Ingots can be reduced in thickness by rolling. The ingot passes through a series of high-compression rollers and then a sequence of heat treatments or cold rolling depending on the alloy and intended use. The ingot can be converted into progressively thinner sheets, plates or foils. Ingots can also be extruded through dies to produce specific shapes or wire.
