Abstract

This study investigated tile local austenite grain size (AGS) distribution In rolling of SCM435 steel which is commonly used for high strength bolt. To investigate AGS distribution, round-oval (R-O) and square-diamond (S-D) rolling experiments were carried out with pilot mill. In round-oval rolling, local AGS has a tendency to increase when it goes to outward. In square-diamond rolling, local AGS has a tendency to increase when it goes to free surface. To investigate relation between AGS and process parameter, three dimensional FE analysis was carried out along with rolling experiment. To validate accuracy of FE analysis, we compared deformed geometry with FE result. The AGS prediction combined AGS model with numerical analysis was also carried out for center node of S-D rolling. Although this study brought experimental observation and its qualitative analysis into focus and quantitative AGS prediction will be done as a further work.
