Several studies on asymmetric rolling processes use the Finite Element Method (FEM) to predict material deformation and optimize process parameters, such as rolls’ forces and torques. Early studies focused on the observation and measure of curvature effects due to the asymmetric conditions. However, these models could not predict mechanical behavior associated with the texture evolution during the rolling processes. More recent studies introduced crystal plasticity (CP) models into the FEM to analyze and quantify the texture evolution during plastic forming. However, these coupled techniques need more investigation, especially concerning the mechanical behavior of the material during and after multi-stage ASR procedures. The purpose of this work is to present an up-to-date literature review on the implementation of asymmetric rolling processes in finite element analysis. It shows a summarized overview of the asymmetric rolling model parameters from different authors and gives a brief description of the crystallographic models used in their studies. In the end, some suggestions for future work dedicated to the analysis of ASR through FEM are given.
