Cold Rolled Steel Coil Supplier
Parts with visible surfaces and tight tolerances leave no room for sheet that arrives out of flat or off gauge, and every rejected blank adds cost to the job. Curtis Steel Company works as a cold rolled steel coil supplier for manufacturers and fabricators who need precise material at competitive pricing.
We stock ASTM A1008 cold rolled coil and sheet in Texas, run slitting and blanking on our in-house processing lines, and serve larger buyers nationwide through our National Steel program.
ASTM A1008 Steel With Tight Tolerances and Competitive Pricing
Cold rolled steel starts as hot rolled coil that the mill pickles and then rolls again at room temperature. That second pass tightens thickness tolerances, flattens the strip, and leaves a smooth, clean surface ready for painting or plating.
Our ASTM A1008 steel holds gauge and physical properties consistently across the coil, so parts form the same way at the start of a run as they do at the end. Buyers get that consistency at competitive pricing on every gauge we stock.
What ASTM A1008 CS Type B Means for Your Parts
ASTM A1008 is the standard specification for cold rolled carbon steel sheet. Within it, ASTM A1008 CS Type B is the commercial steel designation, with a carbon range of 0.02% to 0.15%. That range gives the steel the formability that general bending, roll forming, and moderate drawing call for.
Engineers who verify specs before approving a supplier can request mill test reports with their order.
Cold Rolled Steel Coil Ready for Your Slitting and Stamping Lines
Coil buyers running in-house slitting or stamping need material that feeds consistently and holds its width tolerance through the whole wrap. We stock cold rolled steel coil in standard widths and slit it to your size on our Braner 60" slitting line.
- Specification: ASTM A1008, Grade CS-B
- Stocked gauges: 10 GA through 24 GA, with the full range running 7 GA through 30 GA
- Coil widths: 36", 48", and 60", depending on gauge
- Slitting capacity: material from .010" to .1875" thick, up to 60" wide
- Quick changeovers: a 3-head turret on the slitter keeps setups short
Cut to Length for Fab Shops and Job Shops
Smaller shops and job shops often need cold rolled steel sheet cut to a specific length, without buying and processing a full coil. We level, shear, and blank to your dimensions in-house, so sheet arrives ready for the brake or the laser.
- Standard sheet sizes: 3' x 8', 4' x 8', 4' x 10', and 5' x 10'
- Custom lengths: cut-to-length up to 22 feet on our Cincinnati leveling line
- Blanking: Red Bud 72" multi-cut blanking line holding tolerances of ±.005"
- Shearing: 12-foot Cincinnati shear for clean, square cuts
How Cold Rolled and Hot Rolled Steel Compare on the Shop Floor
Curtis Steel stocks both, and the right choice comes down to how the part gets made and what it needs to look like when it ships. Here's how the two compare, with more detail on our hot rolled pickled and oiled steel page.
| Feature | Cold Rolled Steel | Hot Rolled Steel |
|---|---|---|
| Rolling temperature | Rolled at room temperature after pickling | Rolled above recrystallization temperature |
| Strength and hardness | Higher, from the added cold work | Lower, with more ductility |
| Formability | Precise bends and moderate draws | Heavy forming and structural shapes |
| Surface finish | Smooth and clean, ready for paint or plating | Mill scale, which pickling and oiling removes |
| Dimensional tolerances | Tighter thickness and flatness control | Wider tolerances |
The Cold Rolled Steel Supplier Manufacturers Across Texas Count On
Curtis Steel has supplied flat-rolled steel since 1976 and ranks among the largest locally owned distributors of it in Texas. Our cold rolled coil and sheet end up in automotive body panels and chassis parts, appliance housings, electrical enclosures and panel boards, filing cabinets and shelving, drums and bins, and structural components for medical and aerospace equipment.
We ship from warehouses in Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, and the Rio Grande Valley, and our own truck fleet handles local delivery.
