What do you mean by "Rolling" of Metals?


 Rolling

The heavy rollers, rotating in opposite directions, compress the input material to a smaller thickness and larger width. The object to be flattened by rolling process may go through number of rollers to achieve the needed thickness. 


              
Rolling can be hot rolling or cold rolling depending upon the need. Cold rolled object have smooth surfaces. All the sheets are normally rolled. Flats and strips may also be produced by rolling process.
