Fundamentals of Rolling e-bog

Fundamentals of Rolling presents the theoretical knowledge of longitudinal rolling in a comprehensive procedure. This book discusses the basic theory and principles of rolling processes. Comprised of seven chapters, this book begins with an overview of the three principal methods of rolling, including longitudinal, transverse, and skew rolling processes. This text then illustrates the constrained yield stress distribution along the gap due to work hardening on cold rolling between ideally smooth rolls. Other chapters consider the range of application of various types of rolls and show the basic dimensions of a roll. This book discusses as well the different types of rolls for various rolling mills, including blooming, plate, sheet, sheet bar, small section, heavy product, skin passing, and cold rolling mills. The final chapter explains the purpose of roll pass design to ensure the maximum output at minimum cost as well as to reduce the roll wear to a minimum. This book is a valuable resource for rolling mill engineers.
