Cold roll-forming is a major forming process for the mass production of a variety of complex profiles from a wide spectrum of materials and thicknesses. According to Chryssolouris (2005) and Lange (1985), roll-forming process is classified into the category of sheet metal forming by bending with rotary tool motion. The plastic deformation of a solid body is achieved by means of a bending load. The metal strip enters into the roll-forming mill, in a precut or coil form, and it is gradually formed through consecutive contoured rolls into complex shapes (Fig. 1). Three-dimensional deformations of the material include transversal bending and other additive redundant deformations.
