In the workshop of heavy machinery manufacturing,the rolling machine is like a silent steel giant,devouring,kneading,and spitting out curved steel plates.And the operators who control this giant beast are those known as"plate makers"-they use their hands to sense the pulse of metal,measure the accuracy of curvature with experience,and within a margin of error of 0.1 millimeters,give the cold steel plate the curvature of life.
The operation of the plate rolling machine seems simple:adjust the roller spacing,place the steel plate,start the hydraulic system,and observe the forming process.But true craftsmen know that every action hides knowledge.True craftsmanship lies not only in repetition,but also in breaking through boundaries.Faced with the difficulty of rolling a new type of composite material board,traditional hydraulic rolling may cause interlayer delamination.90s operator Xiao Chen proposed the"segmented progressive rolling method":dividing the steel plate into multiple areas,first pre rolling at low temperature to form a memory arc,and then activating the material plasticity through local heating to achieve overall forming.This method has been incorporated into enterprise standards and obtained national patents.
