摘要

In a round-oval-round pass rolling sequence, the cross-section profile of an outgoing workpiece was predicted first after getting the maximum spread. The concept "critical point on the contact boundary" was proposed and the coordinates of the critical point were solved. The equivalent contact section area was represented and the mean roll radius was determined. The validity of this model was examined by alloy bar rolling experiment and rigid-plastic FEM simulation. Compared with the existing models, the mean roll radius obtained by this model is similar to experiment data.
