Hot roll strip is generally produced in one of two ways. Hot roll strip can be produced domestically by the use of Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF) that use 95%+ post-consumer recycled scrap before billets enter the rolling mill for final shape production. Hot roll strip can also be produced from hot roll sheet coil by the slit and gour process to create narrow strips.
Hot roll strip is mild steel and may be produced from the mill that could meet multiple grade specifications simultaneously including ASTM A36 and CSA 44W. If hot roll strip is produced through processing flat roll sheet coil, then the grade specification will be that of the flat roll sheet coil.
ASTM is the American Society for Testing and Materials
CSW is the Canadian Standards Association
