Chapter Cold-Rolling Mill Vibration and Its Impact on Productivity and Product Quality

This chapter describes the common types of mill vibration that can be experienced during the cold rolling of steel and aluminum. Two main problems are highlighted in more detail, namely third octave gauge chatter and fth octave chatter. Third octave gauge chatter still poses a dif cult problem for the metal rolling industry, in some instances causing signi cant nancial loss due to a reduction in cold-rolling speeds. Fifth octave chatter is more common in mills and can cause signi cant surface quality issues.
