Forming method, whereby rolling at high temperatures allows for a great reduction of thickness, meaning, for example, that the slab can be formed into a thin hot-rolled strip.
Diminishing the thickness of metal by softening it at high temperatures, then running it through pressure rollers.
Forming method. Rolling at high temperatures permits large thickness reductions, allowing the forming of slabs into thin strip.
The metallurgical process of Hot rolling, used mainly to produce sheet metal or simple cross sections from billets describes the method of when industrial metal is passed or deformed between a set of work rolls and the temperature of the metal is generally above its recrystallization temperature, as opposed to cold rolling, which takes place below this temperature. This permits large deformations of the metal to be achieved with a low number of rolling cycles.
