Cold-rolled steel and hot-rolled steel are the two most common steels. The biggest difference between the two is the production process.
Cold-rolled steel and hot-rolled steel have their own advantages and disadvantages and are suitable for different scenarios. This article will explain the difference between cold-rolled steel and hot-rolled steel to help you choose the right steel for your project.
Cold rolled steel is hot rolled steel that has been heat treated at room temperature, which is then further rolled, cooled and annealed at room temperature.
Cold rolled steel is rolled multiple times to achieve more accurate dimensions and better surface quality.
Pickling → Cold rolling → Annealing → Oiling → Surface treatment → Inspection → Packaging and storage
Hot rolled steel is formed by continuously rolling steel billets at high temperatures, usually above 1000℃ (higher than the recrystallization temperature of steel); it is then cooled.
Raw material preparation → Pretreatment → Rough rolling → Intermediate rolling → Finishing rolling → Cooling → Cutting and leveling → Packaging and storage
Cold rolled steel is suitable for small-scale production and high precision requirements, and is usually used to produce thin plates, wires, strips, bars, etc.
Hot rolled steel is suitable for mass production and industrial applications, and is usually used to produce thick plates and steel sections.
