Applications for cold-rolled steel are usually where thinner sheet metal is required and where the products are to be painted or otherwise surface treated. Our programme of cold-rolled sheet is based upon low-carbon steel with only relatively small alloy additions. The hardness has been reduced by annealing in protective atmosphere after cold rolling thereby promoting a formability ranging from good to excellent, depending on grade. Cold rolled sheets can be manufactured in various types of steel, from soft steels for pressing and bending to ultra high strength steels.
