Prediction of Temperature Distribution during the Hot Rolling of Strip by FEM (I)

The warm rolling of aluminum plate was studied with the aid of elastic-plastic and thermal-mechanical coupled FEM, particular attention was paid to predict the temperature distribution through the backness of rolled plate.The influences of contact heat transfer, coefficient heat material data (thermal conductivity, heat capability, density) on calculated result were analyzed. Comparison of the calculated results with those from experiment show good agreement.
