Rod and Bar Rolling

An overview of the fundamental science and assessment of rod and bar rolling procedures, this text offers a review of the basics of deformation mechanics, heat transfer, recrystallization, elasticity, and plasticity for an understanding of the mechanics of solids in engineering applications.
Rod and Bar Rolling highlights the underlying relationship between solid mechanics and materials science. It provides a detailed overview of the deformation of material at high temperatures, an assessment of rod and bar rolling processes, and an in-depth review of the basics of hot rolling, elasticity, plasticity, and recrystallization for a clear understanding of the solid mechanics in engineering applications. This reference presents illustrative discussions of methods utilized at modern rod and bar rolling facilities and current topics such as interstand tension, roll wear at elevated temperatures, water cooling of a workpiece during rolling, and the theoretical principles of rod and bar rolling.
