How to distinguish cold formed section steel and hot rolled section steel?

Answer:

The difference between cold-formed steel and welded steel tubes is that welded steel pipes are mainly used for conveying fluids, such as gas and tap water. Petroleum, liquefied petroleum gas, steam, etc. The steel tube is subjected to a certain amount of pressure, while the cold-formed steel is used to make the structure. Under the action of external force, the cold-formed steel is required for the section, shape, size and mechanical properties of the section steel.
Cold-formed steel is one of many varieties of steel in the strip width, under normal temperature conditions after the roll, a group of vertical deformation gradually, to meet the requirements of the use of shape and size, then determine the size of the corresponding shear length. This product is cold-formed steel. Of course, it is also possible to obtain cold-formed steel by stamping, bending or drawing. But the roll bending forming method is suitable for industrial production in large quantities. Its product quality, processing cost and production efficiency are incomparable with other methods, and it is the main production process of cold-formed steel. If the equipment is equipped with welding equipment (such as high-frequency welding, argon arc welding, etc.), it can also produce cold rolled steel with closed section.
Hot rolled steel is a kind of steel with various geometrical cross section formed by heating billet. According to the different angles can be divided into flat steel, steel section, steel and I-shaped steel and hot-rolled L steel; steel according to the different section shape, divided into simple and complex section or section section and section three steel cycle:The characteristics of the simple section are the cross section, any point on the periphery as a tangent, generally not cross section, such as round steel, square steel, six angle steel, flat steel, triangular steel, arch steel and elliptical steel.Complex sections include angle steel, I-beam, channel steel, T steel, H steel, Z steel, rail, steel plate pile, window frame steel and other miscellaneous section steel;The periodic section shape and dimension along the length direction of the steel section changing periodically, such as rebar, axle and steel ploughshare.
Cold-formed steel is a product of various cross sections bent in cold form with steel plates or strips. Cold formed section steel is an economical light section steel, also called cold-formed steel section or cold bending section. Cold-formed steel is the main material for making light steel structures. It has various kinds of super thin and reasonable shapes and complicated sections which can not be produced by hot rolling. Compared with hot-rolled steel, in the same section area, turning radius can be increased by 50 ~ 60%, moment of inertia can be increased 0.5 ~ 3 times, so it can be more reasonable to use the strength of the material; and ordinary steel structure (from traditional I-beam, channel steel and angle steel and steel plate made of steel structure comparison) that can save steel by 30 ~ 50%.
