What Is Roll Forming?

Posted by admin - March 26, 2022 - Metal Forming

Roll forming is a process that people have questions about. They want to know what it is, how it works and what value it can provide to them. Here at Metal Pro Inc., we get those types of questions all the time. 

What Is Roll Forming? 

This is a process used to create the specific shapes and designs that one is looking for out of the metal that they have available in their shop. In other words, roll forming (or metal forming) is a continuous process of shaping coiled or sheet metal into a form or shape that is desired. 

Roll sheets are used in pairs to roll across the metal until they reach the cross-section that one is going for. The rollers continue to go over the metal repeatedly until the appropriate shape is formed. 

Why Should One Use Roll Forming? 

Many companies prefer to use roll forming over some other methods of getting their metal formed because it requires less active labor than other ways of doing things. This is important given the fact that the labor of human beings doing this work can get quite expensive when there are huge crews of people working on the project. You likely don’t want to pay out more people than absolutely necessary to form your metals and get the final results that you need out of a project like this. Thus, roll forming is the preferred method of getting work done compared to something like stamping or piercing and punching. 

What Types of Materials Can Be Used in This Process?

Many materials may be used in this process that go beyond just simple metal. There are also uses for: 

  • Brass
  • Aluminum
  • Steel 
  • Copper
  • Tin Alloys 
  • Titanium
  • And more

Companies often have to work at forming different types of materials into the exact shapes and sizes that they need, and it is not always easy to pull this off. Fortunately, they can get a lot done by using roll forming to make the exact shapes that they need from the raw materials that they use. There is a beauty to getting work done when it seemed impossible at the start, and that is what this process can make happen.
