Rolling, forging & extrusion Flashcards
What is rolling
it is a bulk deformation processes, where there is plastic deformation
How much waste does bulk deformation make?
no wastage of material
generally cold is net shape
hot is near net shape
what are bulk deformations performed as
cold(room temp), warm(heated), and hot work (very high heat)
How do u choose which operation is best
bigger the deformation higher the heat
what are the pros and cons of hot working
PROS
less force required, fill the micro cracks, and makes more ductile
CONS
accuracy, tolerence and surface finish is poor
what are the pros and cons of cold working
PROS
better finish and accuracy, much stronger final product
CON
requires ALOT of force
what happens in a rolling processes
length increases significantly and width mildly increases
what happens to the initial and final velocity in a rolling processes
output velocity is much higher than input velocity
what are the 5 rolling mill configurations
- two-high (two opposing rolls)
- three high (work passes in both directions)
- four high (backing rolls support smaller work rolls)
- cluster-mill (multiple backing rolls on smaller rolls)
- tandem rolling mill (sequence of two high mills, velocity is synchronized and increases)
what are the two types of two-high rolling mills
- non reversing mill
- reversing mill (reduces times required)
what does a backup roll do
supports the work roll and saves it from deformation,
(goes in the opposite direction)
also reduces contact area so less force required
what are the 2 roles of rolls
- pull the work into the gap between by friction
- squeeze the work to reduce its cross section (shrinks it)
what is the 2 rolling processes divided to
- flat rolling
- shape rolling
what are defects in flat rolling
- roll and material stick (hot)
- bending of rolls (deformed material)
the thicker the material… (velocity)
lower the velocity
how is bending of rolls compensated for
by applying camber (deforming the roll to give the shape u want)
what are the two types of camber
- insufficient camber (not enough roundness)
- over cambered (too much roundness
grain structure of hot and colds role
hot role is smaller and more random
cold role is bigger and more aligned
What is the roll called for thread rolling
a die
do you use cold or hot rolling for thread rolling
cold rolling because the deformation is small and because it needs to be strong
machined thread vs. roll thread
machine thread grain is straight and not for mass production and roll thread is more curved, better, and better for mass production
what condition is ring rolling generally done in
hot rolling
what is a cavity in rolling
the void when creating tubes in rolling
what is a mandrel used for
to shape the cavity
the higher the forces (work), the _____ material hardening
more
what types of forging of metals are there
cold and hot forging
what are the advantages/ disadvantages of hot and cold forging
same as cold and hot rolling
is forging used for high or low volume
used for high volume production because it is expensive
grain shapes between casting, machining, and forging
casting - random dots
machining - straight line dots
forging - clean and follow shape of product
