3. Benefits Hot rolled pickled steel with ¼ EN10051 thickness tolerance
Cost effective alternative, especially for applications requiring consistent thickness and with higher feasibility range
Significant weight reduction of the final parts for high strength low alloy material leading to cost savings
Less scrap, rework and better output, meaning more final parts per tonne of steel consumed
Additional reduction of material loss by using slit strips over the whole width
No rerolling operations needed to obtain better thickness performance  one less process step
Shorter delivery time
