Abstract
The final stage in the production of hot rolled steel is leveling on roller levellers under cyclic alternating deformation. When laser is cutting a sheet it may bend due to the release of residual stresses that are unevenly distributed over the volume. The majority of roller leveller models for calculating the process under cyclic alternating deformation does not provide an adequate assessment and prediction of residual stresses in a steel sheet. On the basis of finite element analysis, formation of residual stresses owing to roller levelling of hot rolled strip is disclosed. The implementation of a model of the levelling process was performed in SIMULIA Abaqus. Models are verificated by comparing forces under the rollers. We have experimentally confirmed the convergence of the simulation results with the measurements of the strip flatness obtained after sheets plasma cutting. It was found that after levelling, tensile longitudinal residual stresses remain on the upper surface of the sheet, compressive ones remain on the lower surface, stresses are zero in the middle in thickness, and the stress values are opposite in sign in the remaining parts of the section. It was established that the same parameters of the levelling process of different strength categories lead to different deviations of stresses. An increase in yield strength of the strip leads to an increase in the deviation of residual stresses along the strip thickness. The proposed method of simulation of roller levelling process should be used to study the stress-strain state of hot-rolled steel and to design improved strip levelling setting modes with minimal residual stress deviations.
