Steel coils are finished products, available as sheets or strips, wound after rolling. They can be hot or cold-rolled, and come in various types such as stainless, carbon, or galvanized steel. HXH Steel specializes in providing different kinds of steel coils at competitive prices.
In the automotive sector, steel coils are utilized to manufacture car bodies, chassis, and other components. Their high tensile strength ensures vehicle safety and longevity.
Steel coils are integral in producing household appliances like refrigerators, washing machines, and ovens. Their versatility and corrosion resistance make them suitable for various manufacturing applications.
Steel coils are essential in construction, used for creating structural frameworks, roofing, and cladding. Their durability and strength make them ideal for large-scale infrastructure projects.
The duration for which steel coils stay hot depends on several factors, including the initial temperature, coil size, and environmental conditions. Typically, steel coils are heated during manufacturing processes like hot rolling, where temperatures can reach up to 1,200°C (2,192°F). Once removed from the heat source, they begin to cool down. In an industrial setting, it can take several hours for a steel coil to cool to room temperature. However, the cooling rate can be accelerated using controlled cooling methods such as water quenching or air cooling. Proper handling and safety measures are essential during this cooling period to prevent accidents and ensure quality.
