Residual stresses form in rolled sheet metal
What are the residual stresses in flat sheet metal rolled into a cylindrical shape? My specific problem is 316 stainless steel, 0.090 in. thick, rolled to a diameter of 30 inches, but I would like to know in general what internal stresses are formed from the sheet metal rolling process.- jb68021oh
