Cold Rolled Steel Solutions
Cold Rolled Steel
At Viking Materials, we supply cold rolled steel that delivers unmatched precision, strength, and surface quality. Our cold rolled material is made by processing hot rolled steel at room temperature through tightly controlled rollers. This cold reduction process improves strength through strain hardening and creates a smooth, scale-free surface with extremely tight dimensional tolerances making it the ideal choice for high-precision, appearance-critical, and structurally demanding applications.
Cold rolled steel offers increased tensile and yield strength, exceptional flatness, and a clean finish that’s ready for powder coating, painting, or plating. Whether you’re building complex components or high-volume stampings, our cold rolled products provide the consistency and reliability you need to reduce scrap, maintain tolerances, and streamline production.
As a trusted cold rolled steel supplier, Viking Materials stocks a wide range of thicknesses from 10 gauge through 26 gauge, available in sheet, coil, or precision-cut blanks. All products are certified to ASTM A1008 and supported by advanced in-house processing services including slitting, blanking, shearing, and custom packaging. With fast delivery and expert customer service from our Minneapolis and Chicago facilities, we make it easy to get the material you need when you need it.

Choosing Viking’s cold rolled steel means choosing reliability, precision, and performance. Our cold rolled products are engineered for manufacturers who can’t afford downtime or dimensional guesswork. Whether your operation is focused on appearance, strength, or both, cold rolled steel checks all the boxes.
- Tight Dimensional Tolerances: Perfect for stamped and fabricated parts that require repeatable accuracy
- Smooth, Clean Finish: No scale, no surface irregularities — ideal for decorative, coated, or exposed applications
- Higher Mechanical Strength: Upgraded yield and tensile properties allow for thinner, lighter parts without losing durability
- Excellent Workability: Maintains formability across complex shapes and deep draws
- Reduced Secondary Processing: Minimal surface prep needed before finishing or welding
- Consistent Coil-to-Coil Performance: Supports automated and high-speed production with confidence
Applications of Cold Rolled Steel
Cold rolled steel is used anywhere strength, surface quality, and precision are essential. It’s a go-to material for manufacturing sectors that need materials to look good, perform well, and meet tight engineering specs.
- Automotive: inner door frames, reinforcement beams, chassis brackets, seat components, hood stiffeners
- Appliance: washer/dryer bodies, control panels, refrigerator shells, structural supports, component trays
- Electrical: breaker boxes, transformer enclosures, junction boxes, panel boards, conduit fittings
- Furniture & Fixtures: drawer slides, shelving systems, desks, storage cabinets, retail displays
- HVAC & Lighting: fan housings, mounting brackets, air handling enclosures, fixture frames
- General Fabrication: precision stamped parts, bent assemblies, weldments, and painted or plated products
