How Hot Rolled Steel Differs From Cold Rolled Steel An alternative method used to manipulate the shape and physical properties of steel is cold rolling. Upon hearing the term “cold rolling,” you might assume that it doesn’t involve heat, but this isn’t necessarily true. Cold rolling requires the same steps as hot rolling but with an added phase of rolling at the end. With cold rolling, steel is heated above its recrystallization point and fed through a series of rollers, which are the same steps as hot rolling. The difference is that cold rolling requires an additional phase of rolling, which is performed at or near room temperature. Cold rolling is a more laborious process, though it results in a stronger steel. Cold Rolled Alloy Steel Plate is stronger than Hot Rolled Steel Plate, and surface is brighter. We can provide all kinds of ASTM Standard Cold Rolled Steel Plates. Category Grades…
