Abstract
A mathematical model for cold rolling of two-layer strip is proposed using the upper bound theorem to investigate the plastic deformation behavior of the strip at the roll gap. The effects of total thickness reduction on the rolling power, rolling force, thickness reductions of each layer, and bonding strength of bimetal strip are discussed. Furthermore, experiments on two-layer strip rolling are conducted by employing aluminum-tin alloy and mild steel as the layers of the two-layer strips. It is found that all of theoretical predictions are in good agreement with the experimental measurements. Through the study, it becomes clear that the proposed analytical model is applicable for simulating the cold rolling process of the two-layer strip and is able to offer a useful knowledge in manufacturing the bimetal sheets and strips.
