I'm studying architecture, and I would like to recycle the material from the site I have been given... ie. corrugated iron/steel (unsure which), and was wondering if rolling it flat would be an optionIs it possible to roll a corrugated sheet of metal, back to its original flat state?
You could do it, but it would not be a cost effective idea.
The zinc coating is brittle and would damage the rolls through transfer
The integrity of the corrosion coating on the steel would be compromised
Any fasteners or welds on the steel would damage the rolls
It would be very labor intensive as multiple passes would be requiredIs it possible to roll a corrugated sheet of metal, back to its original flat state?
you wouldnt get it very flat, but i suppose its an option. It isnt a very attractive material at the best of times though, as it tends to be galvanized rather badly.
You will need heat and pressure. Roll the metal while it's hot through a press and you could get it back to a flat state. I don't think it will retain it's original strength and that could be an issue.
Of course.
