3.3 Materials
The tangential rolling method can be used for all metallic materials with a breaking
elongation A ≥ 7 %. The tensile strength R
m
should not exceed approx. 1000 N/mm
2
(145.000 Pa). If the material properties are close to the said limiting values, the rollabil-
ity is dependent on the required volume of forming. If the volume of forming is very
small, these values can be exceeded. In general, the materials should have a minimum
breaking elongation of approx. 7 % and not exceed a tensile strength of 1700 N/mm
2
(246.000 Pa). Accordingly, structural and case-hardening steels, stainless steels, heat-
treated steels up to approx. 1600 N/mm
2
(232.000 Pa) are suitable. Soft brass, copper,
light metals, ferritic castings such as GGG 40 or GTS 35 etc.
Brittle materials with a low breaking elongation such as gray cast iron, hard brass
alloys and hardened materials are not suitable.
Warning
Only materials with a breaking elongation > 7 % are suitable for processing.
Brittle materials may cause splinters. Risk of injury!
3.4 Thread length
On each roll side there is a chamfer of the width of the thread pitch P. The largest
theoretical thread length L thus corresponds to the maximum roll width B
2
(see Chap-
ter 12.1) minus 2 x thread pitch P (also make sure to note the requirements specified
in Chapter 3.5!).
