Hot Rolling Service Providers

Hot Rolling Service Providers

Hot Rolling Service Providers

(OP)
Hello,

I am involved in developing a nitinol off-shoot. According to preliminary rolling experiments, hot rolling may be required to achieve the appropriate reductions. Bear in mind, that I am following another persons previous work, and haven't done any cold-rolling experiments on my own yet. Therefore, I don't know yet the nature of the workability issues during cold rolling.

Would anyone know of any hot rolling service providers that can roll small sized ingots? The ingot with the canning is roughly 3"x 1" x 6". Thanks for any info.

Regards

Not sure of your location, but I would think that your local engineering university may have the equipment if they are metallurgically strong.

We may have to go the university route. The University of Connecticut is nearby. They do have a rolling mill, which they use for undergraduate labs. I'm not sure what material their rolls are made out of. The rolls I use at work are made from 52100, which isn't suitable for hot-rolling.

Thanks, I will give them a call. It's actually not trivial to find a place that can do hot-rolling and be able to get you down to 0.009". That would require smaller sized rollers, and most places that I'm familiar with only use hot-rolling to break-down an ingot. Thanks again.

Regards
