Welcome to Runfei Steel Group’s catalog for commercial grade hot rolled steel. Also known as Commercial Quality (CQ) steel, this highly versatile material is engineered for general-purpose applications that involve moderate bending, forming, and welding. Browse our inventory below to find cost-effective steel coils and sheets—including standard structural grades like Q195 and Q235—ready for immediate custom processing and global export.
We’re happy to help you find the best option for your application.
As a leading steel distribution hub in Tianjin since 1998, Runfei Steel Group supplies premium commercial grade hot rolled steel directly from top-tier Chinese mills. Commercial Quality (CQ) hot rolled steel is the absolute backbone of general manufacturing, offering an exceptional balance of cost-efficiency, base strength, and excellent workability. With 30,000 tons of indoor storage and an annual processing capacity of 300,000 tons, we guarantee a stable, bulk supply of hot rolled coils (HRC) and sheets for your large-scale production needs.
Commercial grade steel is produced from low-carbon steel. It is specifically designed for applications that require moderate bending and excellent weldability, rather than severe deep drawing. Because it is hot-rolled, the steel features a slightly rougher, scaled surface, making it the most economical choice for projects where a pristine, polished surface finish is not the primary requirement.
Thanks to its versatility and affordability, commercial grade hot rolled steel is heavily utilized across numerous sectors:
Welded Tubes & Pipes: The primary base material for manufacturing structural tubing, scaffolding, and standard industrial pipes.
General Fabrication: Ideal for creating brackets, shelving, industrial frames, and non-critical structural components.
Agricultural & Industrial Equipment: Extensively used in the production of robust machinery casings, agricultural implements, and storage tanks.
Automotive Parts: Suitable for unexposed structural chassis components where basic strength and formability are required.
Q: What is the difference between Commercial Quality (CQ) and Drawing Quality (DQ) steel?
A: Commercial Quality (CQ) steel is designed for standard bending and moderate forming. Drawing Quality (DQ) or Deep Drawing Quality (DDQ) steel undergoes tighter metallurgical control and has lower carbon content, allowing it to be stretched and formed into complex shapes without cracking.
Q: Can you process commercial grade hot rolled coils to our specific dimensions?
A: Yes. At our Tianjin Hangu processing center, we offer comprehensive coil slitting, edge trimming, and cut-to-length services. We can easily transform wide hot rolled coils into precise sheets or narrower steel strips tailored to your exact manufacturing requirements.
Q: How is the steel packaged to prevent rust during sea freight?
A: Although hot rolled steel is less prone to rapid oxidation than cold rolled steel due to its mill scale, we still utilize strict seaworthy packaging. The coils are wrapped in moisture-resistant kraft paper, fitted with steel edge protectors, and securely strapped to ensure they arrive at your destination port in excellent condition.
Our mission is to be the pioneer of product, cost solution and service concept in steel industry chain.
