Abstract

In order to investigate the continuous hot rolling behavior of SiCp/2009Al composites, a thermo-mechanical coupling finite element model was developed in this paper. The accuracy of the results can be confirmed by comparing the simulation results of rolled plate length with the experimental data. The effects of rolling process parameters on temperature, stress, and deformation of the rolled plate during rolling were investigated and verified with the existing literature. The results show that when the initial rolling temperature rises, the temperature difference between the surface and the center points of the rolled plate increases from 9.2 to 13.8 °C. As the friction coefficient increases, the residual stress at the center point gradually decreases, and the rolling force and its fluctuations increase. Additionally, an increase in the time interval during the rolling process leads to a decrease in the maximum temperature at the center. A notable increase in residual stress is observed from the middle to the center path, with a more uniform distribution. The maximum value of residual stress reaches approximately 45 MPa. The results of this paper provide a good theoretical reference for the practical production of SiCp/2009Al composites by continuous hot rolling.
