Cold Finished Rounds

Cold Finished Rounds (CF) are cold drawn round steels. These metal bars are produced through a cold deformation process. As a result, the steel gets a smoother surface, improved mechanical properties, and tighter tolerances compared to hot-rolled round steels.

To achieve the surface quality and tight tolerances, Cold Finished Rounds are cold drawn, smoothly turned, ground, or ground and polished.

ADVANTAGES OF COLD FINISHED ROUNDS

• Cold drawing can achieve very precise size and roundness tolerances.

• Cold-processed steels have a smoother and cleaner surface compared to hot-rolled steels.

• The cold-processing method alters the microstructure of the steel, leading to an increase in tensile strength and yield point.

• In some cases, Cold Finished Rounds can offer improved machinability compared to their hot-rolled counterparts.

HOW ARE COLD FINISHED ROUNDS MADE?

Cold Finished Rounds are manufactured in a cold forming process. Cold drawing refers to the mechanical forming process of steel where the material is processed at room temperature. As a result, the diameter of the round steel is reduced and the surface quality is improved.

The cold drawing process essentially includes the following steps:

1. Raw material: Shape steel by hot rolling into a suitable form
2. Drawing bench: Insert steel into a drawing machine
3. Drawing through a die: Steel is shaped into the desired cross-section
4. Increasing strength: Crystal lattice structures of the steel are realigned and compressed
5. Straightening and cutting: Ensuring the steel is straight
6. Finishing: The steel is smoothly turned, ground, or ground and polished.
