Rolling Processes
Rolling processes are manufacturing techniques used to shape and reduce the thickness of materials, typically metals, by passing them through a pair of rollers. This method can produce sheets, plates, or strips and is commonly employed in industries such as automotive and construction. The process can be hot or cold, depending on the temperature of the material being rolled.
During rolling, the material is deformed under pressure, which enhances its mechanical properties, such as strength and ductility. The equipment used in rolling processes includes rolling mills, which can be configured in various ways, such as two-high, three-high, or four-high setups, depending on the desired output and material characteristics.
