This lecture covers the process of rolling in the production of profiled bars and sheets, focusing on hot and cold rolling, contact length, geometric relationships, and physical relations. It also discusses the specific work of deformation in rolling, the real compression ratio, and mechanical properties of materials. The instructor explains advanced rolling processes, such as ring rolling and the deformation induced by rolling, emphasizing compression and the specific work involved. Additionally, the lecture delves into formulas related to shrinkage, the laminating factor, and the Poisson law, providing a comprehensive overview of the principles and applications of rolling in material processing.
