Purpose: The analysis of asymmetric band rolling in the finishing stand of a plate rolling mill
has been carried out within the present study with the aim of establishing the effect of the
speed asymmetry factor, av, on band bending during the rolling process and determining the
strain velocity distributions of the rolled material in the roll bite region. Design/methodology/
approach: The simulation of metal flow in the asymmetric roll bite region was performed
using the program FORGE 2D. The development of numerous branches of the steelmaking …

On the basis of the carried out analysis can be state, that by using the appropriate relative
rolling reduction and working roll peripheral speed asymmetry factor for a given feedstock
thickness (strip shape ratio) it is possible to completely eliminate the unfavorable
phenomenon of strip bending on exit from the roll gap, or to obtain the permissible strip
curvature which does not obstructs the free feed of the strip to the next pass or transferring
the plate to the accelerated plate cooling stations. Additionally by introducing the asymmetric …
