Silicon steels tend to develop edge cracks during cold rolling, which need to be removed and cause rupture of the steel in the rolling mill. Hence, it is necessary to understand the formation of edge cracks. The damage distribution and the initiation and propagation of edge cracks occur around the notch tip during cold rolling process was investigated by using GTN damage model. The damage parameters f0, fcand fFare determined by tension experiments and SEM observation. The influence of various rolling parameters on damage distribution and crack length was simulated by using ABAQUS. The numerical results show that the GTN damage model is available to prediction the initiation and propagation of edge cracks during rolling process. Parametric study carried out in this present work reveals that the possible occurrence of edge cracks is higher at larger reduction, higher friction coefficient, smaller roll radius and stronger unit tension. The simulation and experimental results have a good agreement .

Edge cracking is commonly observed in cold rolling process. However, its failure mechanism is far from fully understanding due to the complex stresses and plastic flow conditions of steel strip under the rolling condition. In this paper, an extended Gurson–Tvergaard–Needleman (GTN) damage model coupled with Nahshon–Hutchinson shear damage mechanism was introduced to investigate the damage and fracture behavior of steel strip in cold rolling. The results show that extended GTN damage model is efficient in predicting the occurrence of edge crack in cold rolling, and the prediction is more accurate than that of the original GTN damage model. The edge cracking behavior under various cold rolling process parameters is investigated. It comes to the conclusion that edge crack extension increases with the increase of the reduction ratio, tension and the decrease of the roller radius and friction coefficient. The influence of shear damage becomes more significant in rolling condition with a larger reduction ratio, smaller roller radius, lower friction force, and tension.

Edge cracking is a commonly observed phenomenon in cold rolling process, but researchers appear to be far from fully understanding its failure mechanism due to the complex stress conditions of steel strip under the rolling condition. In this research, the shear modified GTN damage model coupled with Nahshon-Hutchinson shear damage mechanism was applied to investigate the damage and fracture behavior of steel strip in cold rolling. The results show that the shear modified GTN damage model is competent to predict the damage and fracture behavior of steel strip in cold rolling. By comparison to the cold rolling experiment, it presents that the prediction of edge crack occurrence of the shear modified GTN damage model is more accurate than that of the original GTN damage model.

To characterize the degradation of material at low triaxiality, the shear modified GTN damage model proposed by Nahshon and Hutchinson (2008) was introduced in this study. The details of the numericalimplementation and validation of the model was conducted. And the shear modified parameter was determined by the comparisons of experimental and simulation results of the shear test. Then, the damage model was employed to simulate the cold rolling process, and the results showed that the shear modified GTN model can reveal the damage behavior and predict edge crackingof ductile materials in cold rolling.

Twinning behaviors in grains during cold rolling have been systematically studied in preparing ultra-thin grain-oriented silicon steel (UTGO) using a commercial glassless grain-oriented silicon steel as raw material. It is found that the twinning system with the maximum Schmid factor and shear mechanical work would be activated. The area fraction of twins increased with the cold rolling reduction. The orientations of twins mainly appeared to be α-fiber (<110>//RD), most of which were {001}<110> orientation. Analysis via combining deformation orientation simulation and twinning orientation calculation suggested that {001}<110> oriented twinning occurred at 40–50% rolling reduction. The simulation also confirmed more {100} <011> oriented twins would be produced in the cold rolling process and their orientation also showed less deviation from ideal {001}<110> orientation when a raw material with a higher content of exact Goss oriented grains was used.
