The optimal conditions for production of bimetallic plate St36K + 0H13J in asymmetrical hot rolling

As an elaboration of the new technologies for rolling of bimetallic plates there are many problems, both with ensuring a uniform strain distribution and producing a straight band as well. This research was carried out for three varied bimetallic layer thickness HT/HM = 6/22, 10/18 and 9/9. The analysis of bimetallic plate production is a complex and difficult problem to solve in a theoretical way. In the paper was presented a problem of hot rolling St36K + 0H13J plates (according to Polish Standards). Computer analyses for asymmetrical rolling process have been performed in this work to optimize the conditions for production of bimetallic plates. A Finite Element Method—Forge2 program has been applied in the computer simulation.
