Rolling is the process of reducing the thickness or changing the cross-section of a long work-piece by compressive forces applied through a set of rolls. Rolling accounts for about 90% of all metals produced by metalworking processes. The purpose of Rolling is to convert larger sections into smaller sections, which can be used directly in as rolled state or as stock for working through other processes. As a result of rolling, the coarse structure of cast ingot is converted into a fine grained structure.
