Roll Forming Handbook

Over 35 percent of all light gauge steel produced in North America is processed through roll forming lines, and nearly all ductile sheet metals with a thickness between .004” and .75” can also be roll formed. The Roll Forming Handbook is the first comprehensive guide to all aspects of the roll forming process, from conception to practical know-how. Under the guidance of George Halmos, expert contributors share insights based on many years of experience and provide information on roll forming mills, uncoilers, presses, die accelerators, and other equipment. Supplementing this information are discussions on roll design, setup, troubleshooting, materials to be formed, and lubrication.
