Japanese term

ロール方式又は圧延方式といった従来の方法で行うことができる

Japanese to English Tech/Engineering Engineering (general) Name of profession
The patent translates this as the roll and the rolling method. Is there a better English description of these methods, as linguistically there is not much difference between roll and rolling?


(ix)熱処理工程
 第2の延伸後の膜を熱処理してもよい。第2の延伸により形成されたフィブリルからなる網状組織が保持され、細孔径が大きく、強度に優れたポリオレフィン多層微多孔膜を作製できる。熱処理は、熱固定処理および/又は熱緩和処理を用いることができる。熱固定処理とは、膜の寸法が変わらないように保持しながら加熱する熱処理である。熱緩和処理とは、膜を加熱中にMD方向やTD方向に熱収縮させる熱処理である。特に熱固定処理により膜の結晶が安定化する。熱処理は、テンター方式、ロール方式又は圧延方式といった従来の方法で行うことができる。例えば、熱緩和処理方法としては特開2002-256099号公報に開示の方法があげられる。

the rolling method or the rolled-sheet method

When you need to use another term to say the same thing, maybe you need to make up one. Although I'm not sure if the term "rolled-sheet method" is used in the industry or not, it at least serves the purpose of being an alternative term to add in your patent translation.

... using a traditional method such as the rolling method or the rolled-sheet method.

Rolling seems to be followed by "stretching".

I found one document where a Japanese author even used the term "re-stretching".
Note from asker:
Thank you for your help. I am sure the answer lies in some technological difference between the two methods that neither the original Japanese nor the English translation capture for the uninitiated.
It is not apparent what the author had in mind. The rolling is probably calandering, and the roll method appears to refer to contact with a cooling roller.
