Aluminum Hot Rolling Process and Metallurgy Robert Sanders Chongqing University Rolling Technology and Metallurgy • General Rolling Mill Technology • Importance of Surface and Lubrication(润滑) • Temperature and Flow Stress • Hardening vs Dynamic Recovery • Recrystallization • Texture Development Metallurgy and Industrial Application of 2 Aluminum Alloys – 2010-2011 Rolling of Metals and Alloys • First rolling mills appeared about 1650 – driven by water power • Steam-powered mills appeared in late 1700’s • Alcoa began rolling aluminum in the US in 1892 • In early 1900’s electric- powered mills were developed Metallurgy and Industrial Application of 3 Aluminum Alloys – 2010-2011 In 1912, Alcoa’s New Kensington (PA) Works was a modern sheet rolling mill. The rolling operation required two men to pass the sheet back and forth. Operators adjusted the screws by hand, turning the wheels at the top of each mill by hand. They also sanded their rolls by hand to refinish them.
