Principle

1. Assertion (A): While rolling metal sheet in rolling mill, the edges are sometimes not straight
and flat but are wavy. [IES-2003]
Reason (R): Non-uniform mechanical properties of the flat material rolled out result in waviness
of the edges.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
(b)) Both A and R arc true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
(c) A is true hut R is false
(d) A is false but R is true

2. In rolling a strip between two rolls, the position of the neutral point in the arc of contact does
not depend on [IES-2002]
(a) amount of reduction (b) diameter of the rolls
(c) coefficient of friction (d) material of the rolls

3. Which of the following assumptions are correct for cold rolling? [IES-2001]
1. The material is plastic.
2. The arc of contact is circular with a radius greater than the radius of the roll.
3. Coefficient of friction is constant over the arc of contact and acts in one direction
throughout the arc of contact.
Select the correct answer using the codes given below:
Codes: (a) 1 and 2 (b) 1 and 3 (c) 2 and 3 (d) 1, 2 and 3

4. A strip is to be rolled from a thickness of 30 mm to 15 mm using a two-high mill having rolls of

diameter 300 mm. The coefficient of friction for unaided bite should nearly be [IES-2001]
(a) 0.35 (b) 0.5 (c) 0.25 (d) 0.07

5. In the rolling process, roll separating force can be decreased by [IES-2000]

(a) reducing the roll diameter (b) increasing the roll diameter
(c) providing back-up rolls (d) increasing the friction between the rolls and the metal

6. Assertion (A): In a two high rolling mill there is a limit to the possible reduction in thickness in
one pass. [IES-1999]
Reason (R): The reduction possible in the second pass is less than that in the first pass.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
(b)) Both A and R arc true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
(c) A is true hut R is false
(d) A is false but R is true
7. Assertion (A): Plastic deformation in metals and alloys is a permanent deformation under
load. This property is useful in obtaining products by cold rolling. [IES-1998]
Reason (R): Plastic or permanent deformation in metal or alloy is caused by movement or
dislocations.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
(b)) Both A and R arc true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
(c) A is true hut R is false
(d) A is false but R is true
