Custom Hot Rolled Steel (HRS) Sheet & Coil Products
Hot rolled steel sheet and coil is flat steel material that is manufactured through a high-temperature rolling process, offering remarkable strength, formability, and versatility for various industries.
The manufacturing process of hot rolled steel sheet and coil begins by heating a metal billet or slab to temperatures above its recrystallization point, typically ranging between 1,100°C and 1,300°C (2,012°F and 2,372°F). The heated steel is then passed through a series of rolling mills, reducing its thickness and shaping it into a flat sheet or coil form. This hot-rolling process, characterized by high temperatures and rapid cooling, gives rise to the distinctive qualities of hot-rolled steel sheet and coil.

Physical Characteristics Of Hot Rolled Steel Sheet & Coil
Hot-rolled steel sheet and coil products have specific physical characteristics due to the hot-rolling process. They typically feature a rougher surface texture compared to cold rolled steel. The presence of a mill scale, an oxide layer formed during hot rolling, lends the steel a scaly appearance. Further treatment or processing may be required to achieve the desired surface finish.
One of the key advantages of products produced from hot rolled steel sheet and coil is their strength and ductility. The hot rolling process aligns the steel’s crystalline structure, resulting in improved mechanical properties. The steel retains its formability and ductility, making it suitable for various shaping and forming operations.
Versatility and formability are hallmarks of hot-rolled steel sheet and coil products. They can be easily shaped, bent, or cut into different sizes and configurations.
Hot Rolled Steel Sheet & Coil Are Available In A Wide Range Of Sizes, Thicknesses And Grades
Hot rolled steel sheet and coil are available in a wide range of sizes, thicknesses and grades to meet diverse application requirements. The thickness of hot rolled steel sheets typically ranges from a few millimeters to several centimeters, depending on the intended use. Various steel grades are available to provide specific mechanical properties, corrosion resistance or other desired characteristics.
Cost-effectiveness is another notable advantage of hot rolled steel sheet and coil. They are generally more economical compared to cold rolled steel or other steel manufacturing processes. The hot rolling process is faster and requires less energy, making it a cost-effective option for large-scale production.
