Italian term or phrase: rigonfiamento

This is from a manual for a machine that embosses metal strip. Here's the context:

Per un’eventuale correzione su differenze di rigonfiamento operare sul motoriduttore dalla parte cui necessita, oppure per aumentare o diminuire il valore di goffratura operare su entrambi motoriduttori.

and

Uniformare il “rigonfiamento”
Nel caso lo spessore di rigonfiamento non risultasse uguale su entrambi lati della lamiera è necessario agire, tramite il selettore dedicato posto sul pulpito di comando, sul motoriduttore A o B che regola il contrasto mobile dal lato in cui necessita l’uniformità.

Is there a specific term for this? I'm tempted to use "thickness of embossing", but that seems clumsy.

Thanks.

bulging

Explanation:
Hi Daniel,
If you use embossing that's going to clash with goffratura isn't it?

Looks like bulging is a term used in sheet metal work. Have a look at some of the link here:

This looks like a CAD/CAM tool but they use bulging for rigonfiamento with reference to embossing

Hi Daniel,
I reckon embossing is good for goffratura, so bulging will be OK for rigonfiamento with no clash in terminology.

relief depth/height

Explanation:
Here "relief" is used as in the Arts to indicate the 'distance' from the background.
It is usual to indicate 'depth' in general and more specifically when you talk about the embossing as seen from the 'negative' side, e.g. the embossing roller.
You can use 'height' (although less common) when you look at embossing from the 'positive' side, i.e. on the embossed material itself.
I'd suggest "depth" throughout.
