Understanding the cold-rolling process

Did you know India is the second-largest producer of crude steel? The demand for steel is only going by the day and there are over 10 major steel plants in India. Like every other sector, technology has revolutionized the steel sector as well and today, companies use cutting-edge technology to produce and process steel. Amongst all, rolling processing is one of the most used processes in the steel sector. First, let’s understand what is the rolling process:

Steel is usually thick in form and it has to undergo a process to reduce its thickness and be uniform. The metal, in our case – steel, will go through two rollers to be made thinner or flatter.

Steel undergoes the process of rolling to reduce the thickness of the metal as well as make it uniform. In this process, steel is placed between two rolls where the thickness is altered by manipulating the length direction of the steel rather than the width direction.

Within the rolling process segment, there are two popular styles – the hot rolling process and the cold rolling process. And in today’s article, we’ll help you understand the cold-rolling process.

The basic difference between hot rolled steel and cold rolled steel is the temperature of the metal when it is put into the rolling machine. Both of these processes are performed by experts and have to follow (cold rolling close annealed) CRCA sheet specifications.

As we all know, steel is formed by melting specific quantities of various metals including iron, manganese, nickel, boron, cobalt, and more. Since each of these metals have a different melting point, all steel is produced in a setting where the temperature reaches up to 3000-degree Fahrenheit. Once these metals melt, the melted solution is turned into steel bars, rods, and slabs.

As the name suggests, in the cold rolling process, the temperature is manipulated to get the desired shape. Unlike the hot rolling process, where the raw steel is reheated above 1700-degree Fahrenheit, in the cold rolling process, there’s no reheating and the raw steel is already half cool. Because of this, the finished product is slightly more precise and has sharper corners.

One of the main reasons for using a cold rolled sheet of steel is that it has better strength. The strain hardening of cold rolled sheets is 20% higher than hot rolled steel sheets.

Cold rolled sheets, also known as CR sheets have lower ductility. The ductility of a CR sheet refers to its ability to undergo deformation. It shows the resistance of a CRCA sheet before it sustains a fracture.

When the CRCA sheet reaches its ductility limit, the fracture is visible and impacts the quality of steel. Therefore, cold-rolled sheets can be used only for making some steel shapes such as square, round, and flat. It’s best for uses that do not involve much flexing movement such as shelves, frying pan, computer cabinets, etc.

This is all you need to know about the cold rolling steel process and CRCA sheets. If you want to know more about CRCA sheet specifications or want CR sheets, feel free to reach out to the experts today.
