Rolling Assignment -1

1. Mention the material forming fundamentals.

2. Mention the rolling types
3. A 300-mm-wide strip 25-mm thick is fed through a rolling mill with two powered rolls each of radius
= 250 mm. The work thickness is to be reduced to 22 mm in one pass at a roll speed of 50 rev/min.
The work material has a flow curve defined by K = 275 MPa and n = 0.15, and the coefficient of friction
between the rolls and the work is assumed to be 0.12. Determine if the friction is sufficient to permit
the rolling operation to be accomplished. If so, calculate the roll force, torque, and horsepower.
Solution
1. The material forming fundamentals:
- Shaping without phase change.
- Thermal energy role in shaping.
- Material behaviors through the forming.
- Friction effects on the forming.
- Lubricants effects on the forming.
2. The rolling types are:
- Flat rolling.
- Shape rolling.
- Rolling mills
