Hot-Rolled Steel Coil
High-strength, durable, and versatile HRC coils for construction, automotive, machinery, and pipeline projects
Premium Hot-rolled Steel Coil for Industrial Applications
Hot-rolled steel coils (HRC) are manufactured from slabs, primarily continuous casting slabs. The slabs are first heated and then rolled through roughing and finishing mills to form steel strips. After exiting the last finishing mill, the high-temperature strip is cooled by laminar flow to the specified temperature and then coiled by a coiler. Once cooled, the coils are processed on finishing lines according to customer requirements, including leveling, straightening, cutting (slitting or shearing), inspection, weighing, packaging, and marking.
Common Grades of Hot-rolled Steel Coil
ASTM A36 – Low-carbon structural steel for general construction and fabrication.
C1010 / C1018 / C1026 / C1045 – Carbon steel grades for industrial and mechanical applications.
A1011 / A500 – Widely used structural and fabrication steel.
C1141 – High-quality carbon steel suitable for various manufacturing processes.

Advantages of Hot-rolled Steel Coil
Energy-efficient and cost-effective – Hot rolling significantly reduces energy consumption and production costs thanks to high metal plasticity and low deformation resistance.
Improved workability – Hot rolling refines coarse casting grains, heals cracks, eliminates casting defects, and transforms the casting structure into a deformation structure, enhancing processing performance.
High production efficiency – Large ingots and heavy reduction rolling improve productivity and create favorable conditions for faster rolling speeds, continuous production, and automation.
