description The rare molybdenum resources are being increasingly used in heavy industries. In this study, the common unidirectional and cross hot rolling operations, for pure molybdenum plates, were numerically simulated by using MSC. Marc software. An elastic–plastic finite element model was employed, together with the updated Lagrange method, to predict stress and strain fields in the workpiece. The results showed that there was a typical three-dimensional additional compressive stress (<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>σ</mi><mi>y</mi></msub></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>> <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>σ</mi><mi>z</mi></msub></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> > <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>σ</mi><mi>x</mi></msub></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>) in the deformation zone, while strain could be divided into uniaxial compressive strain and biaxial tensile strain (<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>ε</mi><mi>y</mi></msub></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> > <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>ε</mi><mi>x</mi></msub></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> > <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>ε</mi><mi>z</mi></msub></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula>).

The evolution of the temperature field of pure molybdenum plate was investigated. The surface quenching depth of the pure molybdenum plate was about 1/6 H under different initial temperatures and reductions. In addition, the fundamental reason for the nonuniform distribution of stress and strain fields was the joint influence of rolling stress, contact friction, and external resistance. By comparing the theoretical simulation value of the model with the experimental verification data, we found that the model was aligning well with the actual engineering.
