A Parametric Study on Cold Roll Forming with Partial Thermal

Roll forming has a significant and a puzzling peculiarity [1]. The significant aspect is that roll forming has been one of the most useful manufacturing methods in modern industry. The puzzling aspect of the roll forming is that there are still many problems in the manufacturing process to be solved. This paper develops a model which with partial thermal and make comparison it with the usual cold roll forming [2]. A simulation program has been developed in order to examine the roll forming process. The program is based on the finite element analysis of shape and roll forming under dynamic, explicit condition.
