Based on the obtained investigation results, the effect of rolling speed on the band twist and the state of stress and strain occurring in the rolled band has been determined. From the obtained results of the numerical studies it has been found that with the increase in rolling speed the unit band twist angle θ, increase, which translates into an increase in the value of tangential stress in the axial zone of the rolled bar. This contributes directly to an increase in redundant strain in the rolled bar axial zone, which brings about a structure refinement. To verify the effect of rolling speed on the flow pattern and the stress and strain state, experimental tests were carried out. It has been found from the tests that the band twist (flow pattern) contributes to obtaining a bimodal structure in the bar cross-section.}, type={Article}, title={Analysis of the Effect of Rolling Speed on the Capability to Produce Bimodal-Structure AZ31 Alloy Bars in the Three-High Skew Rolling Mill}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/115065/PDF/AMM-2020-1-41-Stefanik.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2020.131734}, keywords={three-high skew rolling mill, radial-shear rolling, Magnesium alloys, bimodal-structure bars, FEM}, }
