Rolling technique is a versatile process used to shape and reduce metal into various forms for different applications.
5 Key Materials You Should Know
1. Steel
Steel is one of the most commonly used materials in rolling technique.
2. Copper
Copper is another popular material that undergoes rolling to shape it into various forms.
3. Magnesium
Magnesium is also used in rolling technique, often in the form of alloys.
4. Aluminum
Aluminum is a lightweight yet strong material that is frequently rolled into different shapes.
5. Their Alloys
The alloys of these metals are also commonly used in rolling technique.
These materials are hot rolled, meaning they are passed through a rolling mill to shape them into various forms such as bars, plates, sheets, rails, angles, and structural sections.
Hot rolling involves subjecting the materials to intense squeezing and shearing between two rolls.
This deformation increases the contact area between the compositions and helps in achieving uniform mixing.
The process is repeated until the desired compound is obtained in a sheet form.
The rolling mills used for this technique can be small, manually-operated bench-top systems or large, powered machines.
They are used in the production of various products such as bars, rods, wire rods, bands, hoops, metal shapes, plates, and jewelry.
The choice of rolling mill depends on specifications such as roll diameter, type of metal to roll, maximum separation force, total column area, and estimated floor space.
There are two main types of rolling mills: hot rolling mills and cold rolling mills.
Hot rolling mills are used when the metalworking application requires high temperatures.
Cold rolling mills are used for lower temperature applications.
In both types of mills, the metal is passed through two or more rolls arranged in a symmetrical pattern.
The rolls rotate at the same speed in opposite directions.
The metal is passed through the machine multiple times, with the spaces between the cylinders decreasing each time to make the metal increasingly thinner.
Overall, the rolling technique is a versatile process used to shape and reduce metal into various forms for different applications.
