Cold Rolled Steel
Coil
Flat rolled products for which the required final
thickness has been obtained by rolling at room
temperature, given a "temper" rating
based on the degree it was compressed
Cold rolling is a metallurgical process in which
metal is passed through a pair of rollers at a
temperature below its recrystallization temperature.
This process hardens the metal, by compressing
and stretching the metal crystals. During the
rolling process, the metal is annealed by heating
it above the recrystallization temperature after
every few rollings, to prevent it from becoming
brittle and cracking.
