Is the steel deck cold rolled or hot rolled

Recently, I saw some netizens asking "is the steel deck  cold rolled or hot rolled? "

Today, let's give a brief answer to this question.

The steel deck is pressed by a cold-rolled steel sheet (steel coil) which is continuously hot-dip galvanized.

Now let's briefly introduce the classification of steel plates.

Classification by thickness: thin plate, medium plate, thick plate, extra thick plate

Classified by surface characteristics: galvanized sheet (hot dip galvanized sheet, galvanized sheet), tinned sheet,composite plate, color coated steel plate

Therefore, we usually talk about The steel deck refers to the cold rolled substrate hot dip galvanizing

Advantages of cold rolling: There are no pitting and oxidation defects in hot rolling, good surface quality and high finish. Moreover, the dimension accuracy of cold rolled products is high.

Hot rolling characteristics: it is suitable for customers who have thick plates and no higher requirements. The process is simpler and the price is cheaper. For example, steel beams and steel columns will be hot rolled.
