Abstract
Steel sheets are an essential raw material for a wide range of applications, such as household appliances, packaging, construction, shipbuilding, industrial machinery, automotive, and energy industries. The worldwide market for steel sheets faces intense competition and increasing demand for light-weight metal components to reduce CO2 emissions. As a result, newly developed grades of advanced high-strength steel (AHSS) have gained attention, especially from the automotive industry. AHSS allows for down-gauging due to its higher strength compared to other conventional steel grades. However, due to the low thickness of the sheets, rolling of AHSS is a critical process that may suffer from instabilities, such as pinching.
Pinching represents a complex type of phenomena related to inhomogeneous stress distributions in the strip, which may arise from disruptions during the rolling process. Similarly to other shape defects, pinches can be related to uneven strip deformations in the roll bite, which result in inhom
