Assignment-1

Guidelines:

 Mention all steps.


 Draw precise sketches.
 Date of Announcement: 24-12-2022
 Date of submission: 02-12-2022
Q1. A 2.0 in thick slab is 10.0 in wide and 12.0 ft long. Thickness is to be reduced in three steps
in a hot rolling operation. Each step will reduce the slab to 75% of its previous thickness. It is
expected that for this metal and reduction, the slab will widen by 3% in each step. If the entry
speed of the slab in the first step is 40 ft/min, and the roll speed is the same for the three steps,
determine (a) length and (b) exit velocity of the slab after the final reduction.
Q2. A plat that is 250 mm wide and 25 mm thick is to be reduced in a single pass in a two-high
rolling mill to a thickness of 20 mm. The roll has a radius = 500 mm, and its speed = 30 m/min.
The work material has a strength coefficient = 240 MPa and a strain hardening exponent = 0.2.
Determine: (a) roll force, (b) roll torque, and (c) power required to accomplish this operation.
Q3. A hot upset forging operation is performed in an open die. The initial size of the work part
is: Do = 25 mm, and ho = 50 mm. The part is upset to a diameter = 50 mm. The work metal at
this elevated temperature yields at 85 MPa (n = 0). Coefficient of friction at the die-work
interface = 0.40. Determine: (a) final height of the part, and (b) maximum force in the
operation.
Q4. A 3.0-in long cylindrical billet whose diameter = 1.5 in is reduced by indirect extrusion to a
diameter = 0.375 in. Die angle = 90°. In the Johnson equation, a = 0.8 and b = 1.5. In the flow
curve for the work metal, K = 75,000 lb/in2 and n = 0.25. Determine: (a) extrusion ratio, (b) true
strain (homogeneous deformation), (c) extrusion strain, (d) ram pressure, (e) ram force, and (f)
power if the ram speed = 20 in/min.
Q5. Wire of starting diameter = 3.0 mm is drawn to 2.5 mm in a die with entrance angle = 15°
degrees. Coefficient of friction at the work-die interface = 0.07. For the work metal, K = 500
MPa and n = 0.30. Determine: (a) area reduction, (b) draw stress, and (c) draw force required
for the operation
