Hot or cold plastic deformation of a material produced by a rolling mill.

type of shaping process that involves ingots being passed in between a set of rollers spinning in the opposite directions resulting in thinner, expanded sheets of metal

The process of squeezing aluminum between two rollers to create flat plate, sheet or foil ( http://www.rollformedparts.com).

A mechanical process which reduces the thickness of material by compressing - it through continuously revolving rolls. The thickness is determined by the number of passes it is given through the rolling mill.

The process of shaping metal by passing it between rolls revolving at the same peripheral speed and in opposite directions. In steel there are a number of different types of rolling mill for processing the ingot to its finished shape. These are variously known as Cogging mills, Slabbing mills, Billet mills, Bar mills and Strip mills, which produce plate, sections, bars, sheet and strip. Cold rolling of previously hot rolled strip is carried out to produce strip that is accurate to size and with a smooth bright polished surface.

The act of squeezing between two rollers to form a flat plate, sheet or foil section. Rolling is often first done "hot" to reduce thickness of the cast section in as few passes as possible. "Cold" rolling provide strength benefits as well as being used to achieve final dimensional tolerances.

A term applied to the operation of shaping and reducing metal in thickness by passing it between rolls which compress, shape and lengthen it following the roll pattern.

Rolling is a fabricating process in which the metal, plastic, paper, glass, etc. is passed through a pair of rolls. There are two types of rolling process, flat and profile rolling. In flat rolling the final shape of the product is either classed as sheet (typically thickness less than 3 mm, also called "strip") or plate (typically thickness more than 3 mm).

The side-to-side (athwartship) motion of a vessel.

An activity which llamas engage in regularly. Llamas lay on their side and roll half-way or completely over several times. It is a way of keeping their fiber open enough to create air pockets for insulation. More about rolling.

A yacht hull's sideways movement about the fore-and-aft axis.

Rolling is a combination of rotation (of a more or less cylindrically or spherically symmetric object) and translation of that object with respect to a surface (either one or the other moves), such that the two are in contact with each other without sliding. This is achieved by a rotational speed at the cylinder or circle of contact which is equal to the translational speed. Rolling of a round object typically requires less energy than sliding, therefore such an object will more easily move, if it experiences a force with a component along the surface, for instance gravity on a tilted surface; wind; pushing; pulling; an engine.
