Flatness defects in thin strip cold rolling are a consequence of buckling due to roll thermo-elastic deformation and the resulting heterogeneous strip plastic deformation. A coupled rolling - buckling model has been developed [Abdelkhalek et al. 2011]. It has shown that (i) taking buckling into account results in completely different stress fields and fits correctly the measured on-line residual stresses under tension ("stress-meter rolls"); (ii) coupling buckling in the post-bite area and the rolling model, whatever the technique, changes little the in-bite fields. The model is applied here to the effect of friction on optimal setting of a flatness actuator, Work Roll Bending.
