Cold rolling is a metalworking process that involves the deformation of metals at room temperature. This technique enhances the mechanical properties of metal sheets, including strength, hardness, and surface finish. Unlike hot rolling, which is conducted at high temperatures, cold rolling minimizes the risk of oxidation and enables better dimensional control. The cold rolling forming machine combines this process with a shaping mechanism that prepares metal for various applications.
The Rise of Line Pipe Manufacturers Serving a Critical Industry
As the metal passes through the rollers, the 4% reduction creates a smooth, refined surface finish. The skin pass also improves the material's yield strength and ductility, making it more suitable for subsequent forming processes.
- Reduction in Waste By achieving the desired shape more effectively, manufacturers can minimize material waste, leading to cost savings.
