SteelCorrectly choosing betweenHot Roll and
Cold Roll
Background The difference between the two is the
temperature at which they are processed. Hot
Roll is processed above the re-crystallization
temperature. Its grains reform after the rolling
process and it is left in a stress-free state.
Cold Roll is processed below the
re-crystallization temperature. Its grains
remain flattened and elongated, leaving the
material in an anisotropic state and full of cold
work.
