Integrated FEM Casting and Rolling Simulation : Process Chaining Approach

9th International & 6th European Rolling Conference 2013 - June 10-12,2013 - Venice, Italy

The meaning of this study is to reduce, through FEM analysis, time to reach the final pass schedule and therefore shorter start up time and cost prediction of material behavior and mechanical properties along the mill with return of the key parameters in order to evaluate the rolling feasibility of products. In this article it will be introduced how to chain continuous casting process simulation to rolling simulation.
