Steel Coil & Strip & Cold Rolled Steel Coil,GB/T 12754-2019、ASTM A755、EN 10169
1. Product Overview
Cold Rolled Carbon Steel Coil (abbreviated as CRC) is deep-processed from high-quality hot rolled steel coils through rolling at room temperature (below metal recrystallization temperature). It goes through a full set of procedures including pickling for descaling, cold tandem rolling, batch/continuous annealing, skin pass finishing and anti-rust oil coating.
Different from hot rolled coils, the whole production process involves no high-temperature heating, resulting in surfaces free of oxide scale and pitting defects, ultra-high dimensional tolerance accuracy, as well as excellent stamping, bending and welding performance. It serves as the core basic raw material for home appliances, automobiles, hardware, and substrates of color coated & galvanized steel. Products can be delivered in full coils, or cut into flat cold rolled sheets (cut-to-length sheets) as required.
2. Complete Production Process Flow
Hot rolled raw coil → Pickling (remove oxide scale and rust) → Cold tandem rolling (reduce thickness to target with 40%–80% reduction rate) → Hard cold rolled coil (unannealed, high hardness) → Continuous / Batch annealing (eliminate work hardening and restore ductility & toughness) → Skin pass finishing (correct flatness and control surface roughness) → Slitting to fixed width / Cut-to-length flatting → Anti-rust oil coating → Packaging, Warehousing & Shipment
Classification of Two Types of Finished Products
Annealed Cold Rolled Coil (Main Product for Shipment): Good ductility, available for deep drawing, bending and complex forming; mainstream product purchased on the market
Hard Cold Rolled Coil (CR): Non-annealed, high hardness HRB>90, only suitable for simple bending, mostly used as substrates for galvanizing mills

6. Core Product Advantages
Excellent Surface QualityFree of hot rolling oxide scale, scabs and pitting. Surfaces are classified into three grades: FB Finished Grade (special for home appliance panels), FC High Finished Grade, FF Super Mirror Finish Grade, free of scratches, pores and roll marks. Direct painting, baking finish and electroplating are available without polishing pretreatment.
Ultra-high Dimensional PrecisionThickness tolerance ±0.02~±0.05mm; width and flatness are strictly controlled, ensuring stable finished stamping dimensions and reducing waste loss.
Superior Forming PerformanceLow-carbon material allows 180° bending without cracking; stable deep drawing without tearing and low springback, compatible with automatic continuous stamping production lines. Excellent weldability for spot welding, MIG welding and TIG welding.
Strong Supporting ExpandabilityCan be used as dedicated substrates for hot-dip galvanizing, electro-galvanizing, color coating and tin plating to support one-stop downstream surface treatment processes.
Stable Storage & TransportationUniform anti-rust oil coated before delivery, packed with standard waterproof & moisture-proof materials, which can prevent rust for 3–6 months during sea container transportation.

Shipment Documents: Original Material Test Certificate (MTC), Packing List, Commercial Invoice and Certificate of Origin are provided to complete full export customs clearance documents.
10. Storage & Operation Precautions
Store in dry and ventilated environment, avoid outdoor exposure to rain and damp ground to prevent surface rust.
Use special C-type lifting tools for coil hoisting; do not directly bind coil edges with steel wire ropes to prevent deformation and scratches.
No polishing required before processing; light oil stains can be painted directly. Supplementary anti-rust oil can be applied for secondary rust prevention during long-term storage.
Hard cold rolled coils are only suitable for small-angle bending; deep drawing and stretching processing are forbidden to avoid cracking and scrapping.
