Cold Rolling
Cold Rolling
(OP)
Dear all
I would like to know, what is the maximum thickness of a carbon steel plate, for instance ASTM A516, can be cold rolled? Is there any code we can refer to?
What is the limit of thickness a plate can be hot rolled?
Thanks very much
Ms Aida

RE: Cold Rolling
You'll have some limitations based on impact tests required, impact test exemptions, etc.
If I remember right, the A516 specification has a maximum thickness of 8" or so.
Anyway, when you get into stuff like that, the challenge becomes paying for it rather than doing it.
Quote from a fabricator's website:
"The narrower the width of the plate entering the machine, the thicker the plate that can be rolled. For example, CMRP can roll a 2" thick, 12' wide steel plate, or we can roll a 12" thick, 3' wide steel plate. We can also roll thick material to very tight diameters—for example, 2" thick, 10" wide material can be rolled to a 19" diameter..."- this from https://www.cmrp.com/plate-rolling-services
If you're contemplating something like that, get your fabricator/designer involved sooner rather than later.
If you can furnish more information, you're likely to get better answers.
