Cold formed Lipped Channel is produced through a secondary process that is used to manipulate the steel into a shape, form or angle in a room temperature environment. The steel is placed through a process of rollers that allows the steel to be forced into the form that is required.

BSi Steels Galvanized Tubing is part of our structural steel section. BSi Steel also deals in non-standard sizes and steel specifications that fall outside of our data list provided, we do however request an enquiry to the relevant division regarding our full product offering within this steel range.

Taper Flange Channels may be welded using any of the standard metal arc and resistance welding processes, usually without any special precautions.

BSi Steel distributes flat bar that is used for structural sections with regards to structures that operate within corrosive environments, a good example being shipbuilding. Such corrosive factors include the environment, stress during transport, storage, fitting and erection which is why the rust prevention methods used on the flat bar become an important factor.

BSi Steel distributes an extensive range of structural IPE STD’s. The main plate girders are welded from steel plates to make IPE STD beams that are deeper than the standard rolled shapes and that can span up to 60 metres. The IPE STD product range that is distributed by BSi Steel is used in a wide range of structural elements which can be found in industrial, multi-storey structures and bridges.

Round bar is distributed in various diameters for applications such as general engineering, reforging and rods for grinding mills. Round bar Steel is made in a basic oxygen furnace and then continuously cast into blooms before rolling.

BSi Steels Unequal Angle Steel is part of our hot rolled, weldable structural steel section. BSi Steel also deals in non-standard sizes and steel specifications that fall outside of our data list provided, we do however request an enquiry to the relevant division regarding our full product offering within this steel angle range.

BSi Steels Universal Columns are part of our hot rolled, weldable structural steel section. BSi Steel also deals in non-standard sizes and steel specifications that fall outside of our data list provided, we do however request an enquiry to the relevant division regarding our full product offering within this steel range.

BSi Steel distributes Bennox steel grades that comprise of a high strength, low alloy structural steel where the alloy content has been prepared to offer a protective oxide layer on the steel under regular atmospheric conditions.

This product falls within the Flat Steel product range offered by BSi Steel. Chequer/Vastrap plate is part of our Hot Rolled Patterned weldable floor plate in coil steel section. Chequer/Vastrap is the registered trade name for hot rolled steel floor plate. It is patterned to provide a non-slip surface. Chequer/Vastrap steel assists cleaning and draining of any working surface while preventing a slippery surface. BSi Steel supplies Chequer/Vastrap that is produced from Commercial Quality.

Zinc plating process whereby the molecules on the positively charged zinc anode attach to the negatively charged sheet steel. The thickness of the zinc coating is readily controlled. By increasing the electric charge or slowing the speed of the steel through the plating area, the coating will thicken. A feature common to the very wide range of applications of hot and cold rolled steel sheet is that the surfaces of the material need to be coated to protect the sheet against corrosion and sometimes also for aesthetical reasons.

Hot-rolled coils form the basic product for further processing. The Hot Rolled Coils that BSi Steel distributes are utilized either by selling to secondary industry in the form of rolled coils, or slit into narrower widths, or leveled and cut into discrete plates or sheets, or cleaned of surface oxide by pickling in acid, in preparation for cold-rolling. Hot Rolled Sheet is found to be used for items such as steel doors, cabinets and containers and hot-rolled slit mostly for pipes.

BSi Steel distributes Steel Plates that are produced from continuously cast slabs on a 4-high reversing mill cooled on cooling beds and then leveled and sheared to ordered size. To achieve superior mechanical properties, plates can be heat-treated, that is normalized or quenched and tempered. For structural and lower grade pressure vessel steels the thickness of the plate varies from 4.5mm to 100mm. Once the slabs are produced, surface defects are removed from slabs either by in-line scarfing machines or by hand-treating by means of scarfing with an oxygen-gas torch.
