Hot rolled
Hot rolled steel is the most basic form of carbon steel. Its surface typically has scale, the remnants of cooling from extreme temperatures.
Applications: Construction, industrial machinery, shipbuilding, tubing, and appliance parts
Hot rolled pickled and oiled
Following the same process as hot rolled steel, this steel is run through an acid bath. Removing surface oxides, oil is then added to provide a rust-resistant surface.
Applications: Storage tanks and bins, bridge construction, mining, machinery, automotive freight, and passenger cars
Hot rolled pickled dry
When adding oil will complicate future applications, steel should undergo this process. Helping to remove mill scale from a hot rolled coil, the process also helps to reduce – and prevent – rust.
Applications: Storage tanks and bins, bridge construction, mining, machinery, automotive freight, and passenger cars
Cold rolled
Cold rolled steel is rolled below its recrystallization temperature, maximizing tonnage and helping to increase the steel’s strength by up to 20%.
Applications: Refrigerators, stoves, washers, dryers, and a range of small appliances. Cold rolled steel is also used for a wide variety of automotive parts
Cold rolled full hard
Unannealed cold rolled coil with a high hardness, cold rolled full hard steel is ideal for applications where strength, hardness, and long-term durability are a priority.
Applications: Shelving units, umbrellas, and pipe
Cold rolled painted
Offering the same properties as cold rolled steel, this steel has been painted after the rolling process to enhance its appearance.
Applications: Automobile parts, furniture, shelving, cabinets, toolboxes, and lighting
Hot dipped galvanized
Put through a molten zinc bath to add a protective coating, this process aims to prevent the formation of rust and is especially useful in applications where environmental exposure is a concern.
Applications: Automobile bodies, houses, air conditioner housings, electrical towers, highway signs, wrought iron gates, and metal pails
Galvannealed
Easy to paint and extremely rust-proof, this process combines galvanizing and annealing. Resulting in a very fine, grey matte finish that acts as a primer, the coating does not flake when formed, stamped, or bent.
Applications: Automotive, signage, and electric equipment
Galvalume
Offering superior corrosion resistance, galvalume steel is coated with an aluminum-zinc alloy. The result is a finish that is well-suited for heavy machinery and outdoor equipment.
Applications: Trailers, appliances, automotive, agricultural equipment, and products
Electrogalvanized
During this process, a layer of zinc is bonded to steel to provide a defense against corrosion. With lower thickness deposits, comparable performance, and broader conversion coating availability, electrogalvanized steel provides a bright, clean appearance.
Applications: Trailers, appliances, automotive, and agricultural equipment
Electro zinc nickel
The electro zinc nickel process is a technique that applies a thin layer of nickel onto steel. Whether it aims to be decorative, provide corrosion and wear resistance, or build up undersized parts, this process results in a sturdy, aesthetically appealing finish.
Applications: Tubing, office furniture, automobile tanks, trunks, and fenders
Aluminized
Aiming to reduce corrosion and preserve the properties of the base steel at temperatures below 1472˚F, aluminized steel is coated – on both sides – with an aluminum-silicon alloy.
Applications: Water heaters, furnaces, stoves, and space heaters
