Deformation behaviors of non-oriented silicon steel plate in hot rolling process

Abstract

In this paper, the flow stress behaviors of non-oriented silicon steel are investigated by hot compressive experiments and a constitutive model is built based on the experimental data. The constitutive model provides material model for FE numerical investigation. The deformation behaviors of the non-oriented silicon steel during hot rolling process are investigated by a 3D FE model. Contact stress and plate shape in different working conditions are presented. The FE results can provide primary data for the precise shaping of non-oriented silicon steels in hot rolling process.
