Quality and choice
We supply cold-rolled steel strip products in a range of standard and high-strength grades and a choice of material thickness. Consistent quality delivers benefits for your end-products and processes. A choice of surface finish means our products are suitable for a wide variety of applications. Our cold-rolled steel products with brilliant surfaces are ideal for electroplating with chrome, copper or bright nickel.
Reliable performance
Our cold-rolled strip steel products offer consistent formability for reliable processing. The fine-grained structure of these steels is ideal for stamping and deep drawing. Tight tolerances – exceeding the requirements in EN 10139 & ATSM A 109 – help you deliver uniform end-products and minimise waste.
Applications
-
Automotive chromed components
-
Decorative household products including curtain poles, lamp parts, giftware, tableware and toasters.
Outstanding surface finish
HIBRITE cold-rolled steel and HIBRITE nickel-plated steel products offer a superb surface finish in a choice of ‘bright’ or ‘mirror’. HIBRITE finishes exceed the industry norms of ‘MC’ standard for mirror finish and ‘MB’ standard for bright finish. Bright and mirror finishes negate the need for grinding and polishing.
Main benefits of our surface-finished cold-rolled steel include:
-
end-products of consistent and reliable quality
-
improved end-product performance
-
trouble-free, repeatable processing
-
opportunities to reduce processing steps
-
minimised waste
The shiny surfaces are ideal for electroplating with chrome, copper or bright nickel. The fine-grained steel structure of HIBRITE makes it highly suitable for stamping and deep drawing. The reliable quality of HIBRITE delivers additional benefits for further processing and end-products. It is available in a wide range of thicknesses to meet the most demanding applications.
We can also tailor HIBRITE and other cold-rolled steel products to meet your exact processing and end-product requirements.
High-strength steel (HSS)
We have introduced high-strength steel as an alternative substrate for stainless steel. Tata Steel's cold-rolled steel or cold-rolled strip is available as high-strength steel when the cold-rolling process uses either high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) substrates or higher carbons.
