Introduction to Hot Rolled Sheets (HR Sheets)
Hot Rolled Sheets, also known as HR Sheets, are one of the most fundamental products in the steel and metalworking industries. Manufactured through a high-temperature rolling process, HR Sheets are known for their excellent formability, cost efficiency, and versatility. They are widely used across various sectors including construction, infrastructure, automotive, shipbuilding, and heavy machinery manufacturing.
At CAGHAN, we supply premium quality Hot Rolled Sheets produced in our facilities in Turkey and Kosovo, and deliver to businesses across the UK from our London base. Our commitment to quality, precision, and customer satisfaction makes us a trusted partner for industrial metal solutions.
Manufacturing Process of Hot Rolled Sheets
Hot Rolled Sheets are produced by rolling steel slabs at extremely high temperatures — typically above 1,000°C. At this temperature, steel becomes malleable and can be shaped more easily.
Key Steps in the Hot Rolling Process:
Heating the Slabs: Steel slabs are heated in a furnace until they reach the desired temperature.
Rough Rolling: The hot slab is passed through roughing mills to reduce thickness.
Finishing Rolling: Final dimensions are achieved by passing the sheet through finishing rollers.
Cooling and Coiling: The finished sheet is cooled on run-out tables and coiled for distribution.
Cutting & Surface Finishing: Sheets may be cut to specific lengths and treated to remove surface scale or oxide.
Technical Specifications of HR Sheets
Hot Rolled Sheets are available in a wide range of thicknesses and widths to meet the demands of various structural and industrial applications.

Advantages of Hot Rolled Sheets
Hot Rolled Sheets provide several benefits that make them ideal for both structural and fabrication purposes:
Excellent Workability: Due to the high-temperature production process, HR Sheets are easy to cut, shape, and weld.
Lower Cost: Compared to cold-rolled steel, HR Sheets are more economical, making them ideal for large-scale structural applications.
High Strength and Durability: HR Sheets have strong mechanical properties, suitable for load-bearing and heavy-duty usage.
Large Size Availability: They can be produced in much thicker and wider dimensions than cold rolled sheets.
Ideal for Structural Uses: Perfect for beams, columns, channels, and heavy equipment.
Flexibility in Post-Processing: HR Sheets can be further processed through galvanizing, painting, or forming as needed.
Applications of Hot Rolled Sheets
HR Sheets are used in a wide variety of industries and structural applications. Key usage areas include:
Construction & Infrastructure: Used for columns, beams, structural frames, and bridges.
Automotive Industry: Applied in chassis, wheel rims, brackets, and agricultural vehicles.
Shipbuilding: Used in ship decks, hulls, and structural components.
Heavy Machinery: Applied in construction equipment and industrial machinery.
Railway & Transportation: Used for railcars, cargo containers, and train components.
Fabrication & Welding Projects: Popular in workshops and fabrication industries due to its ease of use and availability in large sizes.
