Cold-rolled sheet steel is produced from hot-rolled sheet with additional processing steps such as pickling, cold reduction, annealing and temper rolling.

Cold-rolled steel is a product that has been cold reduced, as opposed to hot-rolled, in order to impart specific mechanical properties, surface finish, gauge tolerance and strip shape. The benefits of cold-rolled sheet is excellent performance in operations that require deep drawing and intricate bending and forming.

Cold-rolled is easy to weld and preparation of its uniform surface for application of finishes is simple and affordable. High-strength, cold-rolled sheet steels are used for weight reduction while increasing strength and durability that can result in cost reductions to customers.

This steel is used in appliance, automotive, electrical equipment, industrial containers and tubular products (mechanical and structural tubing).
