Background One or two decades ago, when computers resources were much lower, steady-state formulations have attracted considerable interest in the field of material forming simulation More precisely in the metal forming field, it was extensively applied for rolling processes. Early simulations were done for thick plates [1] and simple shape rolling [2]. They were extended to seamless tube rolli...

Cold rolling of steel is one of the most important metal forming processes so an accurate control of its parameters during the process is necessary. In this paper, the friction coefficient has been proposed as a function of cold rolling parameters such as forward slip, forward and backward tensile stresses ,strip thickness, static deformation, resistance of strip before and after rolling ,strip...

One of the most popular forming processes is the shape rolling process in which the desired shape change is achieved by pressing two rollers with a special shape in the opposite rotational direction. In order to improve the product’s quality and reduce production costs, accurate analysis of the shape rolling process of the compressor blades as well as the investigation of the effective paramete...

 One of the surface defects that arise in sheet metal working is when the part removes from the die. Since there are no external forces to make this defect, the origin of such fail is known as residual stress. Residual stress can develop in sheet metal forming due to non uniform deformation. In this paper, the workpiece is carbon steel with different volume fractions and arrangement of ferrite ...

Roll forming process is used for manufacturing sheet metal parts by successive bending and creating the final shape with gradual deformation. In this article, deformation of a pre-punched sheet due to the roll forming process was studied. Two main defects in the roll forming process are ovality of holes and bow defect. The ovality of the hole is influenced by the process parameters including sh...

Cold-rolled sheet metal that is often used in laser forming exhibits anisotropic properties, which are mostly caused by preferred orientations of grains developed during the severe plastic deformation such as cold rolling. In the present study, the textures of cold-rolled mild steel sheets are characterized and the influence of the plastic anisotropy on laser forming process is investigated. De...

The roll forming industry has many difficulties in product development and process set-up. The design and development of rolls and processes re mainly based on trial-and-error and past experiences. Recent industrial trends demand products having high quality and tight tolerances. This equires more precise and cost-effective roll-forming processes than the ones employed in the traditional produc...
