Abstract :
[en] This paper deals with an industrial application of a coupling procedure involving
two different computer programs : MetaLub and ThermRoll. The first one models the
mechanical phenomena occurring in the roll-bite during cold rolling such as elasto-plastic
strip strains, elastic-roll deformations, asperity flattening and lubricant flow. The second one
uses the previous results to compute the steady-state temperature field of the work-roll and the strip. These two codes are briefly described and a model of an industrial stand demonstrates the importance of the thermomechanical coupling in order to get a better understanding of the process.
