The document discusses various topics related to rolling mills and rolling processes. It defines a rolling mill as consisting of at least two cylindrical rolls used to shape or form metal. It describes different types of mill passes based on shape (definite, intermediate) and roll adjustment (open, closed). It provides formulas to calculate parameters for each pass like roll groove dimensions, roll gap, filled width, area reduction, and bite angle. It discusses concepts like number of passes required, spread calculation, and provides thumb rules and flow charts for roll pass design.
