Cold rolled steel is rolled at room temperature and then rolled again below its recrystallization temperature. This process enables better control over finished product shape, thickness, dimensions, and a more consistent finish.

Alliance Steel offers a wide range of cold-rolled materials in various gauges and grades and in-house state-of-the-art processing capabilities. Cold-rolled steel sheets have been further processed and are typically more durable than hot rolled steel sheets.
With extensive mill relationships all around the country, Alliance Steel has the ability to source commonly used grades like:
For more information on cold-rolled grades please contact Alliance Steel.
ASTM A1008 is a standard specification for cold-rolled steel. This standard includes mild to high strength grades. While creating A1008 cold-rolled steel, the material develops a high integrity surface that is typically oiled to prevent corrosion and aging. As a result, cold-rolled ASTM A1008 material can have excellent characteristics in weldability and formability.

Hot rolled steel is steel that has undergone the rolling process at a temperature above its recrystallization temperature (usually 1700° F or greater). Compared to unprocessed steel, the processed material exhibits greater formability and workability, making it easier to work with in subsequent processing operations.
The hot rolling process starts with a large, rectangular slab of metal referred to as a billet. First, the billet is heated and compressed into a large roll. While still hot, it passes through a series of rotating rollers to achieve the desired dimensions. In sheet metal production operations, the rolled steel is then wound into coiled rolls and left to cool. In production operations involving other forms, the processed material is cut into the specified units and packaged.
Hot rolled steel offers several manufacturing advantages, such as:
Since hot rolled steel shrinks slightly during the cooling stage, there is a lesser degree of control over its final shape. For this reason, it is typically used in applications that do not require extremely tight tolerances, such as:
