Hot-Rolled Steel(HR)
Hot-rolled steel is produced by rolling steel at high temperature (above recrystallization point). It has a rough mill scale surface and looser tolerances than cold-rolled, but is less expensive and widely stocked.
Steel Blank
A steel blank is a metal blank made from steel — typically carbon steel, stainless steel, or alloy steel — cut to size for further processing such as stamping, laser cutting, or machining.
Mill Finish
Mill finish is the surface condition of metal as it comes directly from the rolling mill — no additional polishing or treatment. It often has a dull, slightly rough appearance with mill scale on hot-rolled steel.
Powder Coating
Powder coating is a dry finishing process where electrostatically charged powder is applied to a metal surface and cured in an oven, producing a durable, even color finish superior to liquid paint.
