Abstract

This paper presents the results of numerical modelling of the rolling process of aluminum alloy bars in a three-high skew mill. The purpose of the examination was to determine the optimal rolling temperature for this alloy. The numerical examination for aluminum alloy 6005 (AlZn5.5MgCu) was performed using the Forge3^®-2D Plane strain state commercial software. The rheological properties of the examined alloy were determined from uniaxial compression tests done using the metallurgical process simulation system Gleeble 3800. The numerical analysis of the process of rolling 6005 alloy bars in a three-high skew mill was conducted within the temperature range of 150-350 °C and at a deformation of 0.29.

Keywords: aluminum alloy 6005; physical modelling; skew rolling; three-high mill.
