HOW IT’S DONE
The cut-to-length method occurs when the processing lines take lengths of flat-rolled (hot or cold) steel and cuts them into various lengths. Intense pressure is then applied to flatten the material into a sheet or plate, depending on the thickness and other properties requested by the client.
We use various types of coiled metal as materials when it comes to this method of cutting. We use:
- Hot-rolled Steel
- Cold Rolled Steel
- Coated Finished Steel
