Hot rolled, cold rolled, and more...

There is a lot of jargon floating around when we talk about steel plates and sheets.

Hot Rolled, Cold Rolled, Annealed, Pickled & Oiled, and Tempered are just some of the finishing processes used in making sheet steel.

On top of that, there are a number of steel grades that are commonly made into sheets and plates - A36, A572-50, Corten, and more.

Each of these combinations of steel grade and processes produces a steel sheet or plate with distinct properties, suitable for different needs.
