| '''Roll forming''', also spelled '''rollforming''', is a continuous bending operation in which a long strip of [[sheet metal]] (typically coiled [[steel]]) is passed through sets of rolls mounted on consecutive stands, each set performing only an incremental part of the bend, until the desired cross-section profile is obtained. Roll forming is ideal for producing constant-profile parts with long lengths and in large quantities.

| [[File:Flower Pattern.jpg|thumb|Flower pattern]]A variety of cross-section profiles can be produced, but each profile requires a carefully crafted set of roll tools. Design of the rolls starts with a '''flower pattern''', which is the sequence of profile cross-sections, one profile for each stand of rolls. The roll contours are then derived from the flower pattern profiles. Because of the high cost of the roll sets, [[Finite element analysis|computer simulation]] is often used to develop or validate the roll designs and optimize the forming process to minimize the number of stands and material stresses in the final product. | |
| | |
| Roll formed sections may have advantages over extrusions of a similar shapes. Roll formed parts may be much lighter, with thinner walls possible than in the extrusion process, and stronger, having been work hardened in a cold state. Parts can be made having a finish or already painted. In addition, the roll forming process is more rapid and takes less energy than extrusion.
| |
| | |
| Roll forming machines are available that produce shapes of different sizes and material thicknesses using the same rolls. Variations in size are achieved by making the distances between the rolls variable by manual adjustment or computerized controls, allowing for rapid changeover. These specialized mills are prevalent in the [[Steel_frame#Light_steel_framing|light gauge framing]] industry where metal studs and tracks of standardized profiles and thicknesses are used. For example a single mill may be able to produce metal studs of different web (e.g. 3-5/8" to 14"), flange (e.g. 1-3/8" to 2-1/2") and lip (e.g. 3/8" to 5/8") dimensions, from different gauges (e.g. 20 to 12 GA) of galvanized steel sheet.

| | |
| Roll forming lines can be set up with multiple configurations to punch and cut off parts in a continuous operation. For cutting a part to length, the lines can be set up to use a pre-cut die where a single blank runs through the roll mill, or a post-cut die where the profile is cutoff after the roll forming process. Features may be added in a hole, notch, embossment, or shear form by punching in a roll forming line. These part features can be done in a pre-punch application (before roll forming starts), in a mid-line punching application (in the middle of a roll forming line/process) or a post punching application (after roll forming is done). Some roll forming lines incorporate only one of the above punch or cutoff applications, others incorporate some or all of the applications in one line.

| | |
| ===Process===
| |
| The process of roll forming is one of the simpler manufacturing processes. It typically begins with a large coil of sheet metal, between 1 in. and 20in. in width, and 0.004 in. and 0.125 in. thick, supported on an uncoiler. The strip is fed through an entry guide to properly align the material as it passes through the rolls of the mill, each set of rolls forming a bend until the material reaches its desired shape. Roll sets are typically mounted one over the other on a pair of horizontal parallel shafts supported by a stand(s). Side rolls and cluster rolls may also be used to provide greater precision and flexibility and to limit stresses on the material. The shaped strips can be cut to length ahead of a roll forming mill, between mills, or at the end of the roll forming line.
| |
| | |
| ===Geometric Possibilities===
| |
| The geometric possibilities can be very broad and even include enclosed shapes so long as it is the same cross-section throughout. Typical sheeting thicknesses range from 0.004in. to 0.125in., but they can exceed that. Length is almost unaffected by the rolling process. The part widths typically aren't smaller than 1in. however they can exceed 20in. The primary limitation is profile depth, which is generally limited to less than 4in and rarely larger than 6in due to roll-imparted stresses and surface speed differentials that increase with depth.
| |
| *Tolerances can typically be held within ±0.015in. for the width of the cross-sectional form, and ±0.060in. for its depth.<ref name="Todd">Manufacturing Processes Reference Guide, Industrial Press Inc., 1994.</ref>
| |
| | |
| ===Production Rates===
| |
| The production rate depends greatly on the material thickness and the bend radius, it is also affected by the number of stations or steps required. For bend radii of 50 times the material thickness of a low carbon steel .07 in thick can range from 85 feet per minute through eight stations to 55 feet per minute through 12 stations or 50 feet per minute through 22 stations.<br />
| |
| The time taken for one product to take shape can be represented by a simple function. The function is as follows: <math>Forming time = [L+n(d)]/V</math> where V is the velocity of strip through rolls (fpm), L is the length of the piece being rolled (ft), d is the distance between forming stands (ft), and n is the number of forming stands.<ref name="Todd"/>
| |
| | |
| In general roll forming lines can run from 5 feet per minute to 500 + depending on the application. In some cases the limiting factor is the punching or cutoff applications.
| |
| | |
| ===Other Considerations===
| |
| While dealing with manufacturing, there are always things to be considered such as lubrication, the effect of the process on material properties, cost, and of course safety. <br />Lubrication provides an essential barrier between the roll dies and the workpiece surface. They help to reduce the tool wear, and allow things to move along faster. This table shows the different kinds of lubricants, their application, and the ideal metals to use them on.

| <br />The effects of the process on the material's properties for this process are minimal. The physical and chemical properties virtually have no change. But the process may cause workhardening, microcracks, or thinning at bends when discussing the mechanical properties of the material.<br />The cost of roll forming is relatively low. Some things to be considered when calculating the cost of the process are setup time, equipment and tool costs, load/unload time, direct labor rate, overhead rate, and the amortization of equipment and tooling.<br />Safety is also a bit of an issue with this process. The main hazards that need to be taken into consideration are dealing with moving workpieces (up to 800 fpm), high pressure rolls, or sharp, sheared metal edges.<ref name="Todd"/>
