Steel comes in two main varieties: hot rolled and cold rolled. The two types have differences in the number of carbon bonds and how the metal is purposed ranging from formable, medium-carbon steel to high-quality, T1 carbon steel. In this blog post, we will look at hot rolled and cold rolled steel profiles to compare them.
The mechanical properties of hot and cold rolled steel are clearly evident. Hot rolled steel is typically much easier to work than cold rolled steel, and the quality of the finish that you can achieve using hot rolling can be quite good! Cold rolled steel, on the contrary, is stronger and harder but brittle. This gives cold rolled steel excellent end product resistance to corrosion and easy workability.
The differences between hot and cold rolled steel one of the most obvious differences between hot and cold rolled steel is the process itself. Well look at more specific uses that you might have for cold rolled steel, but first lets take a look at some of the general characteristics of it to give you an idea of what it can do for you. And were not trying to be rude here we just want to thin(k) people are picking up what we are throwing down! Whether your project requires strength, precision, tight tolerances or durability, you’ll find that cold rolled steel s the product you need for your next project.
Take welding for example: hot rolled steel has its own pros and cons versus cold rolled. Hot rolled steel is easier to cut, since it does not shatter or crack when exposed to extreme heat and cold which means it can be shaped and sculpted more easily. Cold rolled steel is, on the other hand, slightly stronger and tougher than hot rolled steel, so it’s better for welding. Cold rolled steel also be easier to welded than that of hot rolled. And the cold roll is more lighter than the hot and overall surface is smooth. For welding, galvanized steel is the better choice.
For precision cuts and tight tolerances, cold rolled steel is an ideal material. Cold rolled steel is a higher quality product than hot rolled steel. This would be easier for handling in precision engineering applications where exactness is very important. There's also the fact that cold rolled steel is more consistent in overall structure than hot rolled. For stands receiving heavy use or with increased vibration, return to Kunyu where you can have confidence that the cold rolled steel has been selected for long term reliability.
