Noun
- A cold-rolling process used in the shaping of metal tube and pipe. It involves two circular dies, with an uneven u-shape along the circumferential axis, being brought into contact with a large pipe. The dies are rolled backwards and forwards to apply pressure all around the pipe, to reduce its diameter to the desired size.<ref>{{cite-journal|url=https://www.thefabricator.com/article/tubepipeproduction/introducing-cold-pilger-mill-technology|work=The Tube and Pipe Journal|title=Introducing Cold Pilger Mill Technology|date=13 Mar 2018}}</ref>
