Obtained the molten steel, this is poured into slabs that are then reduced once again to &#8220;cold rolled steel&#8221; and coated with a protective layer of zinc, added through the galvanizing process. The final product is called\u00a0<em><strong>&#8220;coil&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><em>.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Depending on the need of the final product you want to obtain, the coils can be cut in such a way that they correspond to the expected dimensions of the product you desire to obtain or can be connected directly to a press system (as happens in our company) that, automatically, perform this type of operation going to use the amount of\u00a0<strong>coil\u00a0<\/strong>needed and\u00a0<strong>printing it cold with progressive molds or transfer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What forms can cold formed steel take?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Generally,\u00a0<strong>cold formed steel coils\u00a0<\/strong>are formed through a series of moulds that penetrate or pierce the steel, making it take the desired shape. The moulds gradually model steel in C-shaped, U-shaped, Z-shaped or even hat-shaped areas in such a ways to meet the most diverse application needs. This operation does not need any type of heat:\u00a0the\u00a0<strong>cold-formed steel\u00a0<\/strong>is formed in the absence of heat; the opposite of what happens with hot-rolled steel.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Versatility, durability, sustainability: this is cold-formed steel!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The elements of the frame in <strong>cold formed steel<\/strong> can be formed from a wide range of different thicknesses, so as to accomodate the most varied applications. Last but not least, steel is a highly sustainable material with low environmental impact and easy to dispose of!<\/p>\n<p>For all these reasons, in Prodotti EBI cold formed steel is the absolute protagonist of most of our metal components.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cold formed steel\u00a0is one of the most durable and efficient materials to make metal components for industries where these characteristics [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1389,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/prodottiebi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1387"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/prodottiebi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/prodottiebi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prodottiebi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prodottiebi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1387"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/prodottiebi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1387\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1391,"href":"https:\/\/prodottiebi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1387\/revisions\/1391"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prodottiebi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1389"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/prodottiebi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1387"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prodottiebi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1387"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prodottiebi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1387"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
