Heres a presentation on Cold Rolled Sheets, a very minimalistic representation of the enormous manufacturing process, for better understanding. A detailed study of its applications and benifits over hot rolled sheets. Most apt for interior designers.

6. Roll forming, roll bending or plate rolling is a continuous bending operation:
strip of metal (typically coiled steel) is passed through consecutive sets of
rolls,or stands until the desired cross-section profile is obtained. Roll forming
is ideal for producing parts with long lengths or in large quantities.
Roll Forming
Flat Rolling
Flat rolling is the most basic form of rolling with the starting and ending
material having a rectangular cross-section. The material is fed in between
two rollers, called working rolls, that rotate in opposite directions.The friction at
the interface between the material and the rolls causes the material to be
pushed through.
7. Forge rolling
Forge rolling is a longitudinal rolling process to reduce the cross-
sectional area of heated bars or billets by leading them between
two contrary rotating roll segments.
Characteristic of Forge Rolling:
• high productivity and high material utilization
• good surface quality of forge-rolled workpieces
• extended tool life-time
• small tools and low tool costs
• improved mechanical properties due to optimized grain flow
compared to exclusively die forged workpieces
8. Ring rolling
Ring rolling is a specialized type of hot rolling
that increases the diameter of a ring. The starting material is
a thick-walled ring. As the rolling occurs the wall thickness
decreases as the diameter increases.
Controlled rolling
Controlled rolling is a type of thermomechanical
processing which integrates controlled deformation and heat
treating.
