Calculation method and analysis of residual stress in the strip bending roller straightening process

Abstract

AbstractTaking thin gauge strip as an example, the deformation process of metal strip in bending roll straightening was studied. Based on the theory of discrete, curvature integral and elastic–plastic mechanics, the strip travel trajectory of the bending roll straightening process is analyzed, and the numerical analytical calculation method of the continuous straightening process of the strip bending roll is established. The results are verified by establishing MARC finite element simulation and designing straightening experiment. The effects of yield strength, plastic rate and bending amount on residual stress after straightening were studied. In the straightening process, with the increase of the amount of bending roll, the residual strain converges to the region Γ, and with the increase of the yield strength, the region Γ decreases. With the increase of the yield strength, the amount of bending roll and the plastic rate, the wave height increases. The results of the calculation of residual stress, finite element simulation and experiment are close and the trend is consistent. The results show that the logic of the calculation method is reasonable, and the prediction error is within the scope of engineering application, which is helpful to the realization of process intelligence in the process of bending roller straightening.
