Rolling Mill:

Rolling is the final process of steel-making, in which metal stock is passed through one or more pairs of rolls to reduce the thickness and to make the thickness uniform. The concept is similar to the rolling of dough. Rolling is classified according to the temperature of the metal rolled. If the temperature of the metal is above its re-crystallization temperature, then the process is known as hot rolling. If the temperature of the metal is below its re-crystallization temperature, the process is known as cold rolling. In terms of usage, hot rolling processes more tonnage than any other manufacturing process, and cold rolling processes the most tonnage out of all cold working processes. Most steel mills have rolling mill divisions that convert the semi-finished casting products into finished products.
