Cold-rolled steel is manufactured by passing hot-rolled coils through cold reduction mills at room temperature, producing a smooth, bright surface finish and precise dimensional tolerances. This work-hardening process increases yield and tensile strengths while improving straightness and formability.

Widely used in applications that demand tight gauges and superior surface quality—such as automotive body panels, appliance housings, furniture, and precision tubing—cold-rolled steel combines exceptional aesthetic appeal with reliable mechanical performance. Continuous annealing and temper rolling further tailor its properties to meet diverse engineering requirements.
