Hot Rolled Steel

Hot Rolled Steel is manufactured using a mill process which involves rolling the steel at a high temperature (above the steel’s recrystallization temperature). While the steel is above the recrystallization temperature, it can be shaped and formed easily. With Hot Rolled Steel, the starting material is usually large pieces of metal such as slabs, blooms and billets.

Benifits

Lower Cost
This product is typically cheaper than cold rolled steel due to the manufacturing processes involved.
Malleability
During the cooling process, the metal re-configures itself, which gives the finished product looser tolerances than the original material. This makes the Hot Rolled products more malleable, allowing it to be forced into a variety of different shapes.
Improved Mechanical Properties
By using a hot rolling mill, processing the metal can destroy the casting organization of the steel ingot and refine grain, eliminating certain steel defects and making the steel organization more dense, thus improving its mechanical properties.
ASTM Specifications
ASTM Designation A568 outlines the general requirements for Hot Rolled Steel. Included in this specification are steel chemistry requirements and typical mechanical properties of various metallurgical grades.

Surface Treatments

Pickled & Oiled
Hot Rolled products are available with a Pickled & Oiled finish. By being pickled in acid and oiled, the mill scale on the Hot Rolled Steel can be removed which protects it from rusting. Pickling and oiling cost is somewhere in between regular hot rolling and cold rolling.

End-Use Applications

Hot Rolled Steel coil is produced as a feedstock for cold rolled steel coil and metallic-coated coils such as galvanized or galvannealed steel. Used in a variety of industrial applications including transportation (bridges, support beams, guardrails), shipbuilding, gas containers, pressure vessels and energy pipelines. In addition, Hot Rolled Steel is incorporated in many construction products including everything from fireplaces to furniture to cabinets…in both residential and commercial applications. This product has also caught the eye of architects for applications such as wall panels, decorative railings and more.
