2. Two-dimensional models and mill design
Using the slice method here, we restrict ourselves to operations where its use is lawful, i.e. cold rolling and, without great risk, hot train finishing. We conduct a quick parametric study, the reference conditions of which are presented in the box.
Thickness, reduction: h 1 = 1 mm, h 2 = 0.7 mm (30% reduction)
Cylinders assumed rigid: R = 300 mm
Band voltages: t 1 = t 2 = 0

Software tools
Rolling mill modeling can be addressed by most of the major structural calculation codes on the market. In addition, the main metallurgical companies concerned have developed dedicated software, such as MT, UBM or FEM, which may or may not be stationary, but which are of course not available on a self-service basis.
Events
The International Rolling Conferences (IRC), which take place every 3 years, are the main meeting place for those interested in rolling, but rolling modeling is regularly covered at all conferences dealing with metal fabrication processes: NUMIFORM, ESAFORM Metal Forming, AMPT...
Laboratoires
Most research into rolling and its modeling is carried out in the laboratories of metallurgical companies. In France, the main public laboratories working on rolling models and the problems they are used to study are few and far between. Without wishing to be exhaustive, we would like to mention the following (in alphabetical order):
CEMEF – Centre de Mise en Forme des Matériaux, MINES ParisTech....
