Cold Rolled Steel vs. Hot Rolled Steel
When it comes to processing steel for industrial purposes, the basic technique of rolling was introduced as far back as 1783 by Henry Cort, who was among the first to successfully improve on the more archaic methods that were prevalent during the time. Since then, two processes have emerged as the primary methods for forming […]
How Roll-Formers Improve Building Quality and Save Money
