If the slab is heated before rolling, the rolling process is called hot rolling. The heating temperature depends on the chemical composition of the aluminum
Aluminum alloys offer adaptable tensile strength levels between 60 and 530 MPa, good castability and formability, good chemical resistance, versatile possibilities of surface
In step 1 – the hot strip production process – traditionally the molten metal is cast after refin-ing and alloying processes into 10 to 25-ton slabs in semi-continuous casters, then
On the basis of classic rolling-theory, a rolling force model of AA5052 aluminum alloys during hot rough rolling was investigated. Factors which influenced
All aluminium alloys can be rolled to sheet but, with a few notable exceptions mentioned below, the ones utilised are from the 1000, 3000 and 5000 series which are work
