In this article, stress analysis and energy estimation during cold-roll forming of symmetrical channel sections have been discussed. Geometry of sheet strip is pre-estimated by a shape function. Then longitudinal, transversal and shear strains have been calculated. Using both the Levy-Mises and the Prandtl Reuss equations, and also considering the Bauschinger effect, stress distributions have b...

Background: Staphylococcus aureus has always been known as an important kind of bacteria causing food poisoning. This study was carried out to determine S. aureus contamination in cream pastries collected from popular confectioneries in Hamedan, Iran; also, presence of the gene encoding Staphylococcal Enterotoxin A (SEA) was studied in the isolates. Methods: During April to October 2014 (as ho...

Set-up generation is an important aspect in the operation of tandem cold mills. It defines speeds and powers for the drives, stand reductions, roll forces and interstand tensions for the tandem cold mill control system. Set-up optimization should lead to improved thickness regularity, surface finish and shape performance of the strip. The importance of such optimization first appeared in (1) an...

Aluminium and its alloys belong to the most widely used metallic materials for industrial applications. One of the possible casting methods is twin-roll casting which produces sheets with high solid solution supersaturation. Decomposition of this supersaturated material during heat treatment was studied in aluminium alloys from the AW-3003 series – one standard grade and the other modified by a...

The accumulative roll bonding (ARB) as a severe plastic deformation (SPD) procedure aimed at enhancing the mechanical properties of metals and alloys. In the present study, a new slab method is proposed for estimating the forming stress field for cold extrusion of metals cross the alumina interlayer powder particles by accumulative roll bonding process. Plastic deformation behavior of the metal...

Layered alloys and composite materials have become an increasingly popular in industrial development. The roll bonding (RB) process, as a solid phase method of bonding, has been widely used in manufacturing large layered strips. In this study, aluminum alloy (AA 5083) strips were roll bonded at warm and cold temperatures. The effects of the rolling parameters such as the amount of plastic deform...
