I'll give it a go:

Don't know about composite  - composed of several types of steel?
I think "rolls" refers to long strips of metal coiled up.

>in the rolling of steel
Rolling steel is to put a plate or strip of steel between pairs of rollers to
make it
thinner

> has been for work rolls
Work rolls are the raw material provided by a smelter to a manufacturer

>in four-high hot and cold strip mills
Four-high is maybe a mill that works four strips off rolls through rollers at
once

and in plate mills;
A mill that chops the strip from a roll into plates?

>in the rolling of nonferrous metals,
Nonferrous metals are like aluminum, brass, copper, etc. - anything without iron

No suggestions about hot breakdown

> cold reduction of sheet and strip."
I think cold reduction is making the metal thinner by pressure without heat.

No guarantees for accuracy(
