Question

A 4 mm thick aluminum sheet of width w=100w = 100 mm is rolled in a two-roll mill of roll diameter 200 mm each. The workpiece is lubricated with a mineral oil, which gives a coefficient of friction, μ=0.1\mu = 0.1. The flow stress (σ\sigma) of the material in MPa is σ=207+414ϵ\sigma = 207 + 414 \epsilon, where ϵ\epsilon is the true strain. Assuming rolling to be a plane strain deformation process, the roll separation force (FF) for maximum permissible draft (thickness reduction) is _________ kN (round off to the nearest integer).
Use:
F=1.15σˉ(1+μL2hˉ)wLF = 1.15 \bar{\sigma} \left( 1 + \frac{\mu L}{2\bar{h}} \right) wL, where ar{\sigma} is average flow stress, LL is roll-workpiece contact length, and hˉ\bar{h} is the average sheet thickness.
