Hot Rolled Sections

Our spe­cial hot rolled stain­less steel, steel and alloy shapes are pro­duced at Mon­tanstahl by form­ing wire rod, which can have a max. diam­e­ter of 2–1/4”, by a con­tin­u­ous rolling process at a tem­per­a­ture of about 2012°F.

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 are 3–5 tons for stain­less steel and 10–15 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.
