HRC and CRCsteel are two popular types of steel in the industrial sector, but they have distinct characteristics. Let’s explore with CCN to help you choose the right steel for your needs!

Criteria	Hot Rolled Coil Steel	Cold Rolled Coil Steel
Surface Finish	Characteristic dark blue-black surface	Bright white with a high gloss finish.
Thickness	1.0mm or more	0.15mm to 2mm
Tolerance	Larger tolerance due to high-temperature production, causing deformation and less control	Smaller tolerance thanks to strict cooling control and the use of cooling solutions
Precision	Less precise	More precise final dimensions
Edge Quality	Rounded and rough edges, prone to rusting over time	Straight and sharp edges
Physical Properties	Softer and weaker due to structural changes caused by high-temperature heating	Harder, stronger, and meets higher standards
Price	Much cheaper due to fewer processing requirements	More expensive as additional processing is needed for higher precision and quality
