Valsesteel

Valsesteel is a term that refers to steel that has been shaped through a process called rolling. Rolling involves passing steel between a pair of rollers to reduce its thickness and make it uniform. This process can be done when the steel is hot (hot rolling) or cold (cold rolling). Hot rolling is typically done above the steel's recrystallization temperature, allowing for significant deformation with less force. Cold rolling is performed at or near room temperature and results in a smoother surface finish, tighter tolerances, and increased strength.

The resulting valsesteel can take various forms, including plates, sheets, bars, and structural shapes like I-beams and channels. The properties of valsesteel can be tailored through variations in the rolling process, such as the number of passes, roller speed, and temperature. This adaptability makes valsesteel a fundamental material in numerous industries.

Valsesteel is widely used in construction for building frames, bridges, and reinforcement bars. It is also a key component in the manufacturing of automobiles, appliances, and various industrial machinery. The specific grade and form of valsesteel are chosen based on the intended application and the required mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, yield strength, and ductility. Its widespread availability and cost-effectiveness contribute to its extensive use globally.
