Reducing our hot rolled coils through our continuous pickle line and in-line tandem cold mill (PLTCM) produces cold rolled steels ranging in thickness from .012” – .100” and 36” – 72” in width. Our investment in technology allows us to meet the tight tolerances and surface finishes customers demand in fully processed cold rolled steels. Our investment in the industry’s highest skilled technicians who understand the art of steelmaking is what truly makes the Big River Steel Flex Mill® hum.
It’s the part of our Flex Mill® where beauty meets brawn and exceptional surface finish meets high formability.
Our range of cold rolled steel products is one of the most extensive in the industry, crafted by steel technicians who understand the science – and the art – of steelmaking.
On the finishing side, technicians closely monitor and control mechanical properties throughout the entire process via a continuous flow of data provided by the PLTCM and other finishing mill equipment. From the pickle line, through the cold mill and batch anneal, all the way to the temper mill, our equipment and technicians are able to craft some of the most demanding cold rolled steels.
