From selling one piece in our stores to delivering truckloads of metal to your location, we work well with all types of customers.
Hot rolling usually uses large ingots and large reduction rolling, improving production efficiency and creating conditions for increasing rolling speed and achieving a continuous and automated rolling process. Some of the other benefits associated with hot rolled steel square bar include:
Hot rolled steel plate and sheet typically require much less processing than cold rolled steel, making it much cheaper. However, since hot rolled steel can cool at room temperature, it’s free from internal stresses that can arise from quenching or work-hardening processes.
HR steel sheet and plate can be identified by the following characteristics:
Hot rolled steel sheet and plate provide a rougher surface than cold rolled steel and plate. It is also regularly used when galvanized in applications where corrosion resistance is necessary. High strength and highly formable HR steel plate and sheet metal products are easy to drill, form and weld.
The main differences between hot rolled and cold rolled steel are their specific manufacturing processes. Hot rolling refers to processing done with heat, while cold rolling refers to procedures done at or around room temperature.
Although these techniques affect overall performance and application, they should not be confused with formal specifications and grades of steel, which relate to metallurgical composition and performance ratings.
Both hot rolled steel and cold rolled steel start essentially the same way and can have the same grades and specifications. But cold rolled steel undergoes additional processing steps, resulting in improved properties that can be exploited for different applications. Each type of steel has its advantages and disadvantages, and costs for the two types of steel can also vary widely.
When you order from Industrial Metal Supply (IMS), we can cut your metal to size and deliver it the next day. If you require more extensive services than just sawing or shearing, we also offer the following advanced metal cutting options:
