Plate Rolling Technical Data

Image of rolled steel cone

Plate rolling is used to form cylinders, cones and other plate shapes curved in two dimensions, and has broad applications across all industries.

The table below shows the tightest curvature generally achievable. These figures are nominally based on 300 grade steel, and should be interpreted as indicative only.
