hot rolled carbon steel coil
Hot rolled carbon steel coil represents a fundamental product in the metal manufacturing industry, produced through a high-temperature rolling process where steel is heated above its recrystallization temperature and then formed into coils. This manufacturing method results in a product that combines excellent formability with consistent mechanical properties. The process begins with heating thick steel slabs to temperatures around 2200°F, followed by progressive rolling to reduce thickness while maintaining structural integrity. The resulting material features a characteristic dark gray mill scale surface finish and slightly rounded edges, making it ideal for applications where precise tolerances are not critical. These coils typically offer good weldability, formability, and machinability, making them suitable for various industrial applications. The material's carbon content, usually ranging from 0.04% to 0.3%, determines its strength and workability characteristics. Hot rolled carbon steel coils are manufactured in various widths, thicknesses, and grades to meet diverse industrial requirements, offering a cost-effective solution for applications requiring structural strength and durability.
