A review of contemporary solutions for cold rolling that allow quality improvement

Purpose: of this paper is a literature review on cold rolling of products with tight dimensional tolerances. Design/methodology/approach: In this paper a review on methods of quality improvement of cold rolled products was performed. Main groups of analysed factors, influencing high quality of rolled products are: rolling equipment, rolling technology, used tools. Findings: As a result of literature review it is concluded that the most important element involved in the manufacturing process and having an influence on the obtained dimensional tolerances is the roll. Research limitations/implications: Practical implications: Originality/value: As a result of carried out review it seems that control of the roll deflection is the simplest and most effective way to improve the shape and thus quality of cold rolled products.
