It generates large sheets of superior surface finish and desirable product surface area and therefore is useful for mass production of properties. These thickness reductions are achieved through flat as well as shaped steel products. Roll bite of the mill is multi-pass rolling in a reversing mill or tandem mill. Apart lubricated using specialty rolling oil to control friction and from such mills, a cold rolling mill complex may include wear and thereby to reduce roll force, power and other facilities for pre- and post-rolling operations (Fig.1). consumption of rolls.
