STUDY OF THE FEASIBILITY OF APPLYING ULTRASONIC ENERGY TO THE ROLLING PROCESS FOR SHEET METALS.
Abstract
Ultrasonic energy was applied to the rolling process by attaching a transducer directly to an aluminum workpiece. This technique reduced rolling load a maximum of 13% and typically 6%. This effect is attributed to decreased friction in the roll-gap. No acoustic reduction in yield strength was apparent in these experiments even though sound intensities were capable of cracking reduced thin aluminum bars. (Author)
