Explanation:

Camber:

  • The variation of sheet thickness along with its width is called camber.
  • The following three types of cambers are observed on rolled sheets.
  1. Convex - The sheet is thicker in the middle and thinner towards the edges.
  2. Concave - The sheet is thinner in the middle and thicker toward the edges.
  3. Triangular - The sheet is thicker on one side and thinner on the other.

Cambering of Rolls:

  • The convex shape of the sheet is mainly due to the deflection or bending of rolls like a beam.
  • An increased diameter at the middle of rolls designed to counterbalance the bending of the rolls when they are subjected to high pressures during rolling.
