What are the characteristics of steel plate rolling?
strain 0.1-0.4
strain rate 1-30 s^-1
interpass time: 8-10 s
housing has to support high loads
How many stands are normally used in each step for producing a round bar?
7-8 roughing stand
6-10 intermediate stand
10 finishing stand
How can the length that is being worked by the roll be calculated?
What is the continuity equation for rolling?
How can the friction coefficient be derivated?
l_d=working length
What is the maximum reduction in rolling?
Name the usual firction coefficient for steels and Al alloys in hot rolling.
steels: 0.2-0.5
Al alloys. 0.15-0.3
What is the usual friction coefficient in cold rolling?
<0.1 always lubricated
What is the ford equation and what is calculated by it?
S=rolling force
R=radious
How are the strain and stress calculated in rolling and what assumptions are necessary?
assumptions: plain strain(epsilon 3=0), absence of friction
Describe the pressure distribution on the roll with the presence of friction compared to no present friction.
Name the components of this formula:
P=rolling load
w_0=width of sheet
sigma_1=mean plain strain flow stress
L=length of contact
G=parameter based on friction length of contact and height reduction

Heating
roughing
finishing
cold rolling
annealing
What is coiling?
The process of transferring a long product like for example a wire onto a coil for transportation.
Why should ferritic, low C steels be cold coiled and what does that mean?
Cold coiling: T<660°C carbo nitrides do not have time to precipitate
Hot coiling: T>660°C Al carbo nitrides have time to precipitate during coiling
