This paper presents a mixed lubrication model for cold rolling of metals. It conriders both hydrodynamic lubrication and asperity contact between the roll and the metal. The calculated results show the essential characteristics offriction and the pressure distribution in lhe roll bite, which indicate thal a constant coeficient of friction is a poor assumption. A weighting factor for the contribution of asperity contact is obtained, and the Hitchcock formula is found adequate for representing roll deformation in calculating the inlet lubricant j l m thickness.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
