Technique for simulating high-cycle rolling to produce metallic materials reinforced by particles

Abstract

A technique is developed to simulate the high-cycle rolling used to produce particle-reinforced materials, such as an aluminum–copper composite material. The technique is based on the results of real rolling and on a mathematical model, which is based on the results of calculation with criterion conditions. The application of a criterion approach allowed us to predict the possibilities of formation of high-strength bonding of the components of the aluminum–copper composite material at retained integrity in the first rolling cycle and to determine the conditions that ensure breaks in the integrity of the reinforcing component in the next cycles in order to produce a particle-reinforced material.
