HR Coil Prices Today

HRC Hot Rolled Coil (HRC) is a semi-finished rolled steel product manufactured through the hot rolling process, where steel slabs are heated above their recrystallization temperature and passed through rollers to achieve the desired thickness. This method produces a uniform, durable steel coil with excellent mechanical strength and versatility for downstream applications. HR coil full form: Hot Rolled Coil HRC HSN code: 7208 (Flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, hot-rolled, not clad or plated).

HRC is one of the most commonly used hot rolled steel products, known for its scalability and cost-effectiveness. It serves as the base material for numerous jsw products, jindal hr coils, and other steel grades across industries. Compared to cold rolled steel, hot rolling ensures better ductility and weldability, making it ideal for structural and fabrication applications.

Note: HRC prices are listed per metric tonne (1 MT = 1,000 kg). To estimate the per-kg rate, simply divide the quoted MT price by 1,000 for an easy comparison.

Property	Typical Range	Description
Carbon (C)	0.05–0.25%	Provides strength while maintaining ductility
Manganese (Mn)	0.30–1.50%	Improves toughness and wear resistance
Phosphorus (P)	≤ 0.04%	Controlled to avoid brittleness
Sulphur (S)	≤ 0.05%	Kept low for improved weldability
Tensile Strength	370–550 MPa	Varies by grade and hot rolling process
Yield Strength	240–350 MPa	Suitable for forming and fabrication
Elongation	20–35%	Ensures flexibility during manufacturing

The hot rolling process produces scale-free surfaces that may later be pickled, oiled, or further processed into cold rolled steel or galvanized coils.

HRC is used across multiple sectors due to its strength, thickness variety, and adaptability.

• Construction: Beams, columns, bridges, general fabrication
• Automotive: Chassis, wheel discs, frames, base plates
• Pipes & Tubes: Source material for ERW and seamless pipes
• Machinery & Equipment: Agricultural tools, storage tanks, pressure vessels
• Shipbuilding & Heavy Engineering: Large-scale welded structures

Hot rolled steel offers cost advantages over cold rolled steel, especially in applications where precise surface finish is not critical.
