Hot Rolled Steel Sheets
Millennium is a hot rolled (HR) steel sheet supplier with a substantial inventory of hot roll steel sheets available to meet unique application needs.
Hot rolled steel sheets are made in a similar way to hot rolled steel plates. Steel slabs are heated up to extreme temperatures, exceeding the steel’s recrystallization point above 1700˚F. Next, the steel is passed through a series of rollers that thin out and lengthen the steel. Once the desired thickness is achieved, the steel is rolled into coils and then cooled for delivery.
Advantages of Hot Rolled Steel
In comparison to unprocessed steel, hot rolled steel possesses attributes such as increased workability and formability. The process for hot rolled steel allows it to be produced quickly and in larger quantities, which in turn reduces prices. Being cooled at room temperature, hot rolled steel is also free, or close to free, of internal stress.
One downfall, depending on the needs and application, is the scaly surface of hot rolled steel. In situations requiring the properties of hot rolled steel but with a smoother, cleaner surface, hot rolled pickled and oiled sheet may be the best option. Pickled and oiled steel has had the stains, scale, and imperfections removed, extending the life of your material.
