      Alligatoring is the defect, usually occurs in the rolling of slabs (particularly aluminum and alloys). In this defect, the work piece splits along a horizontal plane on exit, with the top and bottom. This defect always occurs when the ratio of slab thickness to the length of contact fall within the range of 1.4 to 1.65.

        Some peripheral lines related to this topic:

        • Alligatoring is the accidental splitting of a piece of sheet metal to form two open ends. It gets its name from the metal resembling the mouth of an alligator.
        • Usually, this is a result of the machinery pressing down too hard that the metal reacts in a strange way, as if the metal was crushed or steamrolled.
        • Alligatoring is considered a production defect that can lead to flaws in appearance, performance, and stability.
