Hot rolled steel is steel that has been roll-pressed at very high temperatures—over 1,700, which is above the re-crystallization temperature for most steels. This makes the steel easier to form, and resulting in products that are easier to work with. To process hot rolled steel, manufacturers first start with a large, rectangular length of metal, called a billet. The billet is heated and then sent for pre-processing, where it is flattened into a large roll. From there, it is kept at a high temperature and run through a series of rollers to achieve its finished dimensions. Steel shrinks slightly as it cools. Since hot rolled steel is cooled after processing, there is less control over its final shape, making it less suitable for precision applications. Hot rolled steel is often used in applications where minutely specific dimensions aren't crucial.

Why Choose Our Carbon Steel?

• High strength: Carbon steel contains carbon elements, providing high strength and hardness for machine parts and building materials.
• Good plasticity: Can be processed into various shapes through forging, rolling, and other processes. Can be treated with chromium plating or hot dip galvanizing for better corrosion resistance.
• Low price: A common industrial material that is relatively inexpensive due to the easy availability of raw materials and simple manufacturing processes.

Carbon steel plates have many uses and a large volume of demand. They are mainly used in railways, bridges, and various construction projects to manufacture metal components that bear static loads, and unimportant mechanical parts and general welded parts that do not require heat treatment.
