cold rolling definition

cold rolling

Metal forming process in which the shape and structure of steel is altered through drawing, extruding, hammering, pressing, rolling, spinning, and/or stretching at temperatures below the steel's recrystalization point (usually room temperature). These operations cause changes in the metal's composition which permanently increase its hardness and tensile strength, and enhance surface finish, but decrease ductility and impact resistance.

cold rolling is in the Industries, Manufacturing, & Technology subject.
