Definition
Rolling is a process used to change the geometry of the produced material. Usually the cross section is reduced, and, as a result, the length increases.
Theory and Application
Rolling
The majority of all metals will undergo a rolling process during the production chain from metal casting to the final product, e.g., strips, blanks, profiles, etc. The respective rolling processes may be used to define the product geometry, material properties, or functional surface properties.
The main goals of flat rolling processes are the reduction of the cross section accompanied by the enlargement of the rolling stock length and the defined adjustment of material properties (e.g., yield strength or surface property) (Groover and Tonkay 2007).
A variety of rolling processes exists that lead to different final geometries and material properties. A brief overview of the most important rolling...
