Like cold-forging, rolling is a metal forming process.
At Ugigrip-Vallgrip, rolling is mainly used to produce threads, knurling, grooves, etc., from a headed blank
It takes place in a second stage, after the cold-forging operation that gives the part its basic shape. This process deforms the part by pressure between two dies to obtain the final shape, according to predefined machine settings.
To provide production finishes, several options are available, such as coating (zinc plating) or heat treatment.
Important
What should you pay attention to?
It is essential to always consider the volume of the blank in order to anticipate the deformation created during the rolling process.
Why ? Because the part will elongate during deformation, so it is necessary to have sufficient material to produce the final component.
