Rolled to Order
Re-Steel rolls Invar and other alloy plates to order. Each plate can be custom rolled on demand to the exact geometry needed to comply with the most technically demanding industry standards. With our experienced staff at the helm, precision is guaranteed. Re-Steel’s expertise in rolling plates minimizes waste for complex and demanding projects, and the money saved through our process is reflected in our pricing. The design engineers, estimators and procurement personnel who use our products achieve better yields to reduce costs.
Re-Steel purchases semi finished slabs and ingots from qualified specialty steel producers and utilizes excess rolling mill capacity to convert the reheated slabs into finished plate. Re-Steel has the ability to roll plate up to 10″ (254 mm) with a max width of 120″ (3 m) and max length of 1,000″ (25 m).
Invar is a specialty Iron-Nickel alloy with a low thermal coefficient of expansion that allows Invar to hold its shape at high temperatures. This quality to hold its shape makes Invar ideal for applications that require dimensional stability, including composite tooling, precision instruments, marine components and wind turbines. The term Invar is a registered trade name, and refers to the “invariable” dimensional properties of the metal. Over the years, the term Invar has evolved into the semi-generic name for a family of Fe-Ni alloys based on minor chemical modifications.
Invar has been widely used for high performance composite tooling applications since the 1990s.
Re-Steel stocks common sizes of Invar plate, and rolls plate to exact industry specifications to fill custom orders. This process allows us to deliver our product quickly, and provides a significant cost advantage compared to others in the specialty metals industry.
