PROFILES

The Profiles division has a state of the art manufacturing facility for producing custom-made hot rolled profiles, cold drawn profiles and pre shapes for cold drawing.

Hot rolled profiles are solid shapes or sections that are manufactured from either billets or wire rods. Unlike extrusion, where molten metal is pushed through a die to obtain the required shape, the hot rolling process involves shaping of the heated billets or wire rods by passing through a set of rolling stands. Each roll set has specific pass design. These profiles or sections have the same shape or cross section throughout the length i.e. they are two dimensional shapes.

Sections have better dimensional tolerances & consistency due to continuity in rolling.
Sections have better surface finish due to low scaling.
Minimum order quantity can be as low as 5 MT per section per section.
