The term "hot-rolled steel tube" refers to a steel tube that has been rolled in a furnace at a high temperature, usually in the range of 1,200 to 1,500 degrees Celsius. The cold-rolled or cold-forming process involves passing the sheet metal through a die that cools in water for about one week.
Seamless steel pipes used in industrialized or industrial applications are medium- and high-pressure steel pipes, as well as alloy steel pipes. The main hot working and cold working difference is their design; some are simpler while others are more complex.
Cold-rolled formed steel allows local buckling whereas hot-rolled steel does not Since hot-rolled steel and cold-rolled steel have different sources of residual stress, their distributions are also very different. Since hot-rolled steel has a higher free torsional stiffness than cold-rolled steel, its torsion resistance is better.
