Rolling of metals

Subjects of interest • Introduction/objectives • Rolling mills • Classification of rolling processes • Hot rolling • Cold rolling • Forces and geometry relationships in rolling • Simplified analysis of rolling load: Rolling variables • Problems and defects in rolled products • Rolling-mill control • Theories of cold rolling • Theories of hot rolling • Torque and power

Objectives • This chapter provides information on different types of metal rolling processes which can also be divided in to hot and cold rolling process. • Mathematical approaches are introduced for the understanding of load calculation in rolling processes. • Finally identification of defects occurring during and its solutions are included.
