The document describes a rolling operation to reduce the thickness of a steel plate from 42 mm to 34 mm, increasing its width by 4%. It provides information on the plate's entrance speed, roll radius, roll rotational speed, yield strength and tensile strength of the steel. The key calculations are: (a) determining the minimum coefficient of friction for a successful roll, (b) calculating the plate's exit velocity, and (c) determining the roll speed. The second document describes an indirect extrusion process that reduces a cylindrical billet from 50 mm diameter to 20 mm. It provides equations and values for extrusion ratio, true strain, extrusion strain and ram pressure. Key outputs are: (a) an extr

Rolling

A 42 mm thick plate made of low carbon steel is to be reduced to 34 mm in one pass in a rolling
operation. As the thickness is reduced, the plate widens by 4%. The yield strength of the steel plate is
174 MPa and the tensile strength is 290 MPa. The entrance speed of the plate is 15 m/min. The roll
radius is 325 mm and the rotational speed is 49 rev/min. Determine (a) the minimum required
coefficient of friction that would make this rolling operation possible, (b) exit velocity of the plate, and
(c) the roll speed.

Solution:

(a) Maximum draft dmax = µ R

Given that d = to - tf = 42 - 34 = 8.0 mm,

µ = 8/325 = 0.0246
0.5
µ = (0.0246) = 0.157

(b) Plate widens by 4%.

Extrusion
A cylindrical billet that is 100 mm long and 50 mm in diameter is reduced by indirect extrusion
to a 20 mm diameter. The die angle is 90°. The Johnson equation has a = 0.8, b = 1.4, and the
calculated ram pressure is 2578 MPa . Determine (a) extrusion ratio, (b) true strain,
(c) extrusion strain, and (e) ram force.

Solution:

(a) extrusion ratio


2 2 2 2
rx = Ao/Af = Do /Df = (50) /(20) = 6.25

(b) true strain


ε = ln rx = ln 6.25 = 1.833

(c) extrusion strain


εx = a + b ln rx = 0.8 + 1.4(1.833) = 3.366

(d) ram force


2 2 2
Ao = πDo /4 = π(50) /4 = 1963.5 mm

F = 2578(1963.5) = 5,062,000 N
