Description
Hot rolled round rod refers to a type of steel rod that is formed through a hot rolling process. During hot rolling, a cylindrical billet of steel is heated to high temperatures and passed through a series of rollers to shape it into the desired diameter and length. This process occurs above the recrystallization temperature of the steel, which allows for easier shaping and deformation. Hot rolled round rods typically have a rougher surface finish compared to cold drawn or cold finished rods due to the nature of the hot rolling process. However, they retain the inherent strength and durability of the steel material. The diameter of hot rolled round rods can vary widely, ranging from small fractions of an inch to several inches, depending on the specific application and requirements. Hot rolled round rods find extensive use in construction, manufacturing, fabrication, and various industrial applications. They are commonly used in structural components, machinery parts, shafts, axles, and general fabrication due to their high strength, machinability, and cost-effectiveness. Additionally, hot rolled round rods are often preferred for applications where surface finish is not critical, and where the focus is on strength and structural integrity.
