Stainless steel sheets are widely used in daily industrial fields, but in the daily inquiry and quotation, there are still many customers who cannot distinguish stainless steel cold rolling and hot rolling. Today, our product knowledge lecture hall would like to explain the difference between cold rolling and hot rolling of stainless steel.

Here we will explain to you a few points:
1. Different Names:
Generlly, the surface of the cold-rolled stainless steel plate is bright, smooth and beautiful, which we generally call the 2B surface; the surface of the hot-rolled stainless steel plate belongs to the industrial surface, rough surface, and feels a little tactile, which we generally call it NO.1 surface.
(The picture below is cold rolled 2B)

2. Different Colors:
The stainless steel cold-rolled sheet has a smooth surface, and silver-white is the most common;
The surface smoothness of the hot-rolled stainless steel sheet is lower than that of the cold-rolled stainless steel sheet, and the color is darker than that of the cold-rolled stainless steel sheet, showing a gray-white color.

3. The Edges Are Different:
The stainless steel cold-rolled sheet has a finer and smoother texture with edges;
Stainless steel hot-rolled sheets are rough in texture, not good like the cold-rolled, and sometimes have irregular edges.
4. Features Are Different:
Cold Rolled Sheet:
1). Cold-rolled stainless steel has a certain degree of work hardening, low toughness, and high price;
2). The cold-rolled surface has no oxide scale, and the quality is good;
3). The products made by cold deformation have high dimensional accuracy and good surface quality.
Hot Rolled Sheet:
1). The toughness and surface flatness are poor, and the price is lower than cold rolled sheet;
2). The temperature of hot rolling is similar to that of forging;
3). The hot plate is processed by hot rolling, and the surface has oxide skin, and the thickness of the plate is bigger than cold rolled type.
