Abstract

In order to ensure sustainable development of rolling production, technological processes were investigated using computer simulation, which allows us to examine a large amount of information regarding modes of reduction and energy consumption of metal treatment under pressure in order to determine rational values. Simulation of hot rolling process using DEFORM-3D software was performed to investigate energy parameters of treatment and to determine rational reduction modes. During investigation, objects were located in space, exact positioning of casting rollers respectively to workpiece was performed, and rheological model of deformable material was specified, where rigid-plastic environment was adopted. Mechanical properties of workpiece material were determined, low carbon steel was selected as material, reduction between casting rollers was specified, and friction coefficient between workpiece and rollers, which is equal to 0.3; contact interaction between casting rollers and workpiece was specified, hot rolling temperature was set to 1000°C. Finite element model of treated material was developed, displacement in deformation zone during hot rolling and vector field of metal movement were determined. Changes in force during treatment, deformation stress during rolling were determined. Changes of rolling force in deformation zone in course of time were determined. Distribution of active stress in deformation zone was investigated. Investigations allowed us to determine energy consumption of rolling process depending on reduction modes, which provided rational treatment modes.

Highlights

In recent years, scientists of the Ferrous metals metallurgy and foundry Department of Kryvyi Rih National University have studied such important and relevant areas: the impact of the electric field on the steel and cast iron structure during the pouring of the alloy into the mold: the study of processes in the deformation zones during the longitudinal rolling of steel billets.Sustainable development of steelmaking production is impossible without detailed research and improvement of technological processes of rolling, which require high energy consumption
It is necessary to carry out research of metal treatment using DEFORM 3D computer software, which significantly speeds up treatment process improvement
Development of technological processes of metal treatment under pressure processes to ensure sustainable development of industry and society requires solving of large number of complex problems

Summary

Introduction

Sustainable development of steelmaking production is impossible without detailed research and improvement of technological processes of rolling, which require high energy consumption. Active development of informational technologies has made possible their widespread usage in development of metal treatment under pressure processes, which allows to solve problem of increasing of rolling production efficiency and ensure production of competitive products with required quality and with minimal energy consumption. Task to improve rolling technology using rational reduction modes, which provide required quality of products with minimum energy consumption is relevant. For this purpose, it is necessary to carry out research of metal treatment using DEFORM 3D computer software, which significantly speeds up treatment process improvement
