Abstract
A model has been presented in a companion paper [1] to predict the generation of roughness on the matt surface in pack rolling of aluminium foil. The model is based on the finite element method using isotropic plasticity. This model is used in the current paper to investigate the effect of material properties on the generation of surface roughness. There is a large inhomogeneity of strain during deformation, with harder grains generally deforming less than softer ones. It is found that the roughness amplitude is roughly proportional to the standard deviation of the initial grain yield stress distribution, normalised by the initial mean yield stress, so that a wider distribution of the initial yield stress results in greater surface roughness. It is shown that a suitable linear hardening law can be used to approximate the roughening behaviour for real material flow stress curves.
