Strip steel is cold-rolled in order to reduce its thickness. The steel strip is rolled in a tandem or reverse rolling mill which flattens and stretches the strip to the required thickness. The process can reduce the thickness of the strip by up to ten times without modifying the width. The resultant strip is approximately ten times longer.
The drawback of this process is that internal tension is created, making the strip less supple and more brittle.
