Steel Strip
Steel strips are flat-rolled, very thin steel sheets used mostly in trim applications for the construction industry. They are manufactured in steel service centers and purchased by roll form fabricators, who further process the steel strips. Steel strips are long, narrow pieces of steel that are sometimes composed of a backing and a track or teeth. They are rolled up in large quantities and used in the automotive, pharmaceutical, dairy and textile industries. Steel strips are also used in machine construction, paper and printing, measuring and control instruments, accordions, crystal saws and cutting tools.
Steel strips are often made of stainless steel, and are manufactured via cold rolling or hot rolling, and may be tempered, hardened or annealed. Their width, hardness, finish and color are dependent upon the process in which it was made, and may vary considerably. Hot rolled steel strips are manufactured in steel service centers, but require further processing, such as slitting or banking, after they have been sold. They are manufactured as either wide or narrow strips. Cold rolled steel strips are those that have been hot rolled and undergo further rolling. They are also pickled in acid to remove mill scale, and in oil to prevent rusting. Sometimes steel strips are hot-dipped in other metals in order to gain the strength or finish of more expensive metals, without the high cost.
