Roll-Kraft has recently participated as the exclusive industry sponsor of the Fabricators and Manufacturers Association (FMA) World-Class Roll Forming Workshop. Attendees were urged to bring along their questions, drawings, and even roll formed parts to the workshop to get answers to problems they were experiencing. Topics included presentations of basic and complex roll form systems, metallurgy as it applies to roll forming, tooling installation, use of high strength steels, basic machine applications, lubricants, troubleshooting, and many other subjects. This class covered the many options of using high-strength steels, including when they are preferred, and a comparison to other commercial grade steels. There was an overview of tooling materials, tooling life, lubrication, equipment, and general information on the advantages and disadvantages of using the various steels.
