Modeling and finite element analysis of rod and wire steel r(4)

(3) It is shown that the simulated results are in good agreement with the measured ones of surface tem-perature. The study demonstrates that the proposed models are an efficient tool for optimizing schedules as well as describing the thermomechanical parame-ters and behavior of materials during each stage of the rod and wire manufacturing process.
