About Hot Rolled Carbon Steel Coil
About Hot Rolled Carbon Steel Coil. Hot Rolled Carbon Steel Coil is a carbon steel product produced by passing a heated metal piece through rolls in three steps: primary rolling, conditioning, and finish rolling. In the first operation, ingots are broken down into semifinished shapes, such as blooms, billets, slabs, and rounds, by reducing cross-section and increasing length. During the process, the ingots are constantly reheated to achieve a homogeneous temperature, guaranteeing plasticity during rolling. In the conditioning process, some defects from the previous step must be removed, depending on the application of the final products. During the finish rolling, the piece is worked to obtain the desired finished shape of a sheet or strip, and a final heat treatment can be applied to enhance the microstructure. Rolling is used for thickness reduction, and an already rolled carbon steel sheet can undergo the same process to achieve further reduction and properties enhancement. Due to the heating during forming, hot rolling is a quicker and cheaper process than cold rolling, losing some strength qualities. At the end of the process, the metal sheet is coiled, cooled, and prepared to be marketed.
Hot Rolled Carbon Steel Coil Handling. The coils are heavy, and this weight is concentrated. Because of that, it must be shipped carefully in a way to prevent straining or otherwise damaging the shipping container, whether transport is carried out by ship, truck or train. Also, attention is needed in the packaging, stowage, and lashing operations.
Hot Rolled Carbon Steel Coil Uses. The uses and applications of Hot Rolled Carbon Steel Coil may vary according to its specification. The main forms of Hot Rolled Carbon Steel Coil are commercial quality sheet (for moderate forming, bending in any direction at room temperature: SAE 1008 / AISE 1012); drawing quality sheet (for intense forming, bending in any direction at room temperature and having a uniform chemical composition: SAE 1006 / AISE 1008); drawing quality special skilled sheet (for severe forming, bending in any direction at room temperature and having a uniform chemical composition: SAE 1006 / AISE 1008); and structural quality (for specific elongations and strength values, up to 1035 MPa).
