The main objective of this dissertation was to investigate how cold rolling process parameters could be optimised to improve surface quality of the AA 3003 H22 treadbright coils. This treadbright product is one of Hulett Aluminium’s main products and is exported mainly to the North American market. One of its critical requirements is a defect-free bright surface. The literature review was conducted with particular focus on the effects of selected parameters or settings with respect to surface quality and a chapter outlining these aspects has been included. It was clear from the literature review that selected parameters do affect the surface quality and if adjusted accordingly can improve surface quality on treadbright coils. Subsequent chapters after the literature review outline how the tests were conducted, procedures followed and equipments used from the cold rolling machine to laboratories. Surface appearance results after each parameter was adjusted, showed that the surface quality did improve and even got better when other parameters like the colouring roll angle and percentage reduction were adjusted. Correct working limits within which each parameter would yield acceptable surface quality were also established. All experiments conducted had no influence on the microstructure of the metal as it remained the same throughout each experiment. The same has been found with the mechanical properties as percentage reductions experiments led to no change in tensile strength, proof strength and percentage elongation. In conclusion, this research has proved that cold rolling process parameters selected did affect the product surface quality. If controlled they can be used to optimise the surface quality on the treadbright product as required by Hulett Aluminium and its customers.
