Rolled steels

Steel obtained after heating the ingots or billets and leaving them at a temperature higher than that of austenization, by passing the casting product between two rolls or cylinders rotating at the same speed and in the opposite direction, to reduce their thickness by the pressure exerted . The rolled product guarantees a medium dimensional…

Rolling

It is a deformation process that consists of reducing the thickness of the working material by compression forces exerted by two opposite rolls. There is cold rolling and hot rolling.

Details

Rolling mills

They are cylinders that rotate in the opposite direction to reduce a section of a product during hot or cold rolling. They must be of a material of great hardness, resistance to wear and undeformability, having to maintain those properties at high temperatures in the case of the rolling mills used in hot rolling.

Roughness

It is the set of deviations that a surface has. The greater or lesser roughness of a surface depends on its surface finish. It allows defining the microgeometry of the surfaces to make them valid according to the function for which they were made.

Details

Scale

Iron oxide generated on the surface of the steel produced by the reaction of oxygen with the metal at high temperatures. Depending on the temperature at which oxidation occurs, the scale may be composed of ferric oxide or ferrous oxide. It is called the primary scale the one coming from the semiproduct before being rolled…

Scrap

Scraps of waste metal, mainly iron. The scrap used in the steel melting comes mainly from demolition scrap or short ends, chip and rejects from other steel manufacturing processes. The scrap used in the steel plant is classified, in composition and density for the control of the chemical composition of the steel as well as…

Seamless tube or mechanical tube

Tube that is obtained from a solid piece with cylindrical shape which is heated in a furnace prior to be extruded. It is then deformed with rolls and then the hole is made. It is perfect to contain the pressure due to its homogeneity in all its directions.

Details

Shears

It is used to cut metal in a linear movement. It is composed of a movable blade at the top and a fixed blade at the bottom. It cuts materials of various thicknesses and types, as required.

Shot Blasting

It is a surface cleaning treatment technique by impact. A correct finish and surface finish can be achieved. It consists of the projection of abrasive particles (shot) at high speed (65 – 110 m / s) which, when impacting with the treated piece, produces the removal of contaminants from the surface.
