The difference between cold rolling and hot rolling

RELEASE TIME :

2023-07-11 13:23

Cold rolling and hot rolling are two commonly used forming processes for metal materials. They are very different in principle, process flow, mechanical equipment and product performance.

First of all, the principles of cold rolling and hot rolling are different. Cold rolling refers to the process of plastic deformation of metal materials at room temperature, while hot rolling refers to the process of plastic deformation at high temperatures. The main purpose of cold rolling is to form metal materials into the desired shape and size by pressing and stretching, such as cold-rolled steel sheets, cold-rolled steel strips, etc. Hot rolling mainly heats the metal material above its recrystallization temperature, and then undergoes plastic deformation to obtain higher surface quality and better mechanical properties, such as hot-rolled steel plates, hot-rolled steel strips, etc.

Secondly, the process flow of cold rolling and hot rolling is different. The cold rolling process generally includes the steps of raw material preparation, laying, pretreatment, cold rolling, annealing and surface treatment. Among them, the cold rolling process needs to go through multiple cold pressings to achieve the required thickness and size. The hot rolling process generally includes raw material preparation, heating, rough rolling, finishing rolling, cooling, leveling and other steps. In the hot rolling process, metal materials need to undergo plastic deformation at high temperature, so corresponding measures need to be taken to control the temperature and cooling rate to ensure product quality.

Again, the mechanical equipment of cold rolling and hot rolling are different. Cold rolling is generally processed by a cold rolling mill, which is mainly composed of a roller table, a transmission device, a roller system and a cooling device. Hot rolling needs to be processed by a hot rolling mill, which is mainly composed of heating equipment, rolls, roller tables and cooling devices. The hot rolling mill has high strength, high rigidity and wear resistance at high temperature to adapt to plastic deformation at high temperature.

Finally, the properties of cold-rolled and hot-rolled products are different. Due to the cold deformation during cold rolling, cold rolled products have high strength and hardness, but poor plasticity. In the hot rolling process, the grains of the metal material will recrystallize, and the hot rolled product has better plasticity and workability, but lower strength and hardness. Therefore, cold-rolled products are often used in occasions that require high strength and hardness, such as automobile manufacturing and machinery manufacturing, while hot-rolled products are often used in occasions that require high plasticity and workability, such as construction, shipbuilding and home appliance manufacturing. wait.

To sum up, there are obvious differences between cold rolling and hot rolling in terms of principle, process flow, mechanical equipment and product performance. Correct selection of cold rolling and hot rolling processes can obtain metal products that meet different needs.
