The use of twisting in finished product is not standard practice. The situation is quite different due to the fact that the product is thin (between 0.2 and 2 mm) and may be soft in case of deep drawing quality (DDQ) and extra deep drawing quality (EDDQ). A practical model has been developed, including the various aspects from stress distribution onward, the rolls, sensitivity to buckles and impact on the flatness. The key design parameters — including roll diameter, tower dimensions and twisting angles — are clearly identified. This model has been used to optimize the definition of the twisting tower on two industrial lines.
