In roll forging, a bar stock, round or flat is placed between die rollers which reduces the cross-section and increases the length to form parts such as axles, leaf springs etc. This is essentially a form of draw forging.

Rolling is the most important metal working process and can be performed on either hot or cold metal. Material is passed between cast of forged steel rolls which compress it and move it forward. Rolling is a economical method of deformation if metal is required in long lengths of uniform cross section. Normal rolling achieves thickness reduction of about 2:1.

In the process of roll forging, a bar stock, round or flat is placed between die rollers which reduces the cross-section and increases the length to form parts such as axles, leaf springs etc. Roll forgings has a wide spread use. As it can easily be made continuous by the use of multiple roller and dies. Roll forging can also be said to be a type of draw forging process as the workpiece is gradually drawn out into the requisite shape.
