Study Notes

  • The topic is classification of deforming processes, specifically metal forming.

Metal Forming Processes

  • Divided into Bulk Metal Forming and Sheet Metal Forming.
  • Bulk Metal Forming involves metal thickness greater than 6mm.
  • Sheet Metal Forming involves metal thickness of 6mm or less.
  • Bulk Metal Forming processes: Rolling, Forging, Extrusion, Drawing.
  • Sheet Metal Forming processes: Shearing, Bending, Deep Drawing.

Types of Deformation

  • Elastic Deformation: Reversible change where the material returns to its original shape when the force is removed.
  • Plastic Deformation: Permanent change where the material remains deformed after the force is removed.
  • Material Breaks: The material fractures or separates.

Metal Forming Processes According to Temperature

  • Hot Working Processes involve the plastic deformation of metals above their recrystallization temperature.
  • Hot working requires less force and allows for greater deformation, but results in a poor surface finish and inaccurate dimensions.
  • Cold Working Processes involve the plastic deformation of metals below their recrystallization temperature.
  • Cold working requires higher forces and heavier equipment but results in a good surface finish and accurate dimensions.

Rolling

  • Rolling is a bulk deformation process that reduces the thickness or cross section of the work using compressive forces from two opposing rolls.
  • Types of rolling based on workpiece geometry: Flat rolling and Shape rolling.
  • Flat rolling reduces the thickness of a rectangular cross section.
  • Shape rolling forms a square cross section into a specific shape like I-beam.
  • Types of rolling based on rolling temperature: Hot rolling and Cold rolling.
  • Hot rolling is used for large amounts of deformation.
  • Cold rolling produces sheets with smooth surfaces and accurate dimensions.

Configuration of Rolling Mills

  • Two-high mill pullover: The stock is returned to the entrance for further reduction.
  • Two-high mill reversed: The work is passed back and forth through the rolls by reversing their direction of rotation.
  • Three-high mill: Consists of upper and lower driven rolls with a middle roll rotating by friction.
  • Four-high mill: Small diameter rolls (forming rolls) are supported by larger diameter backup rolls (supporting rolls).
  • Cluster Mill: Each of the work rolls is supported by two backing rolls.

Applications of Rolling

  • Used for making hollow seamless tubes and rods.
  • Produces large length cross sections.
  • Used in construction materials (roofing panels, partition beams, railroads).
  • Used in the automotive industry for manufacturing parts.
  • Used to make steel sheets and plates.
