Heavy Gauge Slitting Services

Heavy gauge slitting is a steel processing method used to cut wide, heavy-gauge metal coils into narrower strips (referred to as "slit coils") while maintaining precise tolerances and edge quality. This process is specifically designed to handle thicker steel materials, typically ranging from 0.250 inches (6.35 mm) to over 0.500 inches (12.7 mm) in thickness, making it ideal for applications requiring durable, heavy-duty materials.

Capabilities Overview

Heavy gauge slitting services are designed to meet the demands of industries that require durable, heavy-duty materials. These capabilities deliver consistent quality and optimize material performance for the most challenging applications.

Material Thickness: .010"–.500"
Slit Width Range: .375”–84”
Coil Inside Diameter (ID): 20”–30”
Coil Outside Diameter (OD): Up to 84”
Slit Width Tolerance: +/- .005" with corrective leveling

Materials Overview

Heavy gauge slitting can be performed on a wide variety of materials, including:

  • Hot-Rolled Steel: Reliable for structural and industrial applications.
  • Hot-Rolled Pickled and Oiled Steel: Improved surface finish and corrosion resistance.
  • Cold-Rolled Steel: High-strength material with a smooth finish.
  • Coated Steel: Options include galvanized, electro-galvanized, and galvannealed for superior protection and performance.
