Slit Hot Rolled Steel Strip

01. Product Overview

When your production requires narrower steel widths than a standard hot rolled coil provides, slit hot rolled steel strip offers a practical material format. Longitudinal slitting divides wider hot rolled steel coils into narrower strips, providing finished widths suited to specific manufacturing processes and reducing the need for additional width-reduction processing at the customer's facility.

At Shanxi Midas Industrial Co., Ltd., we supply steel coils, steel plates, steel strips, H-beams and other steel products for industrial and construction applications. Our carbon steel hot rolled strip range includes multiple material grades and dimensional options for further processing and manufacturing.

Slit hot rolled steel strip is used in applications such as:

• Steel Pipe and Tube Manufacturing: Narrow steel strips serve as raw material for pipe and tube forming and welding.
• Roll Forming: Strip material is used to produce metal profiles and formed sections.
• Structural Fabrication: Hot rolled steel strip provides material for fabricated components and structural parts.
• Machinery Manufacturing: Steel strip is used in agricultural machinery, construction machinery, lifting equipment and other industrial applications.
• General Metal Processing: Suitable strips can be used for cutting, bending, stamping and further fabrication.

The main purchasing advantage is having steel material in a width and coil format aligned with the next manufacturing stage. Steel grade, thickness, finished width, edge condition and coil configuration determine whether the material matches the intended production process.

How to Select the Right Steel Strip

Steel Grade and Standard

Choose the grade according to the required strength, formability and applicable material standard. For manufacturing and structural applications, check the required chemical composition and mechanical properties before ordering.

Thickness and Finished Width

Thickness affects material selection and forming requirements, while finished width determines how the strip fits the production process. Specify the nominal width after slitting, together with the permitted dimensional tolerance.

Mechanical Properties

Yield strength, tensile strength, elongation and hardness are important selection criteria for forming, welding, stamping and structural fabrication. The required values should correspond to the applicable grade and material standard.

Surface and Edge Condition

Surface condition and slit-edge quality matter when steel strip passes through forming equipment or undergoes further welding, coating or fabrication. Define whether mill edge, slit edge, deburred edge or another specified edge condition is required.

Coil Configuration

Specify the required inner diameter (ID), outer diameter (OD) and maximum coil weight according to unwinding equipment, handling arrangements and storage capacity.

03. Slitting, Supply Forms & Customization

We offer steel strip supply options covering different material and processing requirements. The required finished width, supply form and edge condition should be included in the purchasing specification.

Available Supply Forms

Customization Options

For custom-width orders, provide the nominal finished width and required tolerance rather than describing the material simply as narrow strip. The requested thickness, grade and slitting requirements are considered together when establishing the order specification.

04. Manufacturing & Quality Control

Steel strip quality depends on material traceability, dimensional control, edge condition and coil consistency. These factors are particularly important when the material is used in continuous feeding, stamping or roll-forming processes.

Our steel strip quality-control requirements cover the following areas:

Material Traceability

Lot control connects incoming raw material with finished products and packaging. Heat numbers and chemical analysis records provide traceability for the supplied material.

Slitting Control

Slitting control focuses on:

• Finished strip width and width tolerance
• Edge camber
• Burr level
• Winding quality

These factors affect strip feeding, tooling protection and the handling of finished coils.

Dimensional and Mechanical Inspection

Inspection requirements can include thickness, width, flatness, camber and mechanical properties such as tensile strength, yield strength and hardness. Acceptance criteria are established according to the agreed material specification.

Inspection Documentation

Material Test Certificates (MTC), chemical analysis and mechanical test results can be specified as order documentation requirements. Where EN 10204 3.1 or equivalent documentation is required, it should be included in the purchase specification.

05. Manufacturing & Supply Support

Established in 2012, we specialize in the research, development, design, production and sale of steel products, including steel coils, plates, strips and H-beams. Our factory profile lists a factory area of 600,000 m² and a building area of 10,000 m².
