Flat-Rolling Process

Figure 13.2 (a) Schematic illustration of the flat-rolling process. (b) Friction forces acting onstrip surfaces. (c) Roll force, F , and the torque, T , acting on the rolls. The width of the strip,w , usually increases during rolling, as shown later in Fig. 13.5.

Roll Arrangements

Figure 13.3 Schematic illustration of various roll arrangements: (a) four-highrolling mill showing various features. The stiffness of the housing, the rolls, and theroll bearings are all important in controlling and maintaining the thickness of therolled strip; (b) two-hill mill; (c) three-high mill; and (d) cluster (or Sendzimir) mill.

Bending of Rolls

Spreading in Flat Rolling

Figure 13.5 Increase in strip width (spreading) in flat rolling. Note thatsimilar spreading can be observed when dough is rolled with a rolling pin.

Effects of Hot Rolling

Figure 13.6 Changes in the grain structure of cast or of large-grain wroughtmetals during hot rolling. Hot rolling is an effective way to reduce grain sizein metals for improved strength and ductility. Cast structures of ingots or continuous castings are converted to a wrought structure by hot working.

Defects in Flat Rolling

Residual Stresses Developed in Rolling

Figure 13.9 (a) Residual stresses developed in rolling with small-diameter rolls or at smallreductions in thickness per pass. (b) Residual stresses developed in rolling with large-diameter rolls or at high reductions per pass. Note the reversal of the residual stress patterns.

Tandem-Rolling

Shape Rolling of an H-section part

Figure 13.12 Steps in theshape rolling of an H-

section part. Various other structural sections, such aschannels and I-beams, alsoare rolled by this kind of process.

Roll-Forging

Figure 13.13 Two examples of the roll-forging operation, also known as cross-rolling.Tapered leaf springs and knives can be made by this process. Source : After J. Holub.

Production of Steel Balls

Figure 13.14 (a) Production of steel balls by the skew-rolling process. (b) Production of steel balls by upsetting a cylindrical blank. Note the formation of flash. The balls made bythese processes subsequently are ground and polished for use in ball bearings.

Ring-Rolling

Figure 13.15 (a) Schematic illustration of a ring-rolling operation. Thickness reductionresults in an increase in the part diameter. (b-d) Examples of cross-sections that can beformed by ring-rolling.

Thread-Rolling Processes

Machined and Rolled Threads

Figure 13.17 (a) Features of a machined or rolled thread. Grain flow in (b) machined and(c) rolled threads. Unlike machining, which cuts through the grains of the metal, the rollingof threads imparts improved strength because of cold working and favorable grain flow.

Cavity Formation in Bar

Various Tube-Rolling Processes

Figure 13.19 Schematic illustration of various tube-rolling processes: (a) with afixed mandrel; (b) with a floating mandrel; (c) without a mandrel; and (d) pilger rolling over a mandrel and a pair of shaped rolls. Tube diameters and thicknessesalso can be changed by other processes, such as drawing, extrusion, and spinning.
