Study of rolling in helical rolls by mathematical simulation with the DEFORM 3D software package

A mathematical model is developed and adapted for lengthwise rolling in special-profile helical rolls using the Deform 3D software package. The metal flow in rolling in helical rolls is studied. The state of stress in the deformation zone is analyzed, and the rolling force is calculated as a function of the technological rolling parameters and the geometrical characteristics of the helical rolls.
