Hot Rolled Steel
What is Hot Rolled Steel?
Hot Rolled Steel is steel that has been rolled at high temperatures, typically over 1700℉, which is above the recrystallization temperature of the steel. This process makes the steel easier to form and results in products that are easier to work with. Hot Rolled Steel is commonly used in applications where precise shapes and tolerances are not critical.
Key Properties of Hot Rolled Steel
- Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications due to its malleability.
- High Temperature Processing: Allows for the production of large, uniform shapes.
- Lower Cost: Typically less expensive than cold rolled steel due to the simpler processing.
- Scale Formation: Surface is often covered with mill scale, which can be removed for a smoother finish.
Common Applications
Hot Rolled Steel is used in various industries due to its versatile properties:
- Construction: Structural beams, columns, and other components requiring strength and durability.
- Automotive Industry: Frames, wheel rims, and other parts where dimensional precision is not critical.
- Heavy Equipment: Machinery parts and components that need to withstand high stress and load.
- Railroad Tracks: Rails and tracks due to their high strength and durability.
- Metal Buildings: Framework and components for metal buildings and sheds.
- Pipelines: Pipes and tubes for transporting gases and liquids.
Why Choose Hot Rolled Steel?
- Cost-Effective: Lower cost compared to cold rolled steel.
- High Strength: Suitable for heavy-duty applications.
- Ease of Fabrication: Malleable and easier to work with.
- Availability: Widely available in various sizes and shapes.
Specifications
- Thickness Range: 0.125 inches to 12 inches.
- Width Range: Customizable, commonly 48 inches to 96 inches.
- Grades: Available in various grades to meet specific application needs.
- Standards: Conforms to ASTM, JIS, and EN standards.
