Coating steel

Cold rolling
One of the further processes is cold rolling of strip. This is used to produce a thinner flatter product than is possible on a hot mill, down to a thickness of 0.15mm. Forming properties and surface finish of cold rolled strip is better.

Coating steel
To produce Corus Colorcoat® products coils of strip steel are heated in a hydrogen rich environment. This cleans the steel surface before passing it through a furnace with a temperature of around 750 degrees centigrade.
