CRC (Cold Rolled Coil)

What Is CRC?

CRC arises from further processing of hot rolled steel. By passing the steel through cold reduction mills at near-ambient temperatures, the material is compressed for refined thickness tolerances, improved flatness, and an appealing finish. This meticulous approach unlocks optimal mechanical properties for downstream operations.

Prime Characteristics

• Close Dimensional Tolerances: Achieves consistent thicknesses that streamline high-precision assembly.
• Smooth Surface Finish: Ideal for painting, coating, or electroplating without extensive prep work.
• Increased Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Typically surpasses similar hot rolled products, allowing lighter, sturdier designs.
• Enhanced Formability: Suitable for deep drawing, bending, and other shape transformations.

Where CRC Shines

1. Automotive & Transportation
   • Body Panels & Structural Parts: Uniform, high-strength sheets translate to safer, more efficient vehicles.
   • Truck & Trailer Components: CRC tolerates rigorous demands, maintaining integrity over long distances.
2. Appliance & Consumer Goods
   • Enclosures & Casings: Elevate product aesthetics with a premium outer shell that handles painting flawlessly.
   • Internal Mechanisms: Precise thickness control empowers complex designs in washers, dryers, and more.
3. Construction & Architecture
   • Roofing & Cladding: Creates visually appealing exteriors while defending against environmental factors.
   • Partition Walls & Ceiling Panels: Flat, even sheets ensure easy installation with minimal waste.
4. Industrial Fabrication
   • Tubes & Sections: Form CRC into specialized shapes for conveyor systems, structural frames, or shelving.
   • Machinery Components: Leverage its balanced physical properties to produce reliable, durable parts.

• Timely Communication: We provide regular shipping updates for accurate inventory forecasting, avoiding costly downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does CRC differ from HRC (Hot Rolled Coil)?
CRC undergoes additional rolling at low temperatures, resulting in tighter thickness tolerances, a cleaner surface, and stronger mechanical attributes compared to hot rolled materials.

2. What coil widths and thicknesses are available?
We offer a wide selection, commonly ranging from 0.3 mm to several millimeters in thickness, and widths spanning 600 mm to 2000 mm. Specific requests can be accommodated.

3. Are coil edges trimmed or mill edge?
Depending on the order, we can supply trimmed edges for uniform width and smoother handling, or mill edges for customers who need less processing.

4. Does Zaeki provide coil slitting or cut-to-length services?
Yes. Upon request, we’ll arrange slitting or cut-to-length options for precise sheets or custom coil dimensions tailored to your manufacturing processes.

5. Can CRC be galvanized or coated after delivery?
Absolutely. Cold rolled steel is well-suited for various post-processing treatments, such as galvanizing, electroplating, painting, or powder coating.
