Forming Processes - ROLLING - Numerical Problems with Solutions (solved)

FORMING PROCESSES

Example 3.1 (ROLLING)

A strip with a cross-section of 150 mm × 6 mm is being rolled with 20% reduction in area, using 400-mm-diameter steel rolls. Before and after rolling, the shear yield stress of the material is 0.35 kN/mm2 and 0.4 kN/mm2, respectively. Calculate (i) the final strip thickness, (ii) the average shear yield stress during the process, (iii) the angle subtended by the deformation zone at the roll centre, and (iv) the location of the neutral point θn. Assume the coefficient of friction to be 0.1

SOLUTION


(i) As no widening is considered during rolling, 20% reduction in the area implies a longitudinal strain of 0.2 with consequent 20% reduction in the thickness. Therefore, the final strip thickness is given as

(ii) The average shear yield stress during the process is taken to be the arithmetic mean of the initial and the final values of the yield stress. So,

(iii) From figure, it is clear that
Substituting the values, we get

(iv) To determine θn, first λn has to be calculated. Since nothing has been mentioned regarding the forward and the back tension, σxi and σxt will be assumed zero. Hence,
where
Substituting the values of R, tf, and θi in the expression for λi, we get λi = 5.99.
Now using this value of λi, we find that the value of λn is 1.88
θn can be expressed as
Hence,



EXAMPLE 3.2 (ROLLING)

Assuming the speed of rolling to be 30 m/min, determine (i) the roll separating force and (ii) the power required in the rolling process describes in Example 3.1

SOLUTION
From above equation, we see that to find out the roll separating force F, we need to know the pressure p (as a function of θ), θn and θi. In Example 3.1, we have already calculated θn and θi. For the numerical integration of the above equation, we employ Simpson’s rule, using four divisions after θn and eight divisions before θn. Thus,
With these intervals, the pressure at different station points can be computed, using following equations.

Next, we compile the following data. After the neutral point:

Now, from equation (1), the roll separating force per unit width is
(i) Since the width of the strip is 150 mm, the roll separating force is

(ii) The driving torque per unit width for each roll can be computed, as
Taking the values before and after the neutral point and using Simpson’s rule, we find
So, the total driving torque for each roll is 100.8 × 150 N-m = 15210 N-m
Now, the total power required to drive the two rolls is 2 × 15, 120 × ω W, ω being the roll speed in rad/sec. The rolling speed (same as peripheral speed of rolls) is given to be 30 m/min. So,

Thus, the total power (2PR) = 75.6 kW.

The power required in the rolling process is 75.6 kW




EXAMPLE 3.3

If the diameter of the bearings in Examples 3.1 and 3.2 is 150 mm and the coefficient of friction (µb) is 0.005, estimate the required mill power.

SOLUTION

Substituting the values of µb, db, ω, and F in following equation, we obtain
So, the mill power is given as

  2. I'm  here to share my testimony of what a good trusted loan company did for me. My name is Nikita Tanya, from Russian and I’m a lovely mother of 3 kids I lost my funds on trying to get a loan it was so hard for me and my children, I went online to seek for a loan assistance  all hope was lost until one faithful day when I met this friend of mine who recently secured a loan from Le_Meridian Funding Service She introduced me to this honest loan company who helped me get a loan in within 5 working days, I will forever be grateful to Mr Benjamin, for helping me get back on feet again. You can contact Mr Benjamin via email: lfdsloans@lemeridianfds.com, they do not know I’m doing this for them, but i just have to do it because a lot of people are out there who are in need of a loan assistance  please come to this company and be saved.WhatsApp:(+1 989-394-3740)
