Aluminum extrusion rolling machine

(998 products available)

About aluminum extrusion rolling machine

A metal rolling mill machine is used to reduce the thickness of metal. This commercial machinery is an excellent purchase as it reduces metal waste and, in some cases - such as when using metal fabrication machinery -, can even emboss the metal with stylish patterns. There are many different types of rolling mills that can be used to achieve different applications. Some examples breakdown the metal by rolling it into straight lengths or coil to coil. Find wholesale metal rolling mills, including aluminum extrusion machines and aluminum extrusion and sheet metal fabrication equipment on Alibaba.com.

How does a rolling machine work?

A metal rolling mill has at least two sets of rollers, which grip the metal and drive it through an opening that is smaller than the thickness of the metal. This is done to flatten the metal to the customer's desired thickness and maintain full uniformity across the item.

What types of metal rolling exist?

Metal extrusion machines can function with two different types of rolling, depending on the type of metal and the end product needed. For a project that requires a strong end product, cold rolling is the better option. Working by bending and flattening the metal at a temperature below its recrystallization temperature, cold rolling is able to increase strain hardening by 20%. This method is better for small and strong products, such as metal bars. Hot rolling, on the other hand, is the process used when the temperature of the metal being flattened is above its recrystallization temperature. Hot rolling is used for simple projects, such as large sheet metals, metal panels, and more. Hot rolling is the better option for mass-scale metal flattening, as it is able to reduce the thickness of a metal much faster that cold rolling.

Is there a market for rolling mill metal extrusion machines?

There are many businesses that require metal molding and extrusion machines, including manufacturing plants, construction sites, energy and mining companies, metal workshops, and many more industries. By 2025, the market size for rolling mill and other metal processing machinery is expected to reach 38.27 billion U.S. dollars, with a compound annual growth rate of 7%.

Metal rolling mills can be bought from wholesalers on Alibaba.com for as little as $880.00. Make the most of this growing market and visit Alibaba.com today.
