Hot rolled steel coil (HRC coil) is a fundamental industrial material produced by rolling steel at high temperatures, above its recrystallization point. This process creates a versatile product with a characteristic scaled surface, known for its excellent formability and strength. At ChinaCNU Steel, with over 15 years of expertise, we supply high-quality hot rolled steel coils from our Qingdao factory to global markets. This page details the specifications, applications, and advantages of sourcing your HR steel coil from a reliable manufacturer and exporter.

FAQ
What is the difference between hot rolled coil (HRC) and cold rolled coil (CRC)?
Hot rolled steel coil is processed at high temperatures, making it more malleable and resulting in a scaled surface. It is generally used where precise shapes and tolerances are less critical. Cold rolled coil is processed further at room temperature, providing a smoother surface, tighter dimensional tolerances, and higher strength, but at a higher cost. HRC coil is ideal for structural applications, while CRC is often used for appliances and automotive panels.
Can you supply hot rolled pickled and oiled (HRPO) coils?
Yes, we regularly supply hot rolled pickled oiled coils. The pickling process removes the mill scale from the hot rolled surface, and the oiling prevents rust during storage and transit. This product offers a cleaner surface than standard HRC and is ready for painting or further fabrication, making it a popular choice for many manufacturers.
What are the standard payment terms for importing HR steel coil from China?
Our standard and most secure payment terms for international buyers are by T/T (Telegraphic Transfer) or L/C (Letter of Credit). Typically, we request a 30% deposit with order confirmation, with the 70% balance paid before shipment. We are flexible and can discuss terms that provide mutual security and trust for first-time and repeat customers.
What is the typical lead time for a 25-ton order of HRC coil?
For a standard specification order at our 25-ton MOQ, the typical production and preparation lead time is between 15 to 25 days from receipt of your deposit and confirmed order. This timeframe includes final inspection and export packing. We always strive to provide a precise delivery schedule upon order confirmation.
