Theoretical study of contact pressure reduction during cold rolling of strips with transition to single-zone backward-slip process

Key Points

• Average relative stress decreases significantly during the transition to single-zone backward-slip process.
• Rolling rolls experience reduced wear and lower cracking probability, enhancing their longevity.
• Theoretical analysis provides insights into stress management during cold rolling operations.
• Implementation of single-zone methods may lead to improved efficiency and product quality in rolling mills.
