1.

When the work rolls are rotating with a

peripheral speed,at some point in the roll
gap,the peripheral velocities of the roll and
the workpiece are equal.This point is known
as the Nuetral Point.
2. To the left of this point,the surface velocity of
the metal is lower is than the roll peripheral
velocity.
3. This difference in speeds produces friction
between the metal and the rolls which tends
to draw the material in the roll gap.
4. To the right of the nuetral point,the metal
velocity is greater than the roll peripheral
velocity,so the friction tends to retain the
metal in the roll.

1. Since all the rolls are elastic, some deformation of the rolls occurs during rolling.
2. Arc of contact is lengthened for the same draft when compared with a rigid roll.
3. Planes of entry and exit are shifted outward from the centerline of the rolls.

Strip Widening Phenomenon..

1. Whenever a strip undergoes a reduction, there is always

a tendency for the strip to undergo spread in lateral
width.
2. This spread in lateral width is also a reason why we cant
have excessively large reductions in the strip.

Exit strip thickness depends on

Mill characteristics
Strip characteristics

Exit strip thickness can be

determined by finding
intersection of Mill elastic
deflection and strip plastic curve
