Torque and Power

The power is spent principally in four ways 1) The energy needed to deform the metal. 2) The energy needed to overcome the frictional force. 3) The power lost in the pinions and power-transmission system. 4) Electrical losses in the various motors and generators. Remarks: Losses in the windup reel and uncoiler must also be considered.

The total rolling load is distributed over the arc of contact in the typical friction-hill pressure distribution. However the total rolling load can be assumed to be concentrated at a point along the act of contact at a distance a from the line of centres of the rolls. The ratio of the moment arm a to the projected length of the act of contact Lp can be given as
a = LP
a R h
Where is 0.5 for hot-rolling and 0.45 for cold-rolling. The torque MT is equal to the total rolling load P multiplied by the effective moment arm a. Since there are two work rolls, the torque is given by MT = 2Pa During one revolution of the top roll the resultant rolling load P moves along the circumference of a circle equal to 2a. Since there are two work rolls, the work done W is equal to
Work = 2(2 a)P
Since power is defined as the rate of doing work, i.e., 1 W = 1 J s-1, the power (in watts) needed to operated a pair of rolls revolving at N Hz (s-1) in deforming metal as it flows through the roll gap is given by W = 4 aPN Where P is in Newtons and a is in metre.

DirectExtrusion
A solid ram drives the entire billet to and through a stationary die and must provide additional power to overcome the frictional resistance between the surface of the moving billet and the confining chamber.
IndirectExtrusion
A hollow ram drives the die back through a stationary, confined billet.
Since no relative motion, friction between the billet and the chamber is eliminated.
