Rolling schematic view Rolling visualization. In metalworking, rolling is a metal forming process in which metal stock is passed through one or more pairs of rolls to reduce the thickness, to make the thickness uniform, and/or to impart a desired mechanical property.
The effects of the process on the material's properties are minimal. [clarification needed] The physical and chemical properties virtually don't change, but the process may cause work-hardening, micro-cracks, or thinning at bends when discussing the mechanical properties of the material. The cost of roll forming is relatively low.
A typical industrial roll-to-roll process line. In the field of electronic devices, roll-to-roll processing, also known as web processing, [1] reel-to-reel processing or R2R, [2] is the process of creating electronic devices on a roll of flexible plastic, metal foil, or flexible glass. [3]
Roll bonding is a solid state, cold welding process, obtained through flat rolling of sheet metals. In roll bonding, two or more layers of different metals are passed through a pair of flat rollers under sufficient pressure to bond the layers. The pressure is high enough to deform the metals and reduce the combined thickness of the clad material.

Cross-sections of continuously rolled structural shapes, showing the change induced by each rolling mill. Structural shape rolling, also known as shape rolling and profile rolling, [1] is the rolling and roll forming of structural shapes by passing them through a rolling mill to bend or deform the workpiece to a desired shape while maintaining a constant cross-section.
Roll bender machine. A roll bender is a mechanical jig having three rollers used to bend a metal bar into a circular arc. The rollers freely rotate about three parallel axes, which are arranged with uniform horizontal spacing.
The Z-Mill or Sendzimir Mill is a machine for rolling steels. [1] [2] Unlike a traditional rolling mill this 20-high cluster mill configuration utilizes cascaded supporting rolls to apply force on the small work rolls in the center. This allows the application of a higher roll pressure without bending the work rolls, which would result in poor ...
