Temperature distribution in steel during hot rolling: pseudo-bond graph view

In hot rolling, a metal is given its final shape by plastically deforming the original stock. In this present work, the above mentioned deformation process is modelled, i.e., temperature, flow stress at each point in and around the deformation zone. A viable bond graph model has been developed to study the essential dynamics inside the material. Low-carbon steel has been considered and the modelling is described for single-pass hot rolling.
