The main difference between steel coil and steel strip is their form and application.
Steel coil: Steel coil, also known as coiled steel, is a form of steel that is formed into a coil by hot or cold pressing. This form of steel product is convenient for various processing, such as processing into steel plates, steel strips, etc., and is also convenient for storage and transportation. Steel coils are usually used in the construction field, transportation, machinery manufacturing, metallurgy, and other fields, such as manufacturing furniture, toys, decorative materials, etc.
Steel strip: Steel strip is a narrow and long steel plate with a width of less than 1300mm and a slightly different length depending on the size of each roll. Steel strip is usually supplied in rolls and has the advantages of high dimensional accuracy, good surface quality, easy processing, and material saving. Compared with steel plates, steel strips have better dimensional accuracy and surface quality and are more convenient to use. Steel strips are widely used in construction, machinery, electrical, ships, and automobiles.
In summary, although steel coils and steel strips are both steel products, their forms and applications are different. Steel coils mostly appear in roll form and are more suitable for industrial applications that require a large amount of continuous material; while steel strips appear in a narrow and long form and are more suitable for specific applications that require precise dimensions and high surface quality.
