Hot Rolled sheets

H.R. sheets, also known as Hot Rolled sheets, are a type of steel sheet product that is manufactured through the hot rolling process. Hot rolling involves heating the steel above its recrystallization temperature and passing it through a series of rollers to reduce its thickness and shape it into the desired form.

During the hot rolling process, the steel is heated to high temperatures, typically above 1000 degrees Celsius, which makes it easier to deform and shape. The steel is then passed through multiple rollers that apply pressure to compress and elongate it into a long sheet of the desired thickness.

H.R. sheets have several characteristics and applications:

Surface Finish: The surface of H.R. sheets has a characteristic scale (oxide layer) due to the high temperatures involved in the rolling process. This scale can be rough, and the sheets may have a somewhat oxidized appearance.

Strength and Ductility: H.R. sheets exhibit excellent strength and ductility due to the high-temperature processing, which aligns the crystal structure of the steel and improves its mechanical properties.

Versatility: H.R. sheets come in various thicknesses and sizes, making them versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications.

Cost-Effective: Hot rolled sheets are generally more cost-effective than their cold-rolled counterparts because they require less processing and energy during manufacturing.

Applications of H.R. sheets:

Construction: H.R. sheets are commonly used in the construction industry for making structural components, such as beams, columns, and girders.

Industrial Equipment: They are used in manufacturing various industrial equipment, including machinery, storage tanks, and agricultural implements.

Automotive: H.R. sheets are utilized in the automotive industry to manufacture parts such as chassis components and brackets.

Pipes and Tubes: H.R. sheets can be further processed to produce pipes and tubes used in various applications.

General Fabrication: They are widely used in general fabrication and welding applications.
