Well now, let’s sit down and talk about carbon steel. This carbon rolled steel is a common thing, and we see it a lot in our daily life. Carbon steel is the hot-rolled steel, which is not called low alloy or high alloy. It is considered a common steel.
This carbon steel has a very good strength. The strength of cold-rolled steel is about 20% higher than that of hot-rolled steel. This is used in some places that need to withstand high pressure, which is really good. The surface of cold-rolled steel is very smooth and looks bright, without the annoying rust.
We usually roll steel into thin sheets. This process involves flattening and stretching the steel through two rollers. We can make a variety of products, such as steel strips, coils, foils, rods, tubes, plates, sheets, etc., all of which are processed in such places. It is really useful.
Cold-rolled steel is particularly suitable for places that require precise dimensions and smooth surfaces. Think about it, the body panels and door frames of cars are all made of cold-rolled steel. There is no other way to ensure that they are beautiful and durable.
When it comes to mechanical properties, here are some numbers to tell you. For example, AISI 1020 steel is one of the commonly used carbon steels. In the hot-rolled state, its strength is about 65,000 pounds per square inch. To put it bluntly, some uses are very wide.
However, hot-rolled steel and cold-rolled steel each have their own advantages, depending on where you need to use it. Hot-rolled steel is generally suitable for places where appearance is not very important, while cold-rolled steel is suitable for places with high requirements.
Hot rolled steel: high processing temperature, low cost, suitable for large-scale production.
Cold rolled steel: high processing accuracy, smooth surface, suitable for fine processing.
Carbon rolled steel is a good choice. The key is to see what you need to choose the right one. Our small steel mills also use this kind of steel to make some simple tools and equipment. It is really inseparable from it.
So, if you want to know or have any questions, just ask me. I am here to answer you.
