A thermo-mechanical finite element simulation of hot rolling for the prediction of roll forces

Includes bibliographical references. === The main objective of this project was to provide Cooumbus Stainless (Mpumalanga, RSA) with a numerical stimulation model that would be able to accurately predict roll forces in the roughing mill. The materials used in the model is AISI 304 stainless steel. I...
