Hot Rolling

3

Basic Rolling Process • Heated metal is passes between two rolls • The rolls: – Rotate in opposite directions – Rotate with a surface velocity higher than the speed of the incoming metal

• Friction along the contact surface propels the metal forward 4

Calculating Roll Force

𝒉 = (𝒉𝟎 +𝒉𝒇 )/𝟐 𝝈𝟎 = 𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒆 𝒇𝒍𝒐𝒘 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝝁 = 𝒄𝒐𝒆𝒇𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏

bt and ft = back tension and front tension, respectively

Rolling Defects Defects

Cause

• Wavy Edges or Center Buckle (shape issues)

 Roll Deflections

• Edge Cracks

 Barreling

• Zipper Cracks

 Low Ductility

12

Yeah, it does happen…

13

Shape Correction • Roll bending and roll shifting

14

Roll Defects • Typically marks that repeat at a distance equal to the working roll circumference
