Edging
Edging at Heidtman Steel refines steel to deliver clean, precise edges that enhance performance and appearance. Whether it’s for improved safety, workability, or aesthetics, our advanced edging process ensures your steel meets the highest standards for quality and consistency.
About This Process
Edging is a steel finishing process that smooths and reshapes the edges of steel strips or coils, improving their precision, safety, and functionality. By eliminating sharp, uneven edges, the process prepares steel for further manufacturing while reducing risks during handling and processing. This step is crucial for applications requiring clean, consistent, and high-quality steel edges.
- Smooths and reshapes edges for safer handling and improved functionality.
- Enhances precision and dimensional accuracy of steel strips.
- Reduces edge cracks and imperfections, improving material quality.
- Compatible with a variety of steel grades and thicknesses.
