B21H MAKING PARTICULAR METAL OBJECTS BY ROLLING, e.g. SCREWS, WHEELS, RINGS, BARRELS, BALLS (essentially from sheet metal B21D)
Description
B21H encompasses mechanical metal-working processes that form specific finished metal articles or near-finished components through rolling operations, without material removal. The subclass covers techniques for manufacturing discrete objects such as screws, wheels, rings, barrels, balls, and similar items where rolling is the primary shaping method. This includes cold rolling, hot rolling, and thread rolling processes applied to achieve dimensional accuracy and desired material properties in the final product. Related forming operations are classified elsewhere—B21B covers flat-rolled products (strip, sheet, plate), while B21G addresses other metal-working methods like forging and bending.
