Slabs can be processed into hot-rolled bands, most of which are supplied to re-rollers. Hot-rolled bands can be processed into hot-rolled no.1 coils through annealing and pickling, and such coils are mainly sold to coil centers, pipe makers and re-rollers.
Cold-rolled coils are made by cold rolling, annealing, pickling and skin-passing of hot-rolled coils. E with thinner thickness, better size tolerance, smooth surfaces, and greater processability. Cold-rolled coils are used in automobiles, kitchenware, home appliances, as well as the construction, aerospace, petrochemical, food, machinery and transportation industries.
