Simulation of Hot Rolling of 18Cr-10Ni Austenitic Stainless Steel Strips by Hot Torsion Tests.

The authors present the results of simulation, with the aid of hot torsion tests, of various schemes for hot rolling 18Cr-10Ni austenitic stainless steel strips. The results show that the industrial rolling process may be simulated with the aid of laboratory tests. Moreover, the simulation leads to an accurate estimation of the forces and moments of rolling as well as the micro- and macro-structural properties of rolled steel. The conclusion drawn by the authors is that simulation is an efficient means of optimizing the parameters of industrial rolling.
