Cold Rolled Steel Square Tube

Cold rolled steel tubing this steel tubing begins as hot rolled steel but is processed even further to create a more finished surface and provide additional strength.

Cold rolled steel square tube.

Used in general fabrication where strength is a requirement. It is commonly used for parts requiring cold forming such as crimping swaging or bending. The term cold rolling describes the process quite well. Steel stock passes through a series of rollers to be flattened out and reshaped as steel tubing.

It can also be used for shafts machinery parts bolts pinions gears as well as in the creation of furniture appliances and other consumer goods. Our available stock sizes. It is measured by taking the outer walls which are the same size and then the wall thickness. Steel pipe square tubing round tubing rectangular tubing rebar round bar square bar tube pipe hot rolled coil cold rolled coil galvanised coil cold formed section lipped channels.

Advantages of using hot rolled steel tubes since there is less processing involved with hot rolled square steel tubing it is usually less expensive than cold rolled steel tubing. We stand to remain the premium steel supplier in south africa and ensure that we remain the top steel merchant in south africa. It is commonly referred to as hss meaning hollow structural section. 1ft 2ft 3ft 4ft 5ft 6ft 7ft 8ft 20ft and 24ft.

Cold roll steel round tube tubing 143 products we carry cold roll steel round tubing in a513 and 1018 metric. Refine search start new search. Thus the yield strength of cold rolled steel is higher than that of hot rolled steel. The rolls induce plastic deformation.

Two methods of rolling determine the steel tubing s overall strength as well as it s desirability for certain projects cold rolling and hot rolling. In addition to improvement of mechanical properties the cold rolling produces steel plate sheet of the desired physical dimensions. Sort by displaying 1 25 of 143 results. This process is more suited for applications that have strict tolerance straightness and surface condition requirements because cold rolling is a more precise finishing method.

Hot rolled steel is also more malleable making it easier to bend and form the tubes into your desired shape. 1018 steel is the most common type of steel used when making cold rolled steel. As an example a hot rolled steel product may have a yield strength of 235 mpa. It contains all the typical traits of steel strength some ductility and comparative ease of machining but the process of cold rolling gives is a smooth finish and better properties than those of hot rolled steel.

Cold rolled steel has an improved surface finish and tighter tolerances compared to hot rolled steel.
