ժҪ The minimum rolling thickness in asymmetrical rolling was analyzed compared with that in symmetrical rolling. The differential equilibrium equations on forces were established to calculate the asymmetrical rolling force equation by slab method. An implicit expression of the minimum rolling thickness was then derived from the rolling force equation and Hitchcock equation. The results show that permissible minimum rolling thickness of asymmetrical rolling only exists within a specific range of cross-shear ratio, which is termed the cross-shear zone proportion of the whole deformation zone. Numerical computation was carried out to obtain a discrete solution of the minimum rolling thickness. Experiments were designed to investigate the influence factors on cross-shear ratio.
