A New Configuration for Cast Bearing Support from the Work Roll as Part of a Thick Sheet Rolling Mill

Abstract

In this work is made an optimization of configuration for casting bearing support of backup rolls, with Finite Element Method. This program is used for configuration of parts or subassemblies realized from cast iron. The deformation and displacement of bearing support are configured by using the “Finite Elements Method”. In this study is shown too, an approval on the behavior of bearing support material (hardness, resistance and elongation).
