Hot Rolled & Cold Rolled Carbon Steel Coils for Structural and Manufacturing Use

How to Find the Right Carbon Steel Coil for Your Application

Most projects start from application and processing requirements rather than grade names alone. The guide below helps you quickly identify the right carbon steel coil direction.

Structural Parts & Load-Bearing Fabrication

If your project involves structural components, frames, or general construction use, hot rolled carbon steel coils are typically selected for their strength, weldability, and cost efficiency.

Commonly supplied grades include A36 / Q235 / S235JR y A572 / S355JR, suitable for structural fabrication and heavy-duty applications.

Cold Forming, Machining & General Manufacturing

For cold forming, machining, or general manufacturing where surface consistency and dimensional control are required, bobinas de acero al carbono laminadas en frío are commonly used.

Typical grades include DC01, 1018, 1023, 1045y A283 / Q195, covering a wide range of strength and formability requirements.

Carbon Steel Coil Overview

Carbon steel coil is produced by rolling steel slabs into continuous coils, with mechanical properties primarily controlled by carbon content, rolling process, and subsequent heat treatment.

Compared with alloy steel coils, carbon steel coils offer:

• Stable mechanical performance
• Good weldability and formability (by grade)
• Broad acceptance across global standards
• Cost-effective solutions for large-volume supply

Carbon steel coils are typically supplied as hot rolled coils (HRC) or further processed into cold rolled coils (CRC) through cold reduction and annealing processes below the recrystallization temperature.

Common Carbon Steel Coil Grades & Standards

Below are representative carbon steel coil grades currently available for structural, cold forming, and general manufacturing applications. Equivalent standards may be available upon request.
