1. The document discusses defects that can occur during the metal rolling process, including surface defects and internal structural defects.
2. Surface defects are caused by impurities or inclusions on the metal surface, while structural defects include edge cracks, alligator cracks, wavy edges, and more.
3. Many rolling defects result from uneven heating, rolling, quenching, stress during the rolling process, non-uniform material flow, and imperfections in starting materials or rolls. Remedies include trimming edges, cambered rolls, and controlling roll deflection.
