      Alligatoring is the defect, usually occurs in the rolling of slabs (particularly aluminum and alloys). In this defect, the work piece splits along a horizontal plane on exit, with the top and bottom.

        Some peripheral lines related to this topic:

        • Alligatoring is the accidental splitting of a piece of sheet metal to form two open ends. It gets its name from the metal resembling the mouth of an alligator.
        • Usually, this is a result of the machinery pressing down too hard that the metal reacts in a strange way, as if the metal was crushed or steamrolled.
        • Alligatoring is considered a production defect that can lead to flaws in appearance, performance, and stability.
