Cold Rolled Steel Sheet Hardness

This is a prime quality low carbon cold rolled commercial finish steel sheet which has been cold reduced to gage and hardness as indicated.

Cold rolled steel sheet hardness. See table 3 page 3. For high strength or structural applications cold rolled steels are also available in yield strengths up to 60 ksi. It is priced lower than genuine cold rolled strip steel. It is recommended and generally used in applications where sheet steel s broader chemical and physical tolerances will permit.

However after the cold reduced product is annealed heated to high temperatures it becomes very soft and formable. Choose from our selection of cold rolled steel including low carbon steel sheets and bars low carbon steel rods and discs and more. As noted in an earlier post different types of steel undergo a wide range of processes to achieve the proper physical properties many people have heard that there s a difference between hot and cold rolled steel but don t understand what how the production of hot rolled or cold rolled steel is different from one another what industries and applications hot rolled and cold rolled serve. 410 mpa as shown in table 2 page 3.

However this cannot be said about cold rolled sheet and hot rolled sheet. The finished material appears dark gray and has a smooth reflective surface that is resistant to corrosion thanks to a stable oxidation film on the surface of the finished steel. Cold rolled steels can also be specified as dent resistant dr or bake hardenable bh for applications that require dent resistance after forming and painting. Chemically it is very similar to a36 hot rolled steel but the cold rolling process creates a better surface finish and better properties.

Cold rolled commercial quality sheet or coil steel supplied for either exposed or unexposed applications where bending welding forming or moderate drawing is involved. Crcq is available in coil sheet or strip formed with various gauge ranges widths and hardness. The cold reduction operation induces very high strains work hardening into the sheet. Materials ranging from the sheet metal in cars to the tubing in bicycle frames can be created from cold rolled steel.
