Difference between Hot rolling and Cold rolling

 

Comparison Chart

Hot RollingCold Rolling
Metal is fed into the rolls after being heated above the recrystallization temperature.Metal is fed into the rolls when its temperature is below the recrystallization temperature.
Hot rolled metal does not show a work hardening effect.Cold rolled metal hardening effect.
Coefficient of friction between the rolls and stock is higher.Coefficient of friction between rolls and stock is relatively lower.
The heavy reduction in cross-sectional area is possible.A heavy reduction in area is not possible.
Close dimensional tolerances cannot be obtained.Section dimensions can be finished to close tolerances
Very thin obtained.Aluminum foils up to 0.02 mm can be made.
Poor surface finish with a scale on it.The smooth and oxide-free surface can be obtained
Roll radius is larger.Roll radius is smaller.
