The metal industry is among the oldest in existence. Several countries determine their industry growth by the increase in metals, demonstrating how crucial this material is. The metal supply chain comprises three critical stages: melt mills, re-rollers, and service centers. There are, of course, o... Continue Reading

Using today’s precision slitters, it's possible to produce strip products in widths as narrow as .035 inch. However, material thickness has an impact on how narrow you can go. In instances where the starting material is too thick, flat wire is an avenue to achieve those narrow widths. This similarly... Continue Reading

Flat metal products are typically specified to a set of mechanical properties. Ultimate tensile strength, 0.2% offset yield strength, percent elongation, and hardness are applied representations of how the building blocks of a given material behave in response to an applied load. Tensile, yield, and... Continue Reading
