Abstract:

A brass material, C377, was rolled to reduce the thickness to form a plate. In this investigation, a simulation is carried out for the flat rolling process of brass material to find the influence of various process parameters on the hardness (Hv). Von Mises stress (MPa) has been analyzed. The parameters considered for this investigation are roller diameter (mm), temperature ( oC), percentage reduction (%) and speed (RPM). The effect of these input parameters has been critically analyzed using the Taguchi method. It has been found that roller diameter and temperature are the most crucial process parameters affecting the hardness value. It is analyzed for different parameters. Taguchi technique is used to find out the best parameter value for roller diameter, temperature, percentage reduction, and speed of the rollers to optimize the hardness and Von Mises stress. The rolling of brass produced a 175Hv hardness and a spread of 1.6mm at a 64 MPa Von Mises stress level when the process parameters were at optimum values.
