Take a Closer Look at How Metal Roll Forming Happens

Metal Roll Forming uses fixed rollers that guide metal strips through to make the needed changes. It bends the materials a little bit more at each subsequent set of rolls. This method will bend the metal. Metal roll forming guarantees it has achieved the desired cross-sectional shape. These machines can operate 30 to 100 feet per minute. This allows for faster production speeds, better consistency, and repeatability. It also allows for greater versatility. We offer two different roll operations – a hot roll operation and a cold roll operation.

What is the Difference Between Hot Roll Forming
and Cold Roll Forming?

Roll forming operations depend on the temperature of the room. It can also depend on if we are performing roll forming at a temperature that is much higher. Here is a closer look at hot roll forming and cold roll forming:
Cold roll forming generally involves us making metal materials at, or a little bit above room temperature. While it does not require more specialized equipment, it does require more passes to get the desired shape. It does take more time to complete the desired result, but it does build a higher quality product. The metals also tend to be stronger than hot rolled.
Hot roll forming generally involves making products at a very high temperature. Steel mills and large-scale service centers normally use this process. It creates structural materials, including those in which construction crews use to help strengthen buildings. Hot roll forming is more limited in application because it has a higher investment cost. It also requires greater operator skillsets, and small equipment capacities.
