One of the most versatile types of high-quality rolled metal is a strip. This is a narrow metal tape used in the manufacture of cutting tools, springs, metal profiles and designs of various types. Today, in the construction industry, a large proportion of the work is carried out using metal structures, which are manufactured with the help of steel and galvanized tape.

What is a strip?

Translated from English, the term "strip" means "tape" or "strip". If you move from book to reality, then the meaning of the word exactly matches the appearance of the workpiece. The strip is a narrow, steel strip, actively used in manufacturing processes for the manufacture of metal products for various purposes. The starting material for the production of strips is most often the special sheets of cold steel or thin metal sheets wound on a rigid shaft.

Of what do?

Steel strips of different widths are produced on rolling mills by hot rolling. As a raw material, strip-shaped carbon steel of standard quality and alloyed steel strip are used. Metal steel must comply with GOST. It is produced with increased accuracy, in size from 3 to 10 meters. In the future, steel strips are used as billets for the production of welded pipes. Metal strips are part of the long products and meet the standard (GOST 535-88). After rolling on slitting lines, the strip is wound up again into a roll and in this form is used as raw material and blanks in other production processes:

• In the woodworking industry ;
• In stamping technologies;
• For the packing operation when transporting finished products;
• At realization of installation of plastic windows, designs from gypsum cardboard.

Galvanized tape

The galvanized strip is also available in sheets and rolls. It is indicated by the basic marking of the OC and corresponds to GOST 14918-80. In turn, it is divided into four groups. The first group includes a galvanized strip, designed for cold stamping. To the second group - going for coloring. The third group includes galvanized rolls and sheets intended for cold production. The fourth group includes rolls and sheets of general purpose.

Galvanized steel has both a one-sided, two-sided protective zinc, polymer coating. Successfully applied in the field of automotive industry and construction of various industrial and civil facilities.

Production requirements

A steel strip is produced by cutting or chopping cold steel and rolled galvanized steel into separate longitudinal lines. The initial blank for slitting should meet the following parameters:

Pros in using a strip

The galvanized strip is easy to maintain. It gives an opportunity to carry out the operation of packing finished products in a high-quality and fast manner both with the use of manual machines and with the use of automated packing machines.

For the product to be packed, it lies on the whole working surface, which makes it possible not to leave dents on the finished product.

The strip-tape does not rust. It is effectively protected against corrosion.

On strength, the strip is the steel tape that surpasses similar substitutes. For example, it has increased resistance to stabbing objects in various impact loads.

Packing finished products with a strip-ribbon gives a more aesthetic appearance, which can not be said for other similar products.

Main technical and economic indicators

The main areas of application of steel tape

A lot of good things can be said about tape strips. This steel narrow product is in demand in the most diverse spheres of the economy. Firstly, it is successfully used to create structures from a metal profile. Secondly, with the help of a strip, electrically welded pipes, castings, drainage and drainage systems of any configuration are formed. Thirdly, many manufacturing companies use metal strips to produce wire and various stamped products.

Fourthly, if it is necessary to organize the transportation of cargo for a long distance with the conditions for better protection against force majeure circumstances, then the material is not more reliable than the strip. This is a steel format, which is currently in demand in metallurgy, cable production, construction and repair work, and the creation of communication systems of various directions.
