Abstract

The aim of this study is to understand the effect of zinc dialkyl dithio phosphate (ZDDP) films on sticking defects during the hot rolling of ferritic stainless steel strips. The surface characterisation and crack propagation are very important for the sticking defects of ferritic stainless steel strip. A finite element method (FEM) model is constructed with different crack size ratios, in which the profile of the strip roughness and ZDDP films are taken into consideration. Simulation results show that the widths of cracks tend to be reduced with the introduction of ZDDP films, improving the sticking defects, which is confirmed by the hot rolling trials.
