GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Manufacturing / roll forming
German term or phrase: Bombierung
This is a short section in an encylopaedia entry without additional context that would make it clear how to translate Walzen. For now, I've got rollers. But mainly I'm not sure what's going on in the part of the sentence I've marked with asterisks. I don't understand the logic of "die das Durchbiegen der Walzen ausgleichen soll, welches zu einer ungleichmäßigen Dicke des gewalzten Werkstücks führen würde." TIA for your ideas.

In der Walzwerktechnik nennt man eine Bombierung die fassartige Verdickung der Walzen zur Mitte hin, *die das Durchbiegen der Walzen ausgleichen soll, welches zu einer ungleichmäßigen Dicke des gewalzten Werkstücks führen würde.*

Some translations I found:

bombieren – camber
bombiert – convex
bombierte Rolle – crowned roller

Initial attempt:
In roll forming technology camber is the barrel-like thickening of rollers toward the centre, which the deflection of the rollers is supposed to level out and which would lead to an uneven thickness in the rolled workpiece.

Explanation:
OK, you've got the logic reversed; I'll use your sentence

that is supposed to make up for deflection (any bending) of the rollers that would lead to an uneven thickness in the rolled workpiece.

Walzwerk is a rolling mill
