Cold Rolled Mild Steel

Mild steel is a type of carbon steel with a low amount of carbon it is actually also known as low carbon steel although ranges vary depending on the source the amount of carbon typically found in mild steel is 0 05 to 0 25 by weight whereas higher carbon steels are typically described as having a carbon content from 0 30 to 2 0.

Cold rolled mild steel. Choose from our selection of cold rolled steel including low carbon steel sheets and bars low carbon steel rods and discs and more. 2032 mm depending on dimensions and product quality. Cold rolled steel sheet is essentially hot rolled steel that has been further processed to increase its strength and strength to weight ratio. 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.

Our available stock sizes. 1ft 2ft 3ft 4ft 5ft 6ft 7ft 8ft 20ft and 24ft. We carry cold roll steel plate in 1018 1045 and a366 1008 most of our cold roll sheet plate stock is available in full size and custom cut lengths. Customers often ask us about the differences between hot rolled steel and cold rolled steel there are some fundamental differences between these two types of metal the differences between hot rolled steel and cold rolled steel relates to the way these metals are processed at the mill and not the product specification or grade.

As an example a hot rolled steel product may have a yield strength of 235 mpa. We carry cold roll steel round tubing in a513 and 1018 metric. In stock and ready to ship. The rolls induce plastic deformation.

Cold rolled steels are available in thicknesses from 0 015 0 135 in. 0 381 3 429 mm and widths to 80 in. In comparison a cold rolled steel product with the same chemical composition has a yield strength of 365 mpa. 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.
