Cold rolling is a cold metal forming process by which the sheet metal or strip stock is introduced between rollers and then compressed and squeezed into the desired shape. The amount of strain introduced determines the hardness and other material properties of the finished product.
The advantages of cold rolling are good dimensional accuracy and surface finish.
Cold rolled sheet can be produced in various conditions such as skin-rolled, quarter hard, half hard, full hard depending on how much cold work has been performed. This cold working (hardness) is often called temper, although this has nothing to do with heat treatment temper.
Another form of cold rolling can be used to cold form pins and dowels. In this process a strip of metal is rolled into a tubular shape.
