Abstract:In this article, three-dimensional (3-D) transient temperature distributions of taper rolls in a continuous annealing line (CAL) are investigated using finite-element analysis. Since the temperature of the strip is closely related to the surface temperature of the rolls due to the effect of contact heat transfer between them, it is crucial to determine the accurate surface temperature distributions of rolls in CAL. It is found that the temperature history of a roll remains identical and exhibits a radial-depe… Show more
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.
