Norfolk Iron & Metal stocks carbon steel squares in both cold drawn and hot rolled forms to suit various industrial applications.
Cold drawn squares are produced by drawing the steel through a die at room temperature, resulting in a smooth surface, tighter dimensional tolerances, and improved strength. These properties make cold drawn squares ideal for precision applications, including shafts, structural supports, and parts requiring high strength and exact measurements.
Hot rolled squares, on the other hand, are formed by rolling the steel at high temperatures, which results in a more cost-effective product with a rougher surface and larger dimensional tolerances. Hot rolled squares are commonly used in general construction and structural applications where precise measurements are less critical.
Both types offer strong, durable options for a wide range of projects, from manufacturing to heavy-duty construction. To view our full available carbon steel product offering, visit the NIM Customer Portal.
