Latest News and Developments:
Stainless steel HR coil is a type of steel produced through a high temperature rolling process. It involves heating the steel at high temperatures and then passing it through rollers to achieve the desired shape and thickness. It is made from the basic oxygen furnace steelmaking process or from blast furnaces and direct reduced iron (DRI) routes. It is available in various grades, each with different characteristics and applications. It often features a characteristic blackish-blue surface with an oily sheen. It has high corrosion resistance and is suitable for applications demanding high sustainability in chemical or wet environments. Stainless steel HR coil is cost-effective and has enhanced welding and shaping capabilities. It assists in offering high strength, improved ductility, and reduced cracking.
