Study Notes
Metal Forming Processes
- Metal forming is a process used to change the shape of a metal.
- Two broad categories are bulk deformation and sheet metal working.
Bulk Deformation
- Bulk deformation occurs when significant changes in thickness or cross-section occur with the material remaining the same volume.
- Encompassing surface area changes significantly, usually increasing.
- Raw material starting geometries can be: cylindrical bars and billets, rectangular billets and slabs, or similar shapes.
Rolling
- A deformation process that reduces thickness by using compressive forces.
- Rolling operations reduce thickness or change cross-section.
- Two opposing rolls are used in the process.
- Rotating rolls are used, pulling work into the gap and squeezing it to reduce cross-section.
- Rolling is often the first step to get a finished product.
- Often capital intensive and requiring specific equipment.
- Hot-rolling is common due to the large amount of deformation required. Results in material that is free of residual stress and isotropic properties. This process isn't good for precise tolerances and it leads to oxide scale on the final product.
- Starting stock is typically processed into blooms, billets, or slabs which are further refined into a variety of different shapes and forms.
- A slab is a rectangular solid where the width is greater than twice the thickness. It can be further refined into plate, sheet, and strip.
- A bloom has a square or rectangular cross-section, with thickness greater than 15 cm and a width that is no more than twice the thickness
- A billet is smaller than a bloom and has a square or circular cross-section
Shape Rolling
- In shape rolling, the work deforms into a contoured cross-section.
- Products include I-beams, L-beams, U-channels, rails, round and square bars and rods.
Thread Rolling
- A bulk deformation process used to produce threads on cylindrical parts by rolling between dies.
- Mass production of screws and bolts is a common application.
- Performed by cold-working in thread rolling machines.
- Advantages over thread-cutting include higher production rates, better material utilization, and stronger threads/higher fatigue resistance.
Ring Rolling
- Thick-walled ring of smaller diameter is rolled into a thin-walled ring of larger diameter
- Ring rolling is usually a hot-working process for large rings and a cold working process for smaller rings
- In this process, compressed deformed material elongates, increasing the diameter of the ring
Roll Piercing
- A specialized hot-working process to make seamless thick-walled tubes.
- Two opposing rolls are used in the setup, hence this process is also grouped in the rolling processes.
Rolling Mills Configurations (various)
- Different configurations are available to deal with application variety and/or technical problems.
- Two-high
- Three-high
- Four-high
- Cluster mill
- Tandem rolling mill
Flat Rolling Analysis
- In flat rolling, the work is squeezed between two rolls so that its thickness is reduced by an amount called the draft.
- Draft formula: d=to−tfd = t_o - t_fd=to​−tf​ where d = draft, tot_oto​ = starting thickness, tft_ftf​ = final thickness
- Conservation of metal volume is preserved: towoLo=tfwfLft_o w_o L_o = t_f w_f L_fto​wo​Lo​=tf​wf​Lf​
- Before and after velocities in flat rolling can be related: towovo=tfwfvft_o w_o v_o = t_f w_f v_fto​wo​vo​=tf​wf​vf​
- The contact length can be approximated: L=R(to−tf)L = \sqrt{R(t_o - t_f)}L=R(to​−tf​)​
- Torque for each roll is: T=0.5FLT = 0.5 FLT=0.5FL
- Power needed to drive each roll is: P=2Ï€NTP = 2\pi N TP=2Ï€NT
- Forward slip is: S=vf−vrvrS = \frac{v_f - v_r}{v_r}S=vr​vf​−vr​​
- Maximum draft: dmax=μ2Rd_{max} = \mu^2 Rdmax​=μ2R
- Where μ\muμ = coefficient of friction RRR = radius of roll
- Force to maintain separation is: F = σ w L, where σ = average flow stress, w L = contact area
