COLD ROLLING

Cold-rolling changes the structure and shape of steel through rolling and applying pressure at a low temperature. At Worthington Steel, we have a three-stand tandem mill, a reversing mill, and various one-pass mills, which primarily reduce gauge and add value by means of edging and controlling flatness.

This process and equipment change the mechanical properties of the steel, producing certain useful characteristic combinations*, including (but not limited to):

• Ductility
• Hardness
• Stiffness
• Strength
