We were asked in our Manufacturing Processes class to design a process for the manufacture of AISI 304 stainless steel sheet. Starting with hot rolled sheet 9 gauge (U.S.G.) in thickness and 32” wide. The final product is required to be 30 gauge (U.S.G.) in thickness and 32”. Our design needs to be based on a commercial-practice, tandem rolling operation, achieving the total reduction by progressive rolling without intermediate annealing, unless required. We need to consider: roll gap geometries, i.e., diameter, lengths, ect., reduction/ pass schedule, lubricant, rolling velocities, etc. also the: residual stresses, strengths, defect, etc. on the final product. Do any of you guys have any experience with something like this? We could really use some guidance, because most of the information we seem to find is theoretical which is tough to understand and apply. An explanation of how to do achieve this would be great, including things such as what to make the rollers out of etc. would help a lot. Thanks! |

That's a pretty tall order...
I'd suggest you first start by looking at the Wikopedia write up on rolling mills then look at all the highlighted portions of that description as they apply. Once you become more familiar you'll know where to look for the answers to the finer details of the tooling and operation. There are too many details for somebody to simply blurt out all your answers and moreso... the point of your assignment would be completely lost. In doing the legwork you'll... accidentally... learn more about the processes than if someone hands the information to you on a platter. One tidbit I'll give you is this. You'll certainly need to incorporate annealling into your assignment so might as well look that up as well. Good luck!!

Okay thanks guys. I'm not looking for somebody to give me the answer, but just mainly some guidance from somebody that maybe has some actually real world experience. I'll look into those articles. And thanks for the annealing tip. Modified by glp86 at Thu, Nov 12, 2009, 20:11:50 |
