(State Key Laboratory of Rolling and Automation. Northeastern University. Shenyang 110004. Liaoning. China) Abstract: A new linear integral method for bar hot rolling on roughing train was obtained. First. for plastic deformation energy rate. equivalent strain rate about Kobayashi's three-dimensional velocity field was expressed by two-dimensional strain rate vector; then. the two-dimensional strain rate vector was inverted into inner product and was integrated term by term. During those processes. boundary equation and mean value theorem were introduced; for friction and shear energy dissipation rate. definite integral was applied to the solution process. Sequentially. the total upper bound power was minimized. and the analytical expressions of rolling torque. separating force. and stress state factor were obtained. The calculated results by these expressions were compared with those of experimental values. The results show that the new linear integral method is available for bar rough rolling analysis and the calculated results by this method are a little higher than those of experimental ones. However. the maximum error between them is less than 10 %. Key words: bar rough rolling; linear integration; strain rate vector; roll separating force
Hot rolling. using shaped or grooved rolls. is one of the methods of producing bars and rods. Introduced from America. Morgan high-speed no-twist wire and rod mill is made up of 25 stands. Rough rolling unit refers to the first five stands of wire and rod continuous mill. In shape rolling. the deformation behavior of the billet is more complex than that of hot slabs and plates.•• Simplified one-dimensional models. derived for the calculation of rolling force and torque and mostly based on empirical modifications of the flat rolling theories. have been reported[I-3]. Since the quadratic equations of interface and free-edge surface (unconfined surface) of the deformation zone are complex. st udies on analytical solution of total energy rate for three-dimensional rolling are very difficulr-'". Although a comprehensive analysis was given by Kobayashi in 1975[f,] and afterward several finite element methods were rapidly developed[6-11]. there is still no analytical solution without simplifying above equations for the rolling. Therefore. a new linear integral method is applied to Kobayashi I s velocity fields. to obtain analytical solutions of total energy rate. roll separating force and
torque from Stand 1 to Stand 5 of the roughing train. and the calculated results by the expressions of analytical solutions are compared with those of experimental ones[12].

Velocity Field
The billet with dimensions of 115 mm X 115 mm is rolled through a pair of cylindrical rolls with radius of r(,. which enables the thickness of the billet to be reduced from Zh; to Zh, and the width increased from Zb; ( = 2h o ) to Zb«, The shapes and sizes of No.1 to No.3 square-oval-round grooves are shown in Fig. 1. The projected length of the contact arc between the roller and the billet is given by l , AS shown in Fig. 2 (a). Coordinate axes are taken with the origin at the midpoint of the entry cross-section of deformation zone. b, and h., Ch,') are half of spread and thickness when horizontal distance from the origin is .T. Owing to the symmetry of deformation zone. only a quarter is considered. as shown in Fig. 2 (b). For the three-dimensional rolling. Hill and Kobayashi gave the following velocity field r",13-'1J :

owing to the uneven of reductions in passes. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the reduction of the second pass to balance the loading of each stand. I) Comparison between the calculated values and the measured ones According to Table 2. the comparisons of the calculated roll separating force and rolling torque with the measured ones[12] are shown in Fig. 4. Fig. 4 (a) indicates that the calculated rolling forces are slightly higher than the measured, for this is an upper bound method. But the errors are less than 10%. And Fig. 4 (b) shows that the calculated rolling torques approach to the measured values. Thus, it can be concluded that this new linear integration is available for bar rough rolling analysis. 2) Neutral angle and stress effective factor versus 1/ h for various values of m As shown in Fig. 5, neutral angle increases with the increase in friction when l/h=O. 8; when the

Conclusions
1) A new linear integral method is proposed for bar rolling analysis. The calculation during rough rolling shows that the calculated roll separating forces are a little higher than the measured ones, and the rolling torque values approach the measured ones. but the maximum error is less than 10%. 2) The reduction of the first five stands is nonuniform, which results in the uneven rolling force and torque among these stands. Therefore. it is necessary to increase the reduction of the second pass and to balance the loading of each stand. 3) The solution above is available for bar rolling in the roughing train, and after stand 6. the error percentage will be significant.
