What is the difference between cold rolling and hot rolling?
Hot-rolled steel is rolled at high temperatures. Cold-rolled steel plates have better strength, while cold-rolled hot-rolled steel plates have better ductility. Generally, the thickness of cold rolling is relatively small, while the thickness of hot rolling can be larger. Cold plates are used for cold-formed spring sheets and other parts. The thickness is pretty standard. When not rusty, it looks a bit bright like stainless steel; the hot-rolled surface is rough.
