Hot Rolled Steel – HR

Hot rolled products are used extensively for various applications including General Engineering, Automobile frame parts, Pipes and Tubes, Agricultural Equipment, Building Iron Structures, Bridges, Gas Containers-Cylinders, Ships Building, Machine Parts.

Hot-rolled steel products are widely used in many different industries due to their high strength as well as excellent formability, drawability, weldability, machinability and corrosion resistance.

Weather Resistant HRPO
Resistant to weathering, those resistant to corrosion caused by sulfuric acid from the combustion of fossil fuel and those resistant to salt contained seawater.

Products, Characteristics & Applications

Hot Rolled Mild Steel

Mild Steel has a low carbon content and is relatively soft, having a tensile strength of no greater than 340 MPa. Its good elongation and great formability make the steel popular for many applications ranging from regular to sophisticated machining. Its most common application is automotive parts.

Hot Rolled High Strength Steel (HSLA)

High Strength Steel is made by adding silicon, manganese, nickel, chromium, copper and other elements to carbon steel containing 0.2 percent of carbon for higher performance. With a tensile strength of about 50 kg/mm2, this steel features a reasonable level of strength and toughness. High Strength Steel can be classified into bake-hardening steel, solid-solution strengthening and precipitation hardening steel. It also has many variants: BH (Bake-Hardenable) steel, HSLA (high strength low alloy), R (rephosphorized) steel, IF (Interstitial Free) HSS and ATOS (Automobile Structural) steel.
