Hot Rolled Steel

Hot rolled steel is produced by heating raw steel past its recrystallization temperature and then rolling it into sheets or shapes. This process makes the steel easier to shape and form. Because it’s done at high temperatures, the steel cools rapidly, which can lead to a rougher surface finish and less precise dimensions compared to cold-rolled steel. Hot rolled steel is commonly used in construction, manufacturing, and infrastructure due to its strength, affordability, and versatility, especially where surface finish and precision are less critical.
