Cold-rolled carbon steel is highly favored by our clientele for its workability. Essentially, it is hot-rolled steel that undergoes extra processing, which results in a sharper edge, improved surface quality, and more precise dimensions. Cold-rolled steel offers superior refinement and tends to be slightly stronger and harder compared to its hot-rolled counterpart. Due to these advantages, cold-rolled steel is better suited for bending and fabrication tasks.
Our mild steel is the preferred option for fabricators, welders, machinists, prototypers, and anyone in need of a sturdy, dependable component that is easy to manipulate.
A36-HRPO Steel
| Thickness | Metric | Tolerance | Min Size | Max Size | Min Hole | Min Bridge |

A36-HRPO (Hot-Rolled Pickled and Oiled) steel is a top choice among Fabworks' clients for its adaptability and resilience. Unlike cold-rolled steel, A36-HRPO is processed in a way that maintains the steel's natural strength while enhancing its workability.
Essentially, A36-HRPO starts as hot-rolled steel and undergoes a pickling and oiling process. This procedure removes any scale from the surface and coats it with oil, providing better surface quality and making it more suitable for bending and fabrication tasks.
A36-HRPO steel is recognized as an ideal choice for fabricators, welders, machinists, prototypers, and others in search of a robust and dependable material that's easy to manipulate. This type of steel combines the benefits of hot-rolled strength with improved surface finish, meeting the unique needs of various manufacturing and laser cutting services we offer.
