Abstract :
[en] A 2-roll bar straightener is a finishing process applied after the rolling operation of round steel bars. During the straightening, the bar rotation is induced by the two rotating rolls. It also undergoes an alternate bending in such a way that the bar section is finally deformed uniformly. The purpose of this process is to correct the curvature defaults of the rolled bar. Indeed, the bar must be straight before being sent to the client and a straightened uniform surface layer is appreciated. With the apparition of new grades and also new diameters of steel round bars, it becomes essential to better understand the straightening process in order to (i) have a better knowledge of what the round bar undergoes during the process, (ii) precisely understand the straightening process, the effect of each component and the process parameters.
