Cold Rolled Steel
Highly engineered. For better quality. At better speed.
COLD-ROLLED TO EXACT SPECS
We make both cold rolled strip and cold rolled sheet to your specifications. Cold rolled steel is highly engineered steel made from hot rolled substrate. Cold rolling changes the mechanical properties of steel to better meet specifications for endless applications.
GM 2021 AWARD
Major automaker honors us for long-term supplier excellence.
In a year of unprecedented upheaval in supply chain and pricing issues, for both suppliers and manufacturers, GM recognized Worthington with one of its highest honors: Supplier of the Year. We celebrate this achievement for the year just past, recognizing our own people for what they do every day—and will keep doing: exceeding customer requirements, providing innovative solutions, and maintaining the highest quality.
Cold Rolled Strip
Made for tight tolerances and critical surface appearance.
Compared to hot rolled steel, cold rolled strip provides an improved surface and shape, and can create useful combinations of hardness, strength, stiffness, ductility, and other characteristics. At Worthington, we work with you to help determine the exact chemistry, structure, and process that will yield the cold rolled steel you need for optimal quality and performance.
Automotive Transmission Warpage
Greater stability for cold rolled strip parts
Using steel from various sources, component stampers had a customer problem: after exposure to heat, the manufactured plates were out-of-flat at service. Read how Worthington explored residual stress and warpage—and figured out how to ensure part stability.
Cold-Rolled Sheet
Light gauge, surface critical and drawing applications
Cold rolled sheet still provides improved mechanical properties compared to hot-rolled steel. In sheet form, our steel offers many of the benefits of cold rolled strip, manufactured at wider widths, with wider thickness tolerances to make it more economical.
New Technology
Best-in-class knowhow and technology.
Collaborate with us to take advantage of the latest manufacturing advancements. Recently, new technology enabled our 56 mill to increase capacity by putting more tons through and delivering wider gauge range, with the fastest turnaround time in the industry. See our speed, service, quality, and on-time delivery in action.
