Abstract
A small projection with a height and width of about 40 and 50 µm, respectively, was formed on a twin-roll-cast A356 aluminum alloy sheet by cold rolling at a rolling speed of 0.5 m/min. This projection was then used as a die to form a groove with a depth and width of about 40 and 50 µm, respectively, on a polyethylene terephthalate plate by pressing.
