Roll Forming Services Specifications

Additional Services Offered


	Rolling Services
	Your choices are...
	Cold Rolling		Cold rolling reduces the gauge and forms metal by forcing it through a series of rolls at temperatures below the softening point of the metal to create strain, or work-hardening. The cold rolling process changes the mechanical properties of the metal, producing various combinations of hardness, strength, stiffness, ductility and other characteristics.
	Hot Rolling		Hot rolling reduces the gauge and forms metal by forcing it through a series of rolls at temperatures high enough above the softening point of the metal not to create strain hardening. Hot rolled steel is characterized by a rough, scaly surface.
	Temper Rolling		In temper rolling, the metal sheet or strip is subjected to a slight amount of cold rolling after annealing (usually ½ to 1 ½ %) to prevent stretcher strains. Temper rolling is also referred to as skin rolled or pinch pass.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

	Additional Manufacturing Services
	Your choices are...
	Annealing		Annealing is a heating and cooling operation, usually with a slow cooling cycle. Annealing may be used to remove stresses, induce softness, and alter ductility, toughness, electrical, magnetic, or other properties.
	Bending / Curving		Bending is one of the most common forming operations. It can be used to create flanges, seams, corrugations, and other shapes. Bending is typically applied after the roll forming process.
	Corrugating		Corrugating is the process of forming a sheet metal into a series of straight, parallel alternate ridges and grooves. Corrugating increases a material's strength to weight ratio up to 30% over original sheet.
	Cut to Length		Supplier can cut roll formed material to customer specified lengths.
	Embossing		Embossing is the raising or indenting of a design in relief on a sheet or strip of metal by passing between rolls of the desired pattern. Embossing may be done prior to the roll forming process and adds a decorative and/or functional appearance.
	Extrusion Services		Manufacturing of lengths of cross-sectional shapes and profiles by forcing material through a die of appropriate shape.
	Machining		Supplier has machining capabilities. Machining is the removal of material through milling, turning, drilling, and other processes.
	Notching, In-line		Notches can be provided during the roll forming process using punching dies that are incorporated directly into the roll form line.
	Notching, Pre / Post		Notches can be provided either before or after the roll forming process.
	Painting / Powder Coating		Supplier can provide painting to provide a protective and/or decorative coating. Powder coating is finishing technologies in which dry paint particles are electrostatic ally charged and applied to a smooth surface. Electrostatic attraction holds powder particles on the part surface until heat is added to flow the powder together and cure it. Parts must be electrically conductive. Although powder coating is most widely used on metal parts, recent technological developments have broadened the type of substrates to include glass, special plastics and wood.
	Plating / Coating		Applying a coating, or plating to the surface of a roll formed component. Coating or plating may be done in-line or post process. Examples plating and coating options are anodizing, galvanizing, zinc plating, copper plating, and nickel plating.
	Press Braking		Press braking is a manual process involving an operator placing the metal workpiece between a punch and die and against a gauge in a press brake machine to provide a pre-set bend or series of bends in the metal.
	Punching, In-line		Holes can be provided during the roll forming process using punching dies that are incorporated directly into the roll form line.
	Punching, Pre / Post		Holes can be provided either before or after the roll forming process.
	Skiving / Edge Conditioning		Skiving, deburring, or other edge conditioning processes. Skiving is a continuous machining process that uses a form tool to cut a trough in the surface of base metal strip stock into which the cladding metal is inlayed and subsequently bonded.
	Slitting		Cutting sheet or strip metal to narrower widths by rotary slitters.
	Stamping		Stamping is the process of creating three-dimensional parts, lettering, and other surface definition onto materials. This is achieved through the use of forms and dies which are forced into the surface of the material by extreme pressure. When removed, the patterns on the forms and dies are indelibly stamped into the material. Many standard and exotic engineering materials can be stamped or formed with pressure, although metal stamping is the primary application. Machinery used to perform stamping and forming services range from relatively simple manual presses to highly computerized progressive die processors, in which the part goes through multiple stages of pressing during its fabrication.
	Toll Processing		Toll processing, or processing deals, is the act of performing a process (such as slitting) on a material for a fee ("toll").
	Tool Making		Supplier has in house expertise and tool shop to create rolls and tooling necessary for production.
	Welding, In-line		Welding operations can be performed during the roll forming process.
	Welding, Pre / Post		Welding operations can be performed before or after the roll forming process.
	Other		Other unlisted manufacturing services.

	Support and Production Services
	Your choices are...
	Assembly Services		Supplier services include assembly of components.
	CAD / CAM Support		Vendor has the computer technology to receive solid model files electronically and use those files for part creation.
	Design Assistance		Supplier can assist with concepts, manufacturing costs, manufacturing techniques and material considerations. Supplier may also be able to assist in upgrading or redesigning, re-evaluating or modernizing existing products to increase performance and/or reduce manufacturing costs. Some suppliers offer material sourcing and CAD modeling as well.
	Prototype		Supplier can create prototypes to lend substance to ideas or investigate true manufacturing costs.
	Low Volume Production		Supplier is capable of performing low volume production runs; typically means a production run time of less than one week.
	High Volume Production		Supplier is capable of performing high volume production runs; typically means a production run time of over one week.
	Just-In-Time Capability		Supplier has Just-In-Time manufacturing capability of parts in order to reduce need for inventory maintenance.
	Packaging / Shipping		Supplier provides packaging and shipping capabilities including bulk shipment to facility for further processing or final packaging and shipping of product or device directly to the individual end customer.
	Other		Other unlisted support of production service.

Certification / Quality Requirements



	Your choices are...
	ISO 9001		In 1987, International Standards Organization (ISO) 9000 standards were developed to ensure that companies' products and services have consistent, documented approaches that meet the European community's quality requirements. ISO 9001 sets out the requirements for an organization whose business processes range all the way from design and development, to production, installation and servicing.
	ISO 9002		In 1987, International Standards Organization (ISO) 9000 standards were developed to ensure those companies' products and services have consistent, documented approaches that meet the European community's quality requirements. ISO 9002 is for an organization that does not carry out design and development. It does not include the design control requirements of ISO 9001 - otherwise, its requirements are identical.
	ISO 14001		ISO 14001 specifies the actual requirements for an environmental management system. It applies to those environmental aspects, over which the organization has control or influence. ISO 14001 was first published in 1996 and is the only ISO 14000 standard against which it is currently possible to be certified by an external certification authority.
	QS 9000		QS9000 defines the fundamental quality system expectations of manufacturers for internal and external suppliers of production and service parts and materials. These companies are committed to working with suppliers to ensure customer satisfaction beginning with conformance to quality requirements.
	MIL-SPEC		Manufacture items in accordance with the U.S. Government standards as dictated by the appropriate military specifications.
	Other		Other, unlisted certification or quality requirement.
