Steel Coil & Strip & Hot Rolled Steel Coil,Q235B,Q355B/C/D,Q390/Q420,SPHC,SPHD/SPHE
1. Product Overview & Production Process
1.1 Brief Introduction
Hot rolled steel coil (abbreviated as HR coil) is produced from continuous casting slabs. Under high temperature of 1100–1300°C above steel recrystallization temperature, slabs go through continuous rough rolling and finish rolling, then cooled by laminar flow and coiled into strip coils. It is a core basic raw material widely used in steel structure, machinery manufacturing, pipe production and cold rolling substrate.
1.2 Complete Production Flow
Continuous casting slab reheating → high-pressure water descaling → multi-pass rough rolling → finish rolling to specified dimensions → laminar flow temperature-controlled cooling → coiling by down coiler → finishing processing (slitting, levelling, cutting to length) → packing & warehousing for delivery
1.3 Delivery Forms
Original as-rolled coil: Delivered directly after rolling with original oxide scale, most cost-effective.
Levelled finished coil: Processed by leveller to eliminate wave shape with excellent flatness.
Slitted narrow coil: Cut into narrow strips as per customer required width.
Cut-to-length plate: Hot rolled coil levelled and sheared into single hot rolled steel plates.
