Purpose: The analysis of asymmetric band rolling in the finishing stand of a plate rolling mill has been carried out within the present study with the aim of establishing the effect of the speed asymmetry factor, av, on band bending during the rolling process and determining the strain velocity distributions of the rolled material in the roll bite region. Design/methodology/approach: The simulation of metal flow in the asymmetric roll bite region was performed using the program FORGE 2D. The development of numerous branches of the steelmaking industry imposes increasingly high demands on steel product manufacturers, which can only be met by products manufactured according to the state-of-the-art plastic working technologies. One of the major plastic working technologies is asymmetric rolling. Findings: The analysis shows that the band bends most often toward the lower-speed roll. Increasing the value of the speed asymmetry factor causes an increase in the advance, while the force parameters decrease with increasing asymmetry factor av. Practical implications: Asymmetric rolling is achieved by differentiating working roll diameters, roll rotational speeds, or roll surface roughness. In industrial practice, one or a combination of the above-mentioned parameters is used. Originality/value: In order to improve the asymmetric plate rolling process, the analysis of the following parameters must be carried out: band temperature, the magnitude of rolling reduction, the magnitude of yield stress for particular steel grades, roll rotational speeds and roll diameters.
