Roll forming
A metal strip is incrementally bent by sets of rolls (called “forming stands”) until the desired cross section is obtained.
Symmetrical U-channel
Process parameters
- Experimental mill (ArcelorMittal R&D, Montataire, France).
- 6 stands (15°, 32°, 50°, 68°, 80°, 90°).
- Final bending radii: 6 mm
- Inter-stand distance : 0.5 m
- Sheet : 2000 x 200 x 1.6 mm
- Sheet velocity: v = 200 mm/s
- Coulomb friction m = 0.2
- DP980 steel (sY0 = 697.34 MPa).
Numerical parameters
- Symmetry.
- Friction drives the sheet.
- Two layers of EAS elements.
- Dynamic implicit scheme (Chung-Hulbert).
