Hot Rolled Sections

Our spe­cial hot rolled stain­less steel, steel and alloy shapes are manufactured at Mon­tanstahl through a continuous rolling process, in which wire rod is formed at a tem­per­a­ture of about 2012°F. The process typically uses wire rod with diameters ranging from 0.79″ to 2.36″, with 2.36″ representing the upper limit of commercially available wire rod.
Hot rolling is by far the most pop­u­lar and eco­nom­i­cal tech­nol­ogy to pro­duce steel sec­tions. Depend­ing on the type of raw mate­r­ial, the desired shape, mechan­i­cal prop­er­ties and the sur­face con­di­tion, the process of hot rolling is par­tic­u­larly suit­able and cost effec­tive. Cus­tom hot rolled stain­less pro­files offer vast design options.

Com­pared to con­ven­tional billet-based rolling mills Mon­tanstahl oper­ates a spe­cial hot rolling mill which starts from wire rod. This dif­fer­ent pro­duc­tion approach offers con­sid­er­able cost sav­ings to the cus­tomers thanks to small pro­duc­tion lots and low tool­ing cost.

This set up allows for high degrees of defor­ma­tion, and thus extremely com­plex shapes can be achieved.

Although we spe­cial­ize in hot rolled stain­less steel, we also hot roll car­bon and alloy steels, free cut­ting steels. The sec­tions are straight­ened and can be sand blasted, greased or pick­led on request. The sec­tions can be sup­plied either as bars in fixed lengths up to 27’ or can be recoiled. The bun­dles can be cut to length with a tol­er­ance of +/- ½”. Typical minimum quantities start at 3 tons for stainless steel profiles and 5 tons for carbon steel profiles. Recommended order quantities are 5 tons for stainless steel and 15 tons for carbon steel.. The process is par­tic­u­larly suit­able for pro­duc­ing small to mid­size spe­cial geome­tries. Hot rolled sec­tions are used for gen­eral build­ing and con­struc­tion, machin­ery, hard­ware, trans­porta­tion indus­try as well as for waste water sys­tems and shipbuilding.
