Rolling Process
This demo illustrates the procedure for a 2-high rolling mill. Calculation of the maximum reduction that can be achieved and the power required to drive the rolling mill will be explained.
Rolling Process
Introduction
Rolling: Is the process of plastically deforming metal by passing it between rolls Is widely used to convert steel ingots into blooms, billets, and slabs, and subsequently into plates, sheets and strips
Advantages: Provides high throughput Provides good control over the dimensions of the finished product In Hot Rolling: Metal is rolled at a temperature above its recrystallization temperature Higher reduction in the cross-section is achieved In Cold Rolling: Metal is rolled at a temperature below its recrystallization temperature Better strength and control of dimensions are achieved
Rolling Process
Rolling Process
Rolls transfer energy to the strip through friction. As the strip is dragged by the rolls into the gap between them, it decreases in thickness while passing from the entrance to the exit. Meanwhile its speed gradually increases from the entrance to the exit.
V0 = input velocity Vf = final or output velocity R = roll radius hb = back height hf = output or final thickness
Rolling Process
Roll Gap
V0 = input velocity Vf = final or output velocity R = roll radius hb = back height hf = output or final thickness = = angle of bite L = Roll Gap
Rolling Process
Neutral Point
V0 = input velocity Vf = final or output velocity R = roll radius hb = back height hf = output or final thickness = = angle of bite N-N = neutral point or no-slip point L = Roll Gap
To the left of the Neutral Point: Velocity of the strip < Velocity of the roll To the right of the Neutral Point: Velocity of the strip > Velocity of the roll
Rolling Process
Position of the Neutral Point
As the neutral point reaches the exit, the rolls skid over the strip and the strip will stop moving. Maximum reduction is given by:

Rolling Process
always bad since it retards exit of reduced metal always good since it drags metal into the gap between the rolls advantageous before the neutral point disadvantageous after the neutral point
Rolling Process
better dimensional control and higher strength better dimensional control but poorer strength
worse dimensional control and higher strength better dimensional control and poorer strength
Rolling Process
higher than velocity at the entry lower than velocity at the entry either equal to or lower than velocity at the entry, depending on the coefficient of friction either equal to or higher than velocity at the entry, depending on the coefficient of friction
