Hot Rolled Steel
Hot rolled steel is a versatile material, offered in various finishes including the dry form and fully skin-passed for a smoother surface, as well as pickled & oiled for enhanced protection against corrosion.
It caters to diverse applications by also being available in a selection of high carbon steels, known for their strength and durability, and boron steels, valued for their excellent hardenability.
Furthermore, it encompasses a comprehensive range of COR-TEN weather resistant steels, distinguished by their unique ability to form a protective rust layer when exposed to the weather, thereby virtually eliminating the need for painting. This feature makes COR-TEN steels particularly valuable in applications where durability and low maintenance are key considerations.

Where this material is used
Construction
Hot rolled steel is used in the construction of buildings, bridges, and other structures due to its robustness and ability to withstand external pressures. It's commonly used in structural components such as beams, columns, and frames.
Automotive
In the automotive industry, hot rolled steel is used for components that require high strength and durability, such as chassis, wheels, and certain internal parts.
Railroad
Railroads use hot rolled steel to manufacture rail tracks and other structural components. Its high resistance to wear and tear makes it ideal for the heavy-duty requirements of rail infrastructure.
Shipbuilding
Hot rolled steel plates are extensively used in shipbuilding for constructing the hulls of ships and other marine vessels, as these structures require materials that can withstand harsh marine environments.
Agricultural Equipment
Manufacturers of agricultural machinery and equipment use hot rolled steel for parts such as chassis, bodies, and frames of tractors and combines, owing to its strength and ability to withstand harsh working conditions.
Energy
Hot rolled steel is used in the energy sector, particularly in oil and gas pipelines and infrastructure. It is also employed in constructing wind turbine towers and other components due to its toughness and fatigue resistance.
