Definition: Crocketing is a form of mechanical engineering where metal parts are cut and bent using a rolling machine, which creates a hollow cylinder. This process can be used to create various types of objects such as pipes, valves, or other components for various applications in engineering. Crocketing can be done in two main methods: the forging method and the forging-rolling method. In the forging method, the metal parts are first shaped with a die, then rolled out to form the desired shape.
