| Hot rolling | Hot rolling is a metallurgical process in which the metal is passed through a pair of rolls and the temperature of the metal is above its recrystallization temperature, as opposed to cold rolling, which takes place below it. This permits large deformations to be achieved with a low number of rolling cycles. Because the metal is worked before crystal structures have formed, this process does not itself affect its microstructural properties. Hot rolling is mainly used to produce sheet metal, or simple cross sections from billets. (references) | ||
