Cold-rolled steel coil production process

The production process of cold-rolled steel coil mainly includes: pickling → cold rolling → degreasing → annealing → leveling → shearing (cross-cutting, longitudinal cutting)

Properties of cold-rolled steel

  • High hardness and strength: Cold-rolled steel is rolled at room temperature, and has higher hardness and strength than hot-rolled steel.
  • Excellent processing performance: Cold-rolled steel has good plasticity and formability, and can be processed by stamping, cold cutting, bending, etc.
  • Good surface quality: Cold-rolled steel has been rolled and stretched many times, making the surface glossy, without defects such as scale, pitting, rust, etc.
  • Accurate size: The thickness and dimensional accuracy of cold-rolled steel are usually higher than those of hot-rolled steel, and the thickness difference is generally no more than 0.01-0.03mm or less, which can fully meet the requirements of high-precision tolerances.
  • Toughness and weldability: The toughness and weldability of cold-rolled steel are relatively poor. It should be noted that cracks should be avoided during processing.

Applications of cold-rolled steel

Due to the good surface quality and precise size of cold-rolled steel, it is widely used in projects requiring high gloss and high precision. Typical applications include:

  • Automobile manufacturing: automobile body, door, roof, wheel, chassis and other parts.
  • Construction: building structures, industrial plants, warehouses, wall panels, roof panels, bridges, pipes, stairs, guardrails, etc.
  • Home appliances: refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, microwave ovens and other home appliance shells and internal components.
  • Packaging: food packaging, beverage packaging, cosmetics packaging, etc.
  • Aerospace structures: aircraft parts and structural parts, aircraft engine parts and spacecraft shells, etc.
  • Machinery manufacturing: commonly used in the manufacture of mechanical equipment, parts, tools, etc. in the machinery manufacturing field.
