Summary: | In metal forming processes, the interface between a workpiece and a tool was occasionally observed directly. However, the rolling interface has almost never been observed because of high-speed roll rotation. To achieve the in situ observation, this paper proposes a novel method where one roll is fixed in the space without rotation, while the other roll revolves around the fixed roll with rotation. With passing the gap between the two rolls, a sheet is rolled. A prototype machine with transparent rolls was fabricated, then the interface in solder rolling was successfully observed from the interior of the fixed roll. |
