This paper analyzes the cold roll forming of a complex section of stainless steel SUS301L-ST and proposes a floating roll device for complex sections. By using a 3D finite element model and conducting an orthogonal experiment, the optimal parameters for the complex section are derived. The results provide a theoretical basis for practical production.
Cold roll forming can fabricate products with complex profiles, and its parameter optimization can achieve high quality and improved precision of products. In this paper, taking the side shield as a typical product, the cold roll forming of a complex section of stainless steel SUS301L-ST is analyzed, establishing a 3D finite element model by using the professional roll forming software COPRA. We propose a floating roll device for complex sections with asymmetry and large depth. We use an orthogonal experiment to obtain the inter-distance between rolls, friction coefficients, the diameter increments, and line velocities to investigate the effects on the maximum longitudinal strain of the edge. Results show that the diameter increment has the greatest influence on the maximum strain, and its increases can reduce the strain. The inter-distance value needs a suitable range. A small value is not conducive to the release of elastic deformation, while a large value will cause unexpected displacement and increase the cost. The friction coefficient increases; although it helps to reduce the strain, it will cause scratches and other defects on the stainless steel. The increase in velocity increases the strain. We derive the optimal parameters for the complex section, providing a theoretical basis for practical production.
