Summary

This project was carried out to investigate whether “extrolling” (a recently invented metal forming process which combines rolling and extrusion) is suitable for the continuous processing of flat metal strips into complex cross-sectional shapes.

Since no successful attempt has apparently been made previously to “extroll” rectangular strips into complicated cross-sections, one objective of this work was to achieve this task by carrying out the necessary experiments.

In addition to this experimental work a simple as well as a more complex theory has been developed for the process and they are compared to see whether there are any significant differences between them.
