Cold roll forming involves a set of rollers that gradually shape the metal to what ever shape or thickness is required. It is a common process and is used in many industries such as making panels for cars or other automobiles, industrial sheds, and also storage racks.

What is meant by pilgering?

Pilgering is a metal-working process for reducing the dimensions of a metal tube. The two key components of a pilgering press (or mill) are a conical mandrel, which fits inside the tube, and ring dies which roll over the outside of the tube. This process reduces the diameter of the tube to the size of the mandrel and, at the same time, reduces the wall thickness of the tube from the action of the dies rolling over the outside of the tube along the mandrel. Pilgering is usually performed cold, i.e., the metal does not need to be heat-treated for the process to be accomplished, and it takes a very great number of tiny forming steps. This makes it highly suitable to use on precious metals, since almost no metal is lost in the process. This also is a superior metal-forming process to drawing, since it can reduce the diameter of a tube to a greater degree than drawing while the tube still remains round and retains greater tensile strength against forces such as torque and stress fracturing. Cold pilgered tubes are used for such things as lightning rods, baseball bats and golf clubs, which can survive repeated sudden large-force impacts.


Which steel is expensive hot rolled or cold rolled?

It takes much more energy to roll a sheet of metal in cold rolling than it does for hot rolling. Heating up a sheet of metal makes the material more malleable, so when it is rolled between two rollers, it can form into a flat sheet much easier. A cold sheet of metal that is not heated up will be put through the rollers and have a higher amount of energy needed to push it through. Though there is less heating required, this is balanced out by the fact that it must be pushed through with more energy.The cold rolling process is an expensive one, especially compared to the process of hot rolling sheet metal. For example, since cold rolling requires that workers frequently clean parts like the rollers, cold rolling has extra costs for any supplies needed to clean the parts, downtime while the parts are being cleaned and labor costs for the worker who does the cleaning. Also, the additional energy needed in the cold rolling process adds cost to the final product. call me if u need more: 0784971498

What is roll forming?

Roll forming is a manufacturing process that uses rollers to "make something" by pressing and rolling it. Steel is formed in rolling mills to make the raw material (sheet steel) to form automobile body panels with. (They're stamped.) Aluminum foil is formed in a rolling mill. So are lots of other materials.ORRoll forming is a continuous metal forming process where in the flat metal coil strip is passed between successive pairs of rollers i,e Top/Bottom or even side rollers in order to get the desired cross section.
