Rolling: Steel Strapping Purlin Forming Machine Roll Forming Machine

The document discusses the rolling process, which involves reducing the cross-sectional area or shaping of metal through deformation caused by rotating metal rolls. It describes how a metal bar is squeezed and elongated as it passes through rotating rolls, with its cross-sectional area decreasing. The amount of deformation achieved depends on factors like the thickness reduction and initial and final thicknesses. Rolling mills consist of rolls driven by a motor to apply pressure and shape the metal. Rolling can be done hot or cold, with different effects on the material properties.

Rolling
Dr. Dmitri Kopeliovich

Rolling is a process of reduction of the cross-sectional area or shaping a metal piece through the
deformation caused by a pair of rotating in opposite directions metal rolls.

A scheme of rolling process is shown in the picture:

The gap between the rotating rolls is less than the thickness of the entering bar H0 therefore a friction force
is necessary in order to bite the bar and to pull it through the rolls.

A metal bar passing through the rotating rolls is squeezed, and it elongates while its cross section area
decreases.

The amount of deformation “R” achieved in a flat rolling operation (thickness reduction) is determined by
the relationship:

R = 100% * (H – H0)/H0

A machine used for rolling metal is called rolling mill.

A typical rolling mill consists of a pair of rolls driven by an electric motor transmitting a torque through a
gear and pair of cardans. The rolls are equipped with bearings and mounted in a stand with a screw-down
mechanism.

A force applied to the rolls in vertical direction is called roll separating force.

A rolling mill is characterized by the maximum values of its roll separating force and the torque.

The maximum amount of deformation (thickness reduction) which may be achieved in a single rolling pass is
determined by the maximum roll separating force, maximum torque, work roll diameter, friction coefficient
and mechanical strength of the rolled material and its width.

Low roll diameter results in low roll contact area and consequently in low absolute value of the roll separating
force and the torque required for achieving a certain thickness reduction.

However such rolls are susceptible to bending and causing non-uniform widthwise strip thickness distribution
(convex crown).

Complex rolling mill designs employing back-up rolls are used to diminish the bending effect:

Hot rolling is a rolling operation carried out at a temperature exceeding the recrystallization temperature
and permitting large amount of deformation.

Cold rolling is a rolling operation carried out at room temperature. Cold rolling is commonly conducted after
hot rolling when good surface quality and low thickness tolerance are needed. Cold rolling causes material
strengthening and may be followed by annealing.
