HRPO

Of course, surface finish is the major benefit of hot rolled pickled & oiled. But much like the company we have built, what lies beneath gives both our products and our company an edge.

At Big River Steel, we’ve turned one of the basics of steelmaking – removing oxides and/or mill scale from the surface of a hot mill strip and adding a rust inhibitor – into a modern, highly controlled technique. We manufacture a wide range of hot rolled pickled and oiled (HRPO) products through our continuous pickling line in widths ranging from 36” to 73” and thicknesses ranging from .054” to .200”.

Along with the superior surface finish our Flex Mill® technology creates, advancements in our hot mill produces grades and chemistries below the surface that are equally as impressive. Maximum flexibility and control gives our steel technicians an edge in producing the HRPO steels our customers can rely on – inside and out.
