Product details
Hot rolled steel coil for slitting or cut-to-length processing needs a finished-size schedule as well as a material grade. Separate the master coil dimensions from the required slit widths or sheet lengths. Include edge condition, tolerances and coil-handling limits so the quotation covers the material and the processing scope.
Coiled hot rolled steel for further processing, forming and fabrication. Share your target grade, width, thickness and coil requirements.
Supply availability and the final specification are confirmed in the quotation. Please include the intended application, dimensions, quantity and destination when contacting us.
Processing route
Tell us whether the coil will be slit, levelled, cut or formed.
Coil handling
Specify coil weight and inner diameter for your equipment.
Surface condition
Discuss the required surface and any further finishing process.

Frequently asked questions
What should I specify for a hot rolled coil slitting order?
List the steel grade and standard, thickness, finished strip widths, width tolerances and quantity per width. State acceptable edge condition and burr limits where required. Include coil inner diameter and weight limits for your equipment, and identify whether the quotation should cover master coils or processed strips.
How is a cut-to-length coil order different from a plate order?
Provide the required finished sheet lengths, width, thickness and quantity, plus flatness and squareness requirements. Identify any levelling or edge processing needed. Do not assume a coil-derived sheet meets every requirement of a separately specified plate product; confirm the applicable grade, product standard and delivery condition.
How are minimum order and lead time confirmed?
Send your grade, size, tonnage and required delivery date. Ask for separate confirmation of stock availability, any production or processing time, and the dispatch date. Transit time depends on destination and shipment terms; the agreed quotation should state the minimum quantity and schedule.
What documents should I request?
List the required material test report, inspection document type and any third-party inspection in your enquiry. Ask which documents apply to your selected material and agree their scope before ordering. A general company certificate does not replace the material test results for the supplied heat or coil.
