Assignment 1

MCB 3073 Manufacturing Technology 2 Submit: Friday, 11 October 2013, before 5 pm.

Aluminium plate (thickness= 100 mm, width= 5000 mm, melting point = 660 0C) is rolled at room temperature to achieve the thickness of 85 mm. Diameter of rolled used is 1 m with the coefficient of friction is 0.2. a. Calculate the maximum possible draft of the process. [3 MARKS] b. Is it possible to do a single rolling from 100 to 85 mm? Why? [1 MARK] c. Calculate the force required (N) to do rolling process if the average true stress is 250 MPa. [2 MARKS] d. If the process is done at 3000C, determine whether it is cold rolling or hot rolling. [2 MARKS] e. Compare the microstructure formed by rolling at room temperature and at 3000C. [2 MARKS]
