Hardened tempered steel strip

Friday, March 30th, 2007

Hardened Tempered Steel strips are available in varying range of hardness, right from 28-30 HRC Rockwell on the lower side to 58-60HRC Rockwell on the higher side.

These tailor made strips are manufactured out of specific requirements of customers. The basic raw material usually used is C-80 for hardness upto 52 HRC and C-98 for high hardness, i.e. above 53 HRC.

This flexibility helps the end user un-necessary trouble of piece mill wise hardening. For example, in case of MRTC Knives, the end user has to take a piece of steel 1.00mm thick, then it has to be  hardened and ground to .80mm. Thus it covers cost of unnecessary hardening, grinding of .20mm, increased labour cost, power and weight loss. Whereas, when the consumer can get material in Strip Form in .80 mm thickness, in  58-60 HRC hardness, then he can manufacture the material much cheaper, saving the extra cost of hardening,grinding,etc.

We are a specialist in providing these types of hardened tempered strips, which are manufactured keeping in mind the exact requirement of the customer so that he can make end products in a more easier process saving a lot in production cost.

Monday, March 5th, 2007

Steel Autourity of India increased the price of HOT Rolled Coils by Rs.1000/- per M.T. on 1.3.07 but again rolled back 500/- per M.T. on 5.3.07.

This might be due to the pressure of the Finance Ministry, which is under cosiderable pressure to curb the inflation which is going around 6.5%

TISCO will announe its move on 6.3.07.

Prices of steel strips will remain unstable in the coming peroiod and again the trend of the International Market will decide the future of the price structure.
