Typical thickness is from 2 to 20 mm. The maximum width is 1,860 mm.

2. Pipe (Heavy Pipe) - A flat plate Steel coil that is bent and welded into a tube. It can be found on the market for final use. A heavy-wall pipe is technically used to transport fluids (for example, oil, gases, water, and chemicals).

3. Hot-Rolled Coil (Hot Rolled Steel) - A coil of Steel rolled on a hot-strip mill (hot-rolled coil). It can be found on the market in coil or in sheets and is further processed into finished products by the manufacturer. The various types of hot rolled Steel have applications in virtually all sectors of industry. For example, transport, construction, shipbuilding, gas containers, pressure vessels, energy pipelines.

5. Cold-rolled Coil (Cold Rolled Steel or Full hard Steel) - Obtained by a further thickness reduction of a pickled hot rolled coil. This step is achieved at low temperature in a cold-reduction mill. Cold-rolled Coil can be found on the market in coil, but requires a further heating process before being manufactured into finished products. The various types of Cold-rolled Steel are used as primary material for finished cold rolled coils and coated coils.Typical thickness is from 0.15 to 3 mm. Typical width is from 600 to 2,100 mm.

6. Finished Cold Rolled Coil (Annealed and Tempered Cold Rolled Steel) - Obtained by heat treatment (annealing) and strain-hardening of a Cold Rolled Steel in a way to achieve final mechanical properties that make the Steel suitable for further uses (forming and bending). Finished Cold Rolled Steel includes a wide range of different Steels which can be classified into the following main groups: formable Steels, high strength formable Steels, weathering structural Steels, structural Steels, hardenable Steels. It can be found on the market in coil or in sheets and is further processed into finished products by the manufacturer.

Finished Cold-rolled Steel features excellent forming properties, electromagnetic properties, paintability, weldability, and is suitable for fabrication by forming, pressing and bending. Applications include domestic applications, automotive applications, lighting fixtures, electrical components (stators, rotors), various kinds of sections roofing applications, profiled sheets, and wall elements.Typical thickness is from 0.3 to 3 mm. Typical width is from 600 to 2,100 mm.

7. Electrogalvanized Coil (Electrogalvanized Steel) - Obtained by electro-plating Finished Cold Rolled Steel with a thin layer of zinc or zinc-nickel to provide corrosion resistance. Electro-galvanized Coil can be found on the market in coil or in sheets and is further processed into finished products by the manufacturer. Electro-galvanized Coil features excellent forming properties, paintability, weldability, and is suitable for fabrication by forming, pressing and bending. Applications include domestic applications, building applications (for example, wall elements, roofing applications, automotive applications (for example, body in white for vehicles underbody auto parts), lighting fixtures, drums and various kinds of sections applications, profiled sheets. Typical thickness is from 0.3 to 3 mm. Typical width is from 600 to 2,100 mm.

8. Hot Dip Galvanized Coil (Hot Dip Galvanized Steel) - Obtained by passing Cold Rolled Coil through a molten zinc bath, in order to coat the steel with a thin layer of zinc to provide corrosion resistance. Hot Dip Galvanized Coil can be found on the market in coil or in sheets and is further processed into finished products by the manufacturer.

Hot Dip Galvanized Coil features excellent forming properties, paintability, weldability, and is suitable for fabrication by forming, pressing and bending.
