Choose The Right Steel

Why choose hot rolled over cold rolled?

Our Materials Support team can help you choose the optimal steel for your project. Here are some basics: Compared to cold rolled steel, hot rolled steel is strong and easier to form, but comes with heavier thicknesses and wider gauge tolerances. It also offers lower mechanical property control. As a result, it may provide cost savings where appearance, dimensions, and weight requirements are not critical.
