The production of sheet (including auto industry sheet) with regulated surface microtopography is considered, beginning with the surface preparation of the working rollers and ending with the formation of roughness beyond the deformation region. The dependence of the impressionability (K Ra in terms of the amplitude and K Pc in terms of the frequency) on the individual and combined effect of various factors-such as the surface properties of the sheet, the reduction in the deformation region, the sheet thickness, the rough ness of the blank, the presence of tempering or washing fluid, the roller diameter, and the tensile stress in the deformation region-is analyzed. The results are consistent with the model of supporting stress in the defor mation region. This information is of practical interest to technologists producing sheet with regulated sur face microtopography.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
