Cold rolling is one of the most vital manufacturing operation in the sheet metal industries. It produces controlled size and accurate thinner gauge components with a smooth surface. In cold rolling operation, the rolls are the most important component. If rolls surface gets finished at a greater level, a smooth surface on the final products can be achieved. This may improve functional performance for their practical use. To accomplish this requirement, the magnetorheological (MR) finishing process using rectangular-rotating tool core tip has been used to finish the external surface of the rolls. The process parameters such as roll workpiece rotation, tool feed, tool rotation, working gap and current intensity of the electromagnet and composition of MR polishing fluid are considered to investigate the performance of cold rolling rolls using the rectangular-rotating core tip-based MR finishing process.
