True/False Questions (support your answers with explanation)

1-Rolling is a process in which the thickness of the workpiece is reduced by tensile
forces.

False Rolling reduces the thickness of the workpiece by compressive forces applied by
rolls, not by tensile forces.

2. Hot rolling generally results in a rougher surface finish compared to cold rolling.
True

3. Bloom has a larger cross-section than a slab. True

A bloom has a larger cross-section than a slab. A bloom is typically more square, while a
slab is flatter and wider

4. Cold rolling results in higher dimensional accuracy than hot rolling.

True

5. In rolling, spreading refers to the reduction in width during the process.

False Spreading refers to an increase in the width of the material during rolling due to the
compression forces. It does not imply a reduction in width.

6. The draft in rolling is defined as the difference between the initial and final
thickness of the workpiece. True

7. Cold rolling typically requires more energy than hot rolling.

False rolling because cold-rolled materials are already near their final shape, while hot
rolling requires significant energy to maintain the high temperatures.

8. Continuous rolling mills are used for high-precision, low-volume production.

False, not low-volume, because they involve multiple rolling stands arranged sequentially
for efficient large-scale production

9. Friction plays a crucial role in pulling the material into the roll gap during rolling.

True
10. The coefficient of friction in hot rolling is typically higher than in cold rolling.

True

11. In rolling, the no-slip point is where the velocity of the roll and workpiece are
equal.

True

12. Increasing the roll radius reduces the rolling force required for deformation.

False Increasing the roll radius typically increases the rolling force because a larger radius
means more contact area between the roll and the material,

13. Cold rolling results in higher strain hardening than hot rolling.

True Cold rolling results in higher strain hardening because the process strengthens the
material by deforming it at room temperature

14. Rolling cannot be used for materials like aluminum or copper.

False Rolling is commonly used for materials like aluminum and copper. Both hot and cold
rolling processes are used for a variety of metals, including steel, aluminum, and copper

15. In rolling, the power required increases as the draft increases.

True The power required for rolling increases as the draft (thickness reduction) increases
because greater deformation of the material requires more energy.

16. A two-high rolling mill allows for reversing the direction of the rolls.

True A two-high rolling mill can reverse the direction of the rolls to allow back-and-forth
rolling, which is often used in small-scale or initial rolling processes.

17. Spreading is more pronounced in materials with low width-to-thickness ratios.

True Spreading is more pronounced in materials with low width-to-thickness ratios

because the material has more room to expand laterally when it is compressed.

18. Hot rolling is typically used to produce thinner, high-quality surface finishes.

False Hot rolling is typically used for thicker products and rough shapes, whereas cold
rolling is used for thinner products with high-quality surface finishes.

19. The roll-work contact area is directly related to the roll radius and the workpiece
thickness.
True The roll-work contact area depends on the roll radius and the thickness of the
workpiece. A larger roll radius or thicker material increases the contact area.

20. Higher rolling speed reduces the power required for rolling.

False Higher rolling speed generally increases the power required for rolling because the
deformation rate is higher, leading to more resistance from the material.
