We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Rolled Steel",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Lubricants and rust preventives in South Wales from
Houghton Plc, which we summarised at the time by saying "Houghton has gained a contract with Caparo Tubes in South Wales to supply Rust Veto 100D, a light mineral oil-based rust preventive and Houghto-Roll ST30, a synthetic, biodegradable rolling
oil".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release DOM mechanical precision tubing ideal for UK from
Van Leeuwen Wheeler: "Van Leeuwen Wheeler supply DOM Mechanical precision tubing: this is perfect for the UK's manufacturing industry which is focused on added-value, precision engineered products".
In March 2007, we covered the news from Nu-Star Material Handling
concerning its Power pushers
- take a look at Power pushers help manoeuvre rolled steel
which says: "Nu-Star Power Pushers have been installed at B W Industries' main manufacturing facility in Carnaby, East Yorkshire to manoeuvre a range of rolled steel sections".
Take a look also at the news release from Converteam, Rolled steel plate gauge measures economically,
as well as Automated sawing cell improves flexibility from Friedrich Remmert,
and DC drive retrofits for steel plant from Sprint Electric.
