The hot-rolled products of are widely used in various industries, such as marine, automobile, bridge, construction, and pressure vessels.
 

Hot rolling is a mill process which involves rolling the steel at a high temperature (typically at a temperature over 1700° F), which is above the steel's recrystallization temperature. When steel is above the recrystallization temperature, it can be shaped and formed easily, and the steel can be made in much larger sizes. Hot rolled steel is typically cheaper than cold rolled steel due to the fact that it is often manufactured without any delays in the process, and therefore the reheating of the steel is not required (as it is with cold rolled). When the steel cools off it will shrink slightly thus giving less control on the size and shape of the finished product when compared to cold rolled.

Hot rolled products like hot rolled steel bars are used in the welding and construction trades to make railroad tracks and I-beams, for example. Hot rolled steel is used in situations where precise shapes and tolerances are not required.

Hot rolled steel is ideal for products where tight tolerances are not required.

Hot rolled steel is steel that has been roll-pressed at very high temperatures-over 1,700˚F, which is above the re-crystallization temperature for most steels. This makes the steel easier to form, and resulting in products that are easier to work with.

To process hot rolled steel, manufacturers first start with a large, rectangular length of metal, called a billet. The billet is heated and then sent for pre-processing, where it is flattened into a large roll. From there, it is kept at a high temperature and run through a series of rollers to achieve its finished dimensions. The white-hot strands of steel are pushed through the rollers at high speeds. For sheet metal, rolled steel is spun into coils and left to cool. For other forms, such as bars or plates, materials are sectioned and packaged.

Steel shrinks slightly as it cools. Since hot rolled steel is cooled after processing, there is less control over its final shape, making it less suitable for precision applications. Hot rolled steel is often used in applications where minutely specific dimensions aren't crucial. Railroad tracks and construction projects often use hot rolled steel.

Hot rolled steel can often be identified by the following characteristics:

• A scaled surface-a remnant of cooling from extreme temperatures
• Slightly rounded edges and corners for bar and plate products (due to shrinkage and less precise finishing)
• Slight distortions, where cooling may result in slightly trapezoidal forms, as opposed to perfectly squared angles

What are the benefits of hot rolled steel?

Hot rolled steel typically requires much less processing than cold rolled steel, which makes it a lot cheaper. Because hot rolled steel is allowed to cool at room temperature, it's essentially normalized-meaning it's free from internal stresses that can arise from quenching or work-hardening processes.

Hot rolled steel is ideal where dimensional tolerances aren't as important as overall material strength, and where surface finish isn't a key concern. Where surface finish is a concern, scaling can be removed by grinding, sand blasting, or acid-bath pickling. Once scaling has been removed, various brush or mirror finishes can also be applied. Descaled steel also offers a better surface for painting and other surface coatings.

Established in 1998, Runfei Steel Group has developed into a large-scaled enterprise, located in the city of Tianjin, which is the largest artificial harbor in north China. With convenient transportation advantage of Tianjin, intellectual marketing network, powerful system of storage, processing and distribution, and good reputation, Runfei has successfully set up a win-win platform between mills and clients.

Runfei started its oversea trading since 2004 when it obtained the import and export license of proprietary trading, providing the international standard processing and distribution service for customers all over the world.

The headquarter of Runfei Steel Group is located in the CBD of Tianjin economical development region - Airport Economic Area.With the continuous expanding of business, Runfei had established Tianjin Runfei Trade Co., Ltd, Runfei (HK) Co., Limited, Tianjin Runfang Steel Processing Co., Ltd, andTianjin Runfei Steel Processing Co., Ltd. Runfei now owns one processing center for hot rolled steel and the other for cold rolled steel, both are located in Tianjin TEDA Industry Area, taking up over 113,220 square meters. The storage capacity of Runfei is 70,000 metric tons and the annual comprehensive processing capacity comes to 1 million metric tons.

Our goal is to become the comprehensive service center combined with proccessing, assorting and storage. Our mission is to be the pioneer of cost solution and service concept in steel industry chain.
