Our partner suppliers specialise in hot rolled narrow strip which is produced on modern, fully automated narrow strip mills. The resulting strip benefits from superior technical properties such as high surface quality, uniform material structure and extraordinarily tight thickness tolerances similar to those provided by cold rolled strip.
Tight tolerance narrow strip can serve as input stock for the cold rolling industry, but the superior attributes allow the product to go directly into manufacturing with potential economic and efficiency benefits; the tight thickness tolerances can lead to weight savings yielding more components per tonne, reduce downtime for tool adjustments, and there is the possibility of substituting more expensive cold rolled strip.
The close working relationship that we have developed over many years with our European hot rolling partners affords us the ability to tailormake our product to the customers’ requirements.
We have the facility to source via BOS route as well as the flexibility to supply smaller, more specialist casts, via the electric arc furnace route. We can supply in coil or cut lengths, with slit or mill edges. The advantage of mill edges being no sharp edges for handling, no burr or microcracks and no embrittlement of the edges which in turn leads to improved fatigue resistance.
