The following are potential causes of Oil Canning:
- A.
Residual stress during coil production can contribute to camber, the deviation of a side edge from a straight line. This longitudinal curving will place additional stress on metal as it is pulled through a roll-forming machine, which attempts to form a straight edge on the panel.
- B.
Slitting a master coil can release and redistribute stresses, especially if the slitter blades are out of adjustment or dull.
- C.
Roll-forming equipment can cause oil canning. As metal is run through rolling stations, it is placed under stress and can stretch, particularly if the equipment is out of adjustment or operated beyond its limitations.
- D.
All of the options are causes.
Correct Answer
D. All of the options are causes.Explanation
