Hot Rolled Coils (HRC)
Description:
Hot rolled stainless steel coils are produced by rolling the steel at high temperatures above its recrystallization point. This process results in coils with a rougher surface finish and less precise dimensional tolerances but offers excellent workability and cost-effectiveness for heavy-duty applications.
Product Description
Key Features of Hot Rolled Coils:
- Cost-Effective Production:
The hot rolling process is less complex and energy-intensive compared to cold rolling, making hot rolled coils more economical for large-scale structural and industrial uses. - Good Workability:
Due to the elevated temperature during processing, the coils exhibit increased ductility and easier shaping capabilities. - Scaled Surface Finish:
The coils typically have a rough surface with mill scale, which may require further finishing depending on the application. - Looser Dimensional Tolerances:
Dimensional precision is less strict than cold rolled coils, suitable for applications where exact measurements are not critical.
Wide Range of Applications:
Commonly used in construction, heavy machinery, automotive frames, shipbuilding, and agricultural equipment.
