13.1 Calculation of Roll Force and Torque in Flat-rolling

 

• This chapter describes the rolling of metals, which is the most important metal-forming operation based on the total volume of metals rolled.
• The chapter begins with a description of the flat-rolling process and analysis of the force, torque, and power required, in terms of relevant material and process parameters; it also includes a review of defects and their causes in rolled products.
• Shape-rolling processes are then described, where workpieces pass through a series of shaped rolls.
• Special ...
