Defects in rolling can be primarily categorized as
a. General
b. Operational
General
The defects may arise due to
Operational
Waviness-Varying thickness
Variation in the work across the width in sheet rolling occurs because the roll gap is not perfectly parallel (a). Since width and volume are constant and thickness is varying, the edges elongate more than the center (b). But the sheet is a continuous body; the strains readjust to maintain continuity. Thus the center portion is in tension and the edges are in compression (c). The result is a wavy edge (d)
Edge Cracking
The length of the center portion increases but the edges are prevented due to frictional force.As a result the material gets rounded off (a). The edges are strained in tension leading to edge cracking along the width of the slab (b). When the difference in the strains become excess i.e. under severe condition, split at the center of the slab occurs (c).
