CRC and HRC

Cold rolled carbon steel (CRC) undergoes metallurgical processing where the metal is passed through rollers below its recrystallization temperature, hardening the metal by compressing and stretching crystals. The metal is annealed by intermittent heating to prevent brittleness. CRC is rated based on degree of compression from "skin-rolled" to "full hard". Hot rolled carbon steel (HRC) is produced by passing metal through rollers above its recrystallization temperature, allowing large deformations with fewer cycles. The process manipulates shape but does not affect microstructural properties as crystals have not yet formed. The material properties after hot rolling depend on factors like chemistry, temperatures, deformation rates, and cooling

What is CRC and HRC metals?

Cold rolled carbon steel and hot rolled carbon steel.

Cold rolling is a metallurgical process in which metal is passed through a pair of rollers at a temperature
below its recrystallization temperature. This process hardens the metal, by compressing and stretching
the metal crystals. During the rolling process, the metal is annealed by heating it above the
recrystallization temperature after every few rollings, to prevent it from becoming brittle and cracking.

Cold rolled metal is given a "temper" rating based on the degree it was compressed. "Skin-rolled" metal
undergoes the least rolling, being compressed only 0.5-1% to harden the surface of the metal and make
it more easily workable for later processes. Higher ratings are "quarter hard," "half hard" and "full hard";
in the last of these, the metal is compressed by 50%. Metal hardened by cold rolling can bend without
breaking, although ductility decreases as the hardness increases. Quarter hard metal can be bent
entirely back on itself, while full hard can only be bent 45.

Most non-ferrous metals are cold rolled to make sheet. Steel is usually rolled hot, except when thin
sheet or special bars such as machine shafts are being produce

The metallurgical process of Hot rolling, used mainly to produce sheet metal or simple cross sections
from billets describes the method of when industrial metal is passed or deformed between a set of work
rolls and the temperature of the metal is generally above its recrystallization temperature, as opposed
to cold rolling, which takes place below this temperature. This permits large deformations of the metal
to be achieved with a low number of rolling cycles.

Because the metal is worked before crystal structures have formed, this process does not itself affect its
microstructural properties. Hot rolling is primarily concerned with manipulating material shape and
geometry rather than mechanical properties. This is achieved by heating a component or material to its
upper critical temperature and then applying controlled load which forms the material to a desired
specification or size.

Mechanical properties of the material in its final as-rolled form is a function of: the material chemistry,
reheat temperature, rate of temperature decrease during deformation, rate of deformation, heat of
deformation, total reduction, recovery time, recrystallization time, and subsequent rate of cooling after
deformation
