Flat Rolled carbon steel

Cold Rolled Sheet is manufactured from hot rolled coils by pickling to remove the surface oxide produced during the hot rolling stage, and cold reducing through a Cold Mill to the desired thickness.

It's usually processed further to develop desired end use characteristics such as formability, surface texture, flatness, etc. These further reprocessing steps include annealing and temper rolling for formability and surface texture, and in some cases, tension levelling for flatness.
