii were studied. The result indicated that under the same condition, the larger the roll radius is, the more vigorous the deformation in deformation zone is.
