In older rolling mills, a flying micrometer was used for gauge control. A flying micrometer is rollers in a C-frame. The rollers operate an encoder, which tells the position of the gap between two rollers. The micrometer is held perpendicular to the surface of the moving strip.
There are many types of steel that vary in their carbon content. SAE 1006 to 1010 are low carbon steels that are extremely soft and ductile.
Hot and cold metalworking between two or more rolls has been in existence since long before the industrial revolution. As a matter of fact, Leonardo da Vinci was credited for the metalworking mill prior to his death in 1519.
