Steel sheet and steel strip are very similar and yet so distinctly different products, the real and fundamental difference is QUALITY. There are many instances where the cheaper "steel sheet" will do and all costs are considered at a savings. On the contrary, there are many instances where "genuine steel strip only" will do at a final cost less than sheet steel.

When to choose steel sheet?

* Sheet steel's broad tolerances will do.
* The fabricating operations are not too complicated and do not require
intricate, expensive dies.
* High speed production is not required fairly heavy, oversize gauge variations are not objectionable.
* If a fine surface finish is not essential.
* A good base for paint or enamel is desired.
* if wide variations in physical characteristics are permissible.


When to choose steel strip?

* If strip steel's close tolerances are required.
* If high speed production methods are employed.
* You wish to avoid rapid die wear due to heavy oversize gauge variations.
* If you want selected tempers for maximum strength and lightest weight.
* If you want maximum "square footage" for greatest parts yield per ton.
* If you require a fine finish or a better base for plating.
* If you must have a high degree of uniformity of chemistry and physical
properties - plus precision tolerances.


Steel sheet and steel strip are available in coil and cut lengths and in all tempers and quantities of one pound and over.
