Abstract
The most common method and apparatus for embossing of sheet metal (whole cross and longitudinal) is using a roll mill and roll forming machine producing profile shape along the length of sheet. This proposed invention presents a new "UNIQUE" metal sheet made from two separate sheets that are pressed and punched (embossed and/ or coined) together (cold welding procedure) to make a single sheet .The embossing shape is not profile type and can be produced in longitude and cross pattern. Also these two sheets can be made of different materials to obtain the desired characteristics of each metal sheet . These sheets can be used in wall ,roof or deck panels and other areas that metal sheets metal are used.

For embossing all of them produce a single sheet and most of
-2-them use roll mill and roll forming machines for embossing. For composite sheets, they use adhesives to attach sheets.
Use of a roll mill machine for embossing or coining has limits of shape and depth, and cannot provide patterns, and the dies are very expensive. Also a roll forming machine can just can create longitudinal profile .For composite sheet metals, using an adhesive for attachment makes the product expensive ,and also these methods haven't too much affect on the mechanical features of the final product.
This invention overcomes some of these limitations, and introduces a new kind of metal sheet that is made of two separate metal sheets that are attached together physically.
DESCRIPTION.
The main section of this invention, is that it produces a "UNIQUE(single) metal sheet by pressing (embossing and coining) two separate metal sheets together. The basis of this invention, is contact or cold welding, where the force of adhesion following first contact can be augmented by pressing (embossing and coining) two metal sheets tightly together (at the embossing or coining zone).
When two surfaces are pressed together metal to metal contact occurs. The interface between the sheets transfers the tensile strain while the two sheet are under pressure and this permits two sheet contact during the deforming ,and the sheets are bonded together fig(1-a) and fig(1-b). By repeating this process at each embosses or coin deformation, and spreading these-3-deformations in the entire surface, a very large force for keeping the two sheet together is created. Finally we have a single sheet from two separate sheets that attached together physically. The final product with this method is several times stronger, more rigid, and much better appearance than traditional methods. With this method rigidity and strength are increased in two ways:
1- embossing (and or coining) 2-combination of two sheets Each of the above methods increases the rigidity and strength separately and when these methods are combined, these advantages multiply. This method one allows to decrease the thickness of sheet metal and consequently decrease the weight of materials.
For example, in wall and roof panels ,where rigidity and strength are important, the sheet metal has to be at least 1mm thick. With this method we can use two sheets with thickness0.3mm each and a final have sheet of 0.6mm ,which is stronger than the sheet single of lmm.
This point is going to be very important when the volume of sheet metals in some cases is huge or in some places where weight is an important factor, like a roof, ceiling ,wall or deck panels.
Another option that can be used with this method is to produce a "UNIQUE"
sheet metal from two different materials for attaining the best combination of the advantages of each two sheets. With this method, one sheet metal is base and another sheet is outer layer. The base usually is strong and inexpensive steel. The outer layer can be any kind of metal such as aluminum, copper or stainless steel. The base is thicker and the outer layer is thinner. The product is a Unique(single) product with good strength and rigidity, less cost, and better appearance, corrosion resistance, and heat reflection .
This product is not expensive compared to a single sheet (such as aluminum, copper or stainless) with the same strength and rigidity. As an example, aluminum or stainless steel have very good resistance against corrosion ,but aluminum is expensive and very light and usually soft whereas stainless steel is expensive and hard to work. But the combination of a thin layer of each one of them, the final product will give the same features ,without the disadvantages of each.
Comparison Unique sheet with regular metal panel One of the most intensive uses of sheet metal is as metal panels. The "unique"
sheet can be used as a metal panel too. At fig (2) I show some examples of Unique and embossed sheet metal. This kind of sheet metal in comparison with regular wall, roof and deck panels ,has better characters :
1-Material :
To produce this panel we need less material in two ways:
a)As explained with "unique "sheet method we can use thinner sheets metal with more strength.
b) In regular type panels, the sheet is made by roll mill and roll forming machines (bending work),then cover surfaces are decreased(depend on profile of panel up to 25%
the surface cover is going to be less than the original plain sheet).But with this method the sheet is embossed (stretching)and, consequently the covering surface is not considerably different than the original sheet Fig(3).
2-Heat Transfer: Heat transfer is a very important factor in any building.
This panel has better performance regarding heat transfer in comparison with regular panels.
a) this kind of sheet metal has less surface, consequently heat transfer (both conductive and radiant) is less.
b)Because of no longitude profile shape, the embodiment surface with this method is an obstacle against surface flow. As shown in fig (5) embossed deformation can produce zones like (A) in fig( 5 ) and also with changing surface flow direction towards out of surface (B).
With simulations we can create a special form with the best performance in heat transfer for surface flow.
c) With the "UNIQUE "method of two sheets combined, we can use a metal such as aluminum or stainless steel as an outer layer ,that has good ability to reflect.
d) With the "UNIQUE "method, using a perforated sheet metal as a base with a thin layer of any kind of sheet metal as a outer layer, with filling inside (between the holes of perforated sheet) using different kinds of insulation material, can give a panel with added insulation. It is ideal for use as an exterior panel (wall, siding or roof).
Use of a roll mill machine for embossing or coining has limits of shape and depth, and cannot provide patterns, and the dies are very expensive. Also a roll forming machine can just can create longitudinal profile .For composite sheet metals, using an adhesive for attachment makes the product expensive ,and also these methods haven't too much affect on the mechanical features of the final product.

It is ideal for use as an exterior panel (wall, siding or roof).
3- Shape and form: A regular panel can only produce profile shape lengthwise and this has limitations in shape , form and pattern, but the proposed method is more flexible in shape ,form and pattern. This helps to make shapes with better features for strengthening ,more resistance against buckling and better performance for heat transfer. It helps the panels to be used for more decorative purposes and architectural designs.
4-Better assembly: The regular panels can just be used in one direction, because the longitude profile shape for assembling together needs special trims. But with this kind of sheet metal, four sides or any places of the sheet can be plain(with any size that is needed)fig(4). This helps to make multiple shapes for better sealing and by assembly. This kind sheet can be used in any directions. Also by changing the arrangement of pattern shape with any angle (straggle), it can be used for non-squared surfaces more easily.
Description of apparatus:
For producing the "Unique" metal sheet, depending on size and thickness of the sheet we can use any press machine . But for producing this kind of sheet in unlimited length sizes (with width up to 48), the following apparatus ( schematic is shown in fig(6)) is suggested .This apparatus is comprised two of coil openers (6-1), a cleaning unit (6-2), a dryer unit (6-3), a feeding system (6-4), a heating unit (6-5), a press unit (6-6), coining rollers (6-7), (6-8) and a cutting unit (6-9). After the sheets are opened from a coil, they pass through the cleaning unit. At this stage rust-7-' ,grease and another contaminates are removed from the surfaces that will be connected together. Then the sheets pass through the dryer system. The feeding unit then feeds the sheets in the desired length to the press machine.
Before pressing, they pass through a heating unit. The preheating gives better forming and cold welding performance. In the press machine two separate sheets are punched (embossed and coined) together. After this step the new sheet passes through two rollers for coining the longitudinal edges(6-8) and another roller is for coining the cross edges (6-9) (section A-A in fig (4)). The Cutting unit then cuts the sheet into the desired size.
Also this machine can be used for producing a single sheet with embossing form. (Some of the examples are shown in fig(2)and fig(4) ).
