A wire or similar elongated element of metallic material is advanced between at least one pressure roller and at least one counter-roller and is engaged with the pressure roller under pressure to be rollingly deformed; the pressure roller may be profiled to form ribs, grooves or the like on the wire. The pressure acting from the wire on the roller frequently reaches such a force that it tends to destroy the pressure roller, and in accordance with the invention a counter-force is exerted upon the roller, to compensate for the force acting on the same from the wire so as to prevent its destruction.
