Roll bending The roll bending process can make metal cylinders or circles, and while these cylinders or circles are made with a sets roller, that process is not called roll forming.Although the roll bending deformation is limited to a local… Read More »Roll Forming and Roll Bending: Differences, Pros, Cons
Sheet vs. Plate To determine the designation of sheet vs. plate in general terms we can say that anything 1/8″ and thicker is a plate and anything less than 1/8″ is a sheet. The thickness of sheet metal is normally… Read More »Sheet Rolling vs Plate Roll Bending Process, Which One Do You Need?
Press braking and roll forming are both types of metal bending and forming, but though they both fall under the same basic process type, they have little else in common. While both are important, each has distinct advantages and disadvantages,… Read More »Top 5 Differences Between Roll Forming and Press Braking
old roll forming is a kind of cold bending processing, it is an efficient, effective shaping that delivers tight tolerances on complex profiles. It is the process of gradually bending a flat strip or coil of metal into a longitudinal, uniform profile. To get the desired shape, the operator passes the workpieces through a series of mated tool dies.
Cold roll forming is a cold forming process that doesn’t require heating up the metal. High-temperature, specialized equipment isn’t necessary to produce cold rolled shapes.
