Steel Processes
Below are the main processes we use in producing cold finished steel to meet your requirements
Cold Drawing
The process of drawing a descaled bar or coil of hot rolled steel through a sizes and/or shaped die on a “draw bench”
Turning
The process of removing the surface layer of a hot rolled bar in a turning machine
Grinding & Polishing
A ground surface finish obtained by centerless grinding. The process is followed by a polishing operation.
e.t.d. 150®
An advanced method of producing mechanical properties in steel bars, patented by Niagara LaSalle.
Thermal Treatment
Many applications require strength or qualities not available in ordinary cold finished condition. Our thermal treatments include: Annealing, Stress Relieving, Normalizing, Heat Treating, Quench & Tempering.
Combined Processing
Many of these methods can be combined to produce materials with specific properties.
