R. Colas et Jh. Beynon, COMPUTER MODELING AS A TOOL FOR VISUALIZING MICROSTRUCTURE EVOLUTION DURING THE ROLLING PROCESS, Journal of materials processing technology, 45(1-4), 1994, pp. 485-490
Mathematical modelling and computer simulation are widely used to deep
en understanding of metal rolling processes; much effort has been plac
ed in the integration of thermal, mechanical and metallurgical phenome
na in modelling. Whilst thermal and mechanical aspects are reasonably
widely understood, the metallurgical phenomena leave many people baffl
ed and appear to require considerable study to develop an insight. Thi
s work attempts to address this problem by displaying the metallurgica
l prediction of a rolling process model as microstructural changes in
the cross-section of the stock being rolled. It is hoped that by devel
oping an engaging presentation of information, non-metallurgists will
be encouraged to take a greater interest in the microstructural aspect
s of metal rolling.
