rolling
Rolling means a metalworking operation where metal passes through rollers to decrease its thickness and achieve specified dimensions. Primarily, rolling is used for the production of sheets, strips, and structural shapes. This aids in improving the surface finish and mechanical properties of the workpiece.

Key Features:

  • Thickness Reductions: Metal thickness will be uniformly decreased by compressing it between the two rotating rollers.
  • Hot and Cold Rolling: Depending on product requirements, rolling may either be performed at elevated temperatures (hot rolling) or at room temperature (cold rolling).
  • Surface Enhancement: The process improves surface finish, grain structure, and mechanical strength. 

The essence of Rolling is to manufacture metal products with defined dimensions, good strength, and smooth surfaces. Examples of industries that use rolling processes include construction, automotive, and manufacturing. The combination of recent advances in rolling gauges and automated processes has prompted higher productivity and quality well into metalworking.
