Cold rolled metal sheet.

The material is cooled by the use of oil which also acts as a lubricant during the rolling process. No cut fees no minimums and fast delivery or online order pickup from 6 warehouses nationwide. Cold rolled steel sheet is essentially hot rolled steel that has been further processed to increase its strength and strength to weight ratio. Therefore cold rolled steel is less likely to fail under pressure.

It is a commercial quality alloy that has an oiled surface with a smooth matte finish often used in furniture home appliances and the automotive industry. Hillman 12 in x 24 in cold rolled steel expanded sheet metal. Cold rolled steel is essentially hot rolled steel that has had further processing. Sheet quality finish cold rolled steel will have closed thickness profile good surface texture and flatness compared with hot rolled steel.

This process will produce steel with closer dimensional tolerances and a wider range of surface finishes. Cold roll our large cold roll steel stock is available in various shapes and alloys with full sizes available. For pricing and availability. Cold rolled steel sheet metal.

Cold rolled steels can be used to produce parts containing simple bends to parts with extreme deep drawing requirements depending on the grade and mechanical properties selected.

Cold rolling increases the strength and hardness and decreases ductility of steel by rolling it at ambient temperature or below its recrystallization temperature.

In addition to improvement of mechanical properties the cold rolling produces steel plate sheet of the desired physical dimensions. Cold rolled steel yield strength is higher compared to hot rolled steel sheets. The metal is rolled to the thickness of 0 5 3 mm in case of mild steel and 0 5 5 mm in case of stainless steel. The steel is processed further in cold reduction mills where the material is cooled at room temperature followed by annealing and or tempers rolling.

In general cold rolled steel sheet can hold tighter tolerances than hot rolled when machined or otherwise fabricated and provides a better overall surface finish. Cold rolled sheet metal can be readily welded and is suitable for painting applications when the surface has been well cleaned.
