The most basic form of carbon steel is hot rolled steel.  Hot rolled steel coil is instantly recognizable by the bluish-tinge scale that covers the outside surface of a hot rolled carbon steel coil.  

The scale covering hot rolled steel is actually iron oxide that forms on the surface of the steel during a chemical reaction that occurs when the hot rolled steel is created at a steel mill.  Because of this scale, hot rolled steel is best suited for use where the surface finish is not critical to the end user.  Click on the title above to keep reading and learn more!
