Numerical simulation of aluminum alloy hot rolling using DEFORM-3D

The flow stress behavior of 6016 aluminum alloy was studied by single-pass high temperature compression experiment on Gleeble-1500 thermal-mechanical simulator and the derivational constitutive equations was prepared for the computer simulation. Numerical model of 5182 aluminum alloy hot rolling was built using DEFORM-3D. By compared the measured value with the predictive value, we found the model error was blow 5% and it's good enough for the actual production needs. Based on the 5182 model, the 3D numerical model of 6016 aluminum alloy was built and can provide theoretical parameters in design of the actual production process.
