Comparison of thermomechanical stresses produced in work rolls during hot and cold rolling of Cartridge Brass 1101

Abstract

Thermomechanical stresses play an important role in defining the life of the work roll used in hot rolling process. In this research temperature dependent mechanical properties of cartridge brass are determined experimentally using high temperature compression tests at different temperatures and strain rates. Real life measurements are made from a brass rolling mill as input data for the simulation boundary conditions. Hot rolls are made of AISI H11 hot work tool steel. Temperature dependent mechanical properties of AISI H11 steel are used. Thermal and mechanical stresses produced in the work rolls during hot rolling process are predicted using a thermoplastic finite element approach in the ABAQUS Standard software. Hot rolling is compared with cold rolling to determine the effects produced on the work rolls. A criterion is introduced to compare the severity of stresses produced on the rolling surfaces in case of hot rolling and cold rolling based on the yield stress of the roller material for different temperatures. A method for separating thermal and mechanical stresses in the simulation is also described.

Investigation of fatigue crack growth rate in CARALL, ARALL and GLARE

“…FMLs show fatigue crack growth life 17 times longer than monolithic Al plates even at higher loads. 28 FCGRs of FMLs can be predicted by using analytical methods, 29,30 phenomenological methods 31,32 , finite element techniques 22,[33][34][35][36][37] and boundary element methods. Analytical models 28 used to describe the crack growth behaviour of FMLs are preferred by aircraft designers, but accurate development and validation of these analytical models require both experimental validation and finite element method verification.…”

Investigation of Electrical Properties & Mechanical Quality Factor of Piezoelectric Material (PZT-4A)

“…This kind of development is not aligned with modern industrial engineering practices, which is to assist development by computer simulation software for the theoretical prediction of properties expected to results from a given transducer design. Recently finite element analysis (FEA) has become vital tool for researchers for the analysis of mechanical components as well as piezoelectric sensors and actuators [16][17][18]. As we know, the properties of piezoelectric materials are very important to the design of MEMS sensors and actuators.…”

Numerical simulation of thermal fatigue behavior in a cracked disc of AISI H-11 tool steel

“…Most researchers deal with thermal fatigue as a special case of isothermal fatigue. Many researchers have worked on numerical simulation models [41][42][43] to create better understanding of thermo-mechanical stresses which are produced during the process and are responsible for failure of components.…”
