Tata HR Coils, primarily branded as Tata Astrum in India, are Hot Rolled (HR) Steel Coils manufactured by Tata Steel. They are a versatile, high-quality steel product known for strength, durability, and formability, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications.
Product Type: Hot Rolled (HR) Steel Coil, typically made from Carbon Steel.
Manufacturing Process: Steel slabs (or transfer bars in some mills) are heated to high temperatures (over 1700F or 927C) and then rolled in a Hot Strip Mill (HSM) to the desired thickness and width. The subsequent controlled cooling ensures the product attains the required mechanical properties.
Brand Name (India): The hot rolled sheets and coils from Tata Steel are often marketed under the brand name Tata Astrum.
Dimensions (Typical Range):
Thickness: Generally ranges from to .
Width: Typically ranges from to (varying by thickness and plant).
Coil Finish: Available in:
Non-pickled (Dry): The surface retains the mill scale, an iron oxide film formed during the hot rolling process.
Pickled and Oiled (HRPO): The mill scale is removed using an acid bath (pickling) for a cleaner, uniform surface, and then oiled to prevent rust.
Skin Pass, Pickled & Oiled (HRSPO): An additional process to improve surface smoothness, thickness uniformity, and minor mechanical property corrections.
