Looper lines or also known as "roping" in aluminum is a form of "surface roughening" which occurs during deep drawing or drawing and ironing operations. The origin of looper lines occur during ingot casting, homogenization and rolling practices. The coarse grain structure are formed during the hot rolling or intermediate annealing when drawn into fine "fiber" like structure during temper rolling. In annealed sheets, if these fibers fail to recrystalize, the fibers can produce looper lines. Looper lines also can form because of segregated constituent or solute. If the coarse grains with segregation persist the reheating, this can produce looper lines.

Looper lines in drawn aluminum are typically caused by inconsistent tension during the drawing process, resulting in uneven stretching and surface markings on the metal. This can be due to equipment issues, improper lubrication, or variations in material properties. Regular maintenance of equipment and adjusting process parameters can help reduce the occurrence of looper lines in drawn aluminum.
