Rolling is the most commonly used procedure of forming/shaping metals by achieving higher production, higher productivity, and excellent last product than other forming processes. This is mainly used in producing aluminum and copper used in construction and other industries. Aluminum is quite light in weight and can bend easily to any tedious shape; copper material also has a greater tendency to draw wire and sheet with the help of structural rolling.
Ideally, rolling is a kind of metal-forming procedure that reduces
the thickness of metal and makes it uniform by passing it through one or more
pairs of rolls. The theory is similar to rolling the dough. The rolling
procedure is performed in coherence with the temperature of the metal to be
rolled. If the temperature of the metal is above its recrystallization
temperature, then the process is called as hot rolling. If the temperature of
the metal is lower than its recrystallization, it is called cold rolling.
Structural shape rolling is important in the current metal-forming
process, performed without material loss. Structural shape rolling is a
metal-forming procedure in which, via a pair of rolls, a metal element is made
to pass through it. There are two different kinds of rolling processes — flats
rolling and profile rolling. In flat rolling, the last shape of the piece is
either categorized as a sheet, also called a plate (thickness more than 3 mm),
or a “strip” (thickness less than 3 mm). In profile rolling, the last material,
besides being a round rod, can be other cross-section-shaped pieces such as
structural sections (beam, joist, channel, rails, etc.). Applications of
structural shape rolling:
·
construction materials,
·
partition beam
·
ceiling panel
·
Roofing panels.
·
steel pipe
·
automotive parts
·
household appliances
·
metal furniture,
·
door and window frames
·
other metal products
Advantages of structural shape rolling:
• It is a cost-effective process of bending any kind of metal or
material as the process requires less set-up time and uses hand-made dies that
are changed according to the dimension and shape of the metal part.
• In this process, there is no wastage of the material involved.
• Some complex shapes can also be easily achieved
