Thermomechanical simulation of roll forming process based on the coupling of two independent solvers
Résumé
This paper deals with an industrial application of a coupling procedure involving two different computer programs : MetaLub and ThermRoll. The first one models the mechanical phenomena occurring in the roll-bite during cold rolling such as elasto-plastic strip strains, elastic-roll deformations, asperity flattening and lubricant flow. The second one uses the previous results to compute the steady-state temperature field of the work-roll and the strip. These two codes are briefly described and a model of an industrial stand demonstrates the importance of the thermomechanical coupling in order to get a better understanding of the process.
