Geometry of steel sheet in a seven-roller straightening machine

详细

A method of determining the parameters of preliminary cold straightening of steel sheet on a seven-roller machine is proposed. The calculations permit the determination of the shape and curvature of the sheet’s central plane during and after straightening, as a function of the radius and spacing of the rollers, the reduction of the sheet by the upper rollers, the sheet thickness, and also the Young’s modulus, yield point, and hardening modulus of the steel. The results may be used at steel plants in the production of broad sheet and thick-walled pipe for pipelines.
