This paper presents the results of computer modeling of preliminary heat treatment and radial-shear rolling of L63 brass in the Deform program by cellular automata method. Quenching and annealing were simulated as pre-heat treatment modes. Radial-shear rolling consisted of three passes with a compression of 3 mm per pass. The variable parameters were the roll rotation speed (40 rpm, 70 rpm and 100 rpm) and the workpiece heating temperature before rolling (500°C and 700°C). It was found that the most effective mode of preliminary heat treatment of L63 brass is annealing at a temperature of 500°C. The most rational value of the heating temperature of the workpiece before rolling is 500°C, since in this case, at all selected speeds the recrystallization process does not start, which contributes to intensive grain grinding. An increase of roll rotation speed causes additional deformation heating, which contributes to recrystallization and a decrease of grain grinding intensity.
