Manufacturing process

Cold Rolled Steel manufacturing process

The manufacturing process involves cold rolling the Hot Rolled Steel at room temperature to achieve the desired thickness.

First, the Hot Rolled Steel Plates are pickled to remove surface oxides, and then cold rolling is performed to produce thin and uniform steel sheets. Afterwards, the material undergoes a heat treatment (annealing) process to adjust its strength, and if necessary, surface coating (such as zinc or aluminum) is applied to enhance corrosion resistance and workability. Through this process, Cold Rolled Steel Plates are completed as products with high surface quality and precise thickness, suitable for use in various industries.

Hynndai Steel's intergrated steelworks manufacture hot-rolled and cold-rolled coils, heavy plates, pipes, and lightweight automotive parts out of iron ore and coal. By melting lumps of raw materials, molten metal is generated in blast furnaces, after which it is purified in the steelmaking process and then goes on to the continuous casting process to make slabs that can also be hardened half-finished products. Those of slabs are thoroughly rolled at a high temperature (above 1,100℃) in order to make hot-rolled coils. After that, the cold-rolled coils are made by rolling the HRC (hot-rolled coils) at room temperature to process for final usage, which is mainly for lightweight automotive parts.

Hyundai Steel’s electric arc furnace uses steel scrap to manufacture sections, reinforcing bars, and railway rails that are used for buildings, bridges and railways. After melting the steel scrap to make molten metal, it is then smelted to eliminate impurities before proceeding to the continuous casting process to manufacture halffinished products, such as blooms and billets. These half-finished products can be rolled by reheating to increase their size as finished products, such as sections and reinforcing bars, in various sizes and thickness.
