Forming
Rolling is a forming process
which reduces the cross-sectional area of
the incoming metal stock or produces a new
cross-section of the material at the exit
while improving its mechanical properties
through the use of rotating rolls.
The process can be carried
out hot, warm, or cold, depending on the
application and the material involved. Rolling
of blooms, slabs, billets, plates is usually
done at temperatures above the recrystallization
temperature (hot rolling). Sheet and strip
often are rolled cold in order to maintain
close thickness tolerances.
Specific Processes-
- Flat Rolling
- Thread Rolling
- Seamless Tubing
- Continuous Casting and Rolling
