HRC grade / temper reference (common project grades)
Practical hot-rolled grade mapping with temper/strength class, formability posture, and typical use. Use as a shortlist, then confirm exact chemistry/mechanics from the target mill standard.
| Grade | Temper / strength band | Typical standard family | Soft/Hard posture | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q195B | Soft commercial | GB/T 700 | Soft; good bending/forming | Light profiles, tubes, general fabricated parts |
| Q235B | Commercial-medium | GB/T 700 | Medium; balanced strength/formability | Structural fabrication, channels, sections, base frames |
| SS330 | Soft commercial | JIS G3101 | Soft-medium forming route | General forming and light structural components |
| SS400 | Medium strong | JIS G3101 | Medium; mainstream fabrication grade | Structural fabrication, brackets, industrial components |
| SS490 | Strong | JIS G3101 | Harder/stronger than SS400 | Higher-strength structural and heavy-duty fabrication |
| SPHC | Soft drawing quality (HR) | JIS G3131 | Soft; good for general press/forming | Cold-forming feedstock, pipes, formed components |
| SPHD | Drawing quality | JIS G3131 | Softer drawing route with better formability | Deeper forming and pressed components |
| SPHE | Deep drawing quality | JIS G3131 | Soft/deep-draw capable | Deep drawn parts, formed shells, precision press parts |
| SAPH370 / SAPH440 | Medium to strong automotive structural | JIS G3113 | Medium-hard high-strength route | Automotive wheel/disc/chassis and structural press parts |
| S275JR / S355JR | Medium to strong structural | EN 10025 | From medium to strong structural posture | General structures, load-bearing and engineered frames |
Abbreviations
SPHC/SPHD/SPHE are hot-rolled sheet grades for forming progression (commercial to deep drawing). SAPH grades are hot-rolled automotive structural grades. Soft/Hard posture is practical forming guidance, not a substitute for certified mechanical values.
Always finalize by test certificate and project code requirements (yield/tensile/elongation and thickness tolerance by standard edition).
Applications (Pakistan)
A practical HRPO use is oil-filter component forming, while HR/HRC is also widely used for structural fabrication, profiles, and pipes/tubes.
Application
HRPO oil-filter components
This application shows oil-filter parts made from HRPO, typically in 2.0-3.0 mm. Beyond filter parts, HR/HRC is also used for structural brackets, profiles, pipe/tube feedstock, and general fabricated industrial components.

HR vs other flat steel
Compare CR vs HR and HR PO vs HR to choose the right hot-rolled route for your application.
| Aspect | CR / CRC | HR / HRC |
|---|---|---|
| Processing route | Further cold reduced route for tighter finish/tolerance | Rolled at high temperature; broad industrial substrate route |
| Surface finish | Smoother surface with tighter dimensional control | As-rolled/black finish, generally rougher |
| Typical use | Precision formed parts, panels, appliance components | Structural, heavy fabrication, base feedstock |
| Price level | Usually higher due to added processing | Usually lower base-cost route |
| Best when you need | Surface-critical and tolerance-sensitive applications | Cost-efficient tonnage and heavier fabrication range |
Frequently Asked Questions
Most asked HR/HRC questions from buyers and fabricators.
What is hot rolled steel?
Hot rolled steel is steel rolled at high temperature and supplied as plate, sheet, or coil for structural and fabrication applications.
What is hot rolled coil (or hot rolled coil steel)?
Hot rolled coil is the coil form of hot rolled steel, supplied in rolled bundles for slitting, profiling, structural fabrication, and downstream processing routes.
What is hot rolled steel used for?
Common uses include structural fabrication, profiles, pipes/tubes, machinery bases, industrial components, and base substrate for further processing.
What is the difference between hot rolled and cold rolled steel?
Hot rolled is typically more economical for structural/heavier applications, while cold rolled offers smoother finish and tighter tolerance for precision parts.
How is hot rolled steel made?
Steel is heated above recrystallization temperature and then rolled to required thickness/shape. It is then cooled, coiled, and dispatched by grade and dimension requirements.
How to remove mill scale from hot rolled steel?
Typical routes include mechanical cleaning (wire brushing/blasting) or chemical pickling. The right method depends on finish requirement, safety controls, and downstream coating/painting route.
What are hot rolled steel sections?
Hot rolled sections are structural shapes made from hot rolled steel, such as angles, channels, beams, and related profiles used in construction and heavy fabrication.
Where to buy hot rolled steel?
Buy from suppliers who can match grade, dimensions, and documents to your project. Share your exact specification and quantity for current availability and quote alignment.
