Hot Rolled Sheets
Hot Rolled Sheets
Hot Rolled Sheets are produced from low-carbon steel and are ideal for applications involving bending, moderate drawing, and welding. They offer excellent formability and can be bent flat on themselves in any direction at room temperature without cracking, making them versatile for various fabrication and construction projects.
- A1011 CS Type B
- Low-carbon steel
- Hot-rolled, mill finish
- Excellent formability
Overview
Hot Rolled Steel Sheets are fundamental building blocks for industrial fabrication and construction projects across Los Angeles. Produced from low-carbon steel via the hot rolling process, these sheets offer exceptional versatility and cost-effectiveness. They conform to ASTM A1011 CS Type B standards, ensuring consistent quality for professional applications. Their slightly scaled surface provides an excellent base for painting, making them suitable for both structural and aesthetic purposes.
This product is characterized by its excellent formability, allowing for simple bending or moderate drawing without cracking. This makes Hot Rolled Sheets ideal for welding projects and fabrication where malleability is crucial. For Los Angeles contractors and manufacturers, these sheets serve as reliable materials for equipment panels, toolboxes, hoppers, and drip pans.
Hot rolled sheets often serve as the base material for various processed products including galvanized steel, corrugated metal sheets, and diamond plate. Their structural integrity supports various finishes, including galvanization for corrosion resistance in outdoor environments.
Available in standard sheet sizes and various thicknesses, hot rolled steel provides the backbone for construction projects ranging from commercial buildings to industrial facilities. Their compatibility with other steel products like square tubing, C channels, and I-beams makes them essential components in comprehensive building systems.

How to Measure & Specify
To specify Hot Rolled Sheets:
- Thickness: Specify in gauge or decimal inches (e.g., 16 ga or 0.0598").
- Dimensions: Provide width ? length (e.g., 48" ? 96").
- Quantity: Number of sheets or total square feet.
- Grade: Typically ASTM A1011 CS Type B.
- Edges: Mill edge (as-rolled) is standard.
- Surface: Hot-rolled with mill scale (specify if pickled & oiled is needed).
Measurement Tip: Thickness is measured with a caliper or gauge. Standard sheet sizes are typically ordered as Width ? Length ? Thickness.
