Abstract
An interactive graphic simulator of the cold rolling process has been developed. The rolling pressure model is based upon the Bland–Ford theory and includes the elastic deformations of strip and work rolls. The transverse elastic deformation of the four-high roll system is modelled by a polynomial parametrization of the results from a finite element analysis. Coolant control of the thermal expansion of the work rolls is also included. The main use of the simulator is for operator training, and it will also create a more uniform understanding of the cold rolling process among rolling mill production staff.
