Abstract

Small polyester billets are used to model the deformations that occur during the hot rolling of slabs of aluminum. The billets are rolled to a retained reduction of around 11 percent. They are then sliced along principal planes and the three-dimensional strains are plotted over a transverse cross section of the deformed billet. The extent of this nonuniformity in the strains is clearly shown.
