CRIMPING (Engineering).
Pressing into small regular folds or ridges in: (1) the reduction in cross section of a bar material by progressively corrugating it along its surface to give an increase in length; (2) bending or moulding to a required shape; (3) folding or bending sheet metal to provide stiffness.
