“…Three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) simulations of the plate hot rolling process provide an effective method to determine the quantitative relationship between the plate shape and the rolling parameters. [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] Trull et al 27 simulated the plate hot rolling processes and investigated the influence of mill/rolls/stock on the plate plan view pattern and yield loss. Zhang et al [28][29][30] simulated the multipass plate hot rolling process and investigated the influence of roll bending force, initial crown, thermal crown and heat transfer on the plate profile.…”

On the basis of Shagang Group's 5000 mm heavy plate mills, conventional rolling processes with different broadside rolling ratios were simulated by the three-dimensional rigid plastic thermomechanical finite element (FE) model developed in the author's previous work. By analysing the simulation results, it was found that the final plate plan view patterns after hot rolling processes were bound closely to the broadside rolling ratio and the finishing rolling ratio. Then, predictive models for plate end edge shapes and side edge shapes were formulated by nonlinear regressive analysis of the simulation results and modified by the lengths of the uneven shapes for higher accuracy. The validity of the prediction models was confirmed by comparing the predicted concavity and convexity lengths with those measured from industrial tests. The predicted plate edge shapes were in good agreement with those of the FE simulation. On the basis of the plate plan view pattern prediction models, methods to improve the plate plan view pattern are discussed.

Using commercial finite element (FE) analysis software DEFORM-3D, a rigid plastic thermomechanical finite element model was developed to investigate inhomogeneous plastic deformations during heavy plate hot rolling. A single pass rolling process, a longitudinal rolling process and a broadside-longitudinal rolling process were simulated by this 3D FE model. The simulated results of the broadside-longitudinal rolling process were in good agreement with the actual rolled one. Basing on the simulation results, formation laws of concave side shapes and convex end shapes were clarified. Evolutions of the uneven shapes in the longitudinal rolling process and the broadside-longitudinal rolling process were analysed in detail. The results obtained from the simulation results provided guidelines for further investigation on plate plan view pattern control.
