Only through the application of our patented UltraSTEEL® process can you truly minimise your effect on the environment. Products manufactured using the UltraSTEEL® process will use less metal, which of course reduces the impact your business has on the environment. It also results in products that are lighter so you can ship more on each load, lowering transport related pollution too. But, lowering your environmental impact doesn’t stop there. We have an unrivalled knowledge of roll form engineering developed over 40 years and on thousands of products, plus internally developed engineering...

UltraSTEEL® is a cold rolled pre-forming process that locally work hardens the base metal. Because the process is applied to the standard base metal and in-line in the cold rolled forming process, it is does not increase manufacturing cost and is ideal for high volumes. In fact, over 1 billion metres of UltraSTEEL® product are manufactured each year by some of the world’s most respected brands. The metal is formed between mating rolls, which produce a dimpled pattern across the surface of the material. During the process, the effective thickness of the material is increased by locally...

Improved memory and spring tension characteristics Sections manufacturing using the UltraSTEEL® process have a greater ability to return their original form after loading. Displacement (mm) Plain Steel Permanent Deformation Plain Steel A comparison between two samplesDeformation same original coil from the Permanent Deformation indicates a 31% reduction in permanent deformation. The UltraSTEEL® cross-section ensures that every screw is in contact with a material thickness greater that the nominal gauge of the steel, resulting in a significant increase in the torque required to strip-out the...
