Sheet metal rolling using two roller powered machine

In Sheet Metal working industry a wide range of power and hand operated machines are being used. As the sheet metal industry is a large and growing industry different types of machines are used for different operations. Rolling is a fabricating process in which the metal, plastic, paper, glass, etc. is passed through a pair (or pairs) of rolls. There are two types of rolling process, flat and profile rolling. In flat rolling the final shape of the product is either classed as sheet (typically thickness less than 3 mm, also called "strip") or plate (typically thickness more than 3 mm). In profile rolling the final product may be a round rod or other shaped bar, such as a structural section (beam, channel, joist etc). In this study, different metals are been rolled by using two roller electrically powered rolling machine and its properties are being analyzed. The influence of rolling process parameters such as sheet thickness, sheet width, Elongation, Reduction in thickness on the Strip and shape and its profile have been investigated.
