    why not use cold rolled for your arms? there really isnt any need for chromo plate work on your arms. but if you wanna waste that money....

    Its more of an idea at the moment since I don't have the funds to go all out on it right now. But a mix between the old ESB kit and the burg race kit. Still trying to plan everything out.

    i plated in 1/8th cold rolled plate with no issues. that is why i asked for the project design. there isnt really a need for 3/16 cold rolled plate. 1/8th is fine.

    but i noticed it again... looking for costs of materials BEFORE YOUR PROJECT IS EVEN PLANNED ON PAPER LET ALONE IN DESIGN STAGE!!!!! plan out your projects people! ive stated this 3 times for a reason! it saves you more money than you will ever know! there are always those final odds and ends pieces that everyone forgets to factor in... but plate work materials for your suspension before you even have a design figured out.... really????

    Sure

    Cold rolled vs Hot rolled steel

    Steel is rolled using two types of processes – cold rolling and hot rolling. Well, when steel is rolled at more than the temperature of re-crystallisation, it is called hot rolled steel. When steel is rolled at a lower temperature, it is called cold rolled steel.

    While hot rolled steel is obtained at a temperature over 1700 degrees, the cold rolled steel is obtained at well below scaling temperatures. The hot rolled steel loses its hardness, and softens, once it is heated at a high temperature. The hot rolled steel has to then be treated to strengthen it. On the other hand, the cold rolled steel is obtained by beating it with heavy hammers, as it does not soften like the hot rolled steel.

    When steel undergoes the cold rolling process, it becomes harder and stronger. When steel is hot rolled, the finished tolerances are loose. With cold rolled steel, the tolerances are much closer.

    In terms of finishing as well, both the hot rolled steel and the cold rolled steel are different. The Hot rolled steel comes with a rough blue-grey finish, and rounded corners. On the other hand, the cold rolled steel comes with a shiny blue-grey surface, and square corners.

    In size as well, the hot rolled and the cold rolled steel are different. The hot rolled steel comes in plus minus 0.01 inches, or even more than that. On the contrary, the cold rolled steel comes in less than 0.01 inches.

    Another difference that can be seen between cold rolled and hot rolled steel, is that cold rolled steel has fewer carbon inclusions.



    Summary

    1. Hot rolled steel is obtained at a temperature over 1700 degrees; the cold rolled steel is obtained at well below scaling temperatures.

    2. When steel is hot rolled, the finished tolerances are loose, unlike cold rolled steel.

    3. The hot rolled steel comes with a rough blue-grey finish, and rounded corners. On the other hand, the cold rolled steel comes with a shiny blue-grey surface, and square corners.

    4. The hot rolled steel comes in plus minus 0.01 inches, or even more than that. The cold rolled steel comes in less than 0.01 inches.

    5. The cold rolled steel is harder and stronger than the hot rolled steel.
