Hot Rolling Process

In this study, to fabricate neutron shielding material, boron carbide (B4C)-reinforced aluminum (Al) alloy composites were successfully fabricated by stir casting followed by a hot rolling process. Microstructural analysis of B4C/Al6061 composites with different volume fractions (5, 10, 20, 25, and 30%) revealed that the composites had volume ratios similar to the target volume ratios of B4C. Furthermore, B4C reinforcements were uniformly dispersed in the Al matrix, forming multi-interfacial layers of Al4C3/(Ti,Cr)B2. The interfacial layer generated during stir casting maintained its own structure after the hot rolling process, indicating strong interfacial bonding strength. The tensile strengths of the B4C/Al6061 composites increased to 20 vol.% and stayed above the value for Al6061, even reaching 30 vol.%. The measured thermal neutron shielding rate increased with increasing B4C content, and the highest thermal neutron shielding rate was observed at 30 vol.% composite, which corresponds to 95.6% neutron shielding at 0.158-cm thickness.

Computational simulation has become more important in the design of thermomechanical processing since it allows the optimization of associated parameters such as temperature, stresses, strains and phase transformations. This work presents the results of the three-dimensional Finite Element Method (FEM) simulation of the hot rolling process of a medium Mn steel using DEFORM-3D software. Temperature and effective strain distribution in the surface and center of the sheet were analyzed for different rolling passes; also the change in damage factor was evaluated. According to the hot rolling simulation results, experimental hot rolling parameters were established in order to obtain the desired microstructure avoiding the presence of ferrite precipitation during the process. The microstructural characterization of the hot rolled steel was carried out using optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). It was found that the phases present in the steel after hot rolling are austenite and α′-martensite. Additionally, to understand the mechanical behavior, tensile tests were performed and concluded that this new steel can be catalogued in the third automotive generation.

Pipe steel sheet is manufactured by hot rolling technological process. Technological regimes of every technological operation can vary in a wide range affecting pipe steel sheet properties. It is shown that system analysis provides the effective way for searching out the basics for mathematical modeling of multi-variant technological processes. The detailed scheme of steel sheet hot rolling process is presented, determining its input and output parameters. Flows of material, energy, and information are presented for each technological operation. Metallurgical concept of pipe steel manufacturing is shown as the basics for competitive product manufacturing. It is proposed to analyze the hot rolling process as a set of target functions, which will make it possible to achieve the pipe steel sheet with the desired level of mechanical properties. The proposed approach based on system analysis allows to find tendencies for further development of hot rolling.

Abstract The three-dimensional transient thermal problem of work rolls in the entire hot rolling process has been formulated. It includes the time-varying boundary conditions specified at the roll surface taking the schedule of both rolling and idling cycles into consideration. The corresponding finite element equations are derived and solved by the Runge-Kutta-Verner method. The finite element solutions indicate that the temperature variations in the circumferential direction are overwhelming. Case studies unveil the thermal characteristics of the work rolls in various kinds of mill operations. Numerical results are presented and compared with Guo’s analytical solutions.
