Processing
Sydney steel supplier processing capabilities
BlueScope Distribution Sydney provides steel processing services that help us deliver the products our clients need in the form they are needed. We offer a wide range of steel processing capabilities that cover our array of steel products, such as sheet and coil, plate and structural products. Our processing services enable us to deliver custom cut and processed steel that enable our customers to save time and costs.
Sheet and coil processing services
- Slitting and recoiling for steel coils – Our teams at BlueScope Distribution Sydney are highly skilled in handling and processing steel coil products. We take large steel coils from the BlueScope mill and slit and recoil them into sizes our customers require to suit their application needs. Recoiling involves rewinding large steel coils into smaller coils to a desired weight, while slitting involves feeding steel into a slitter machine to cut the coil into narrower strips, which are then rewound or recoiled into smaller coils for more efficient storage and transportation.
- Shearing for steel sheets – Our shearing services involve cutting steel coils into sheet steel and stacking them in palletised packs for easier and more efficient delivery, storage, and utilisation on our customer’s end products. We maintain a stock of standard sheet sizes of our trusted COLORBOND® steel, as well as hot rolled and cold rolled sheet, and are ready to determine your requirements for any type of project.
Plate processing services
- Plasma cutting services – Among our steel processing capabilities, we offer plasma cutting services, which involves cutting, drilling and bevelling options allowing parts to be finished in one set up. Our plasma cutting services provide fast cutting, minimisation of waste material through nesting, shape generation using CAD/CAM, and the capability of accurately cutting long shapes. We efficiently transform rectangular steel plates into components of specified shape and size, which are semi-finished and ready for fabrication by our customers, saving them time and labour.
- Oxy cutting services – At BlueScope Distribution Sydney, we offer a range of oxy cutting plate processing services that give our customers access to flexible options. Our oxy cutting services lets them have their steel cut the way they require through shape generation using CAD/CAM. The result is ready to use steel for applications such as manufacturing, transport and automotive, defence, infrastructure and agriculture.
- Bevel, drilling & etching – Among our many steel processing services, we have bevelling, which involves creating an angled edge required for optimum welding, drilling in which we pre-drill holes into the steel, and etching, which involves lightly scratching the surface of steel to provide useful markings that help with welding and other production processes. BlueScope Distribution Sydney also offers countersinking, tapping, milling, punching, hard stamping, and pin marking.
Structural and long products processing
- Beamline and other long products – Our team in Sydney offers structural beamline services that allows customers the option to pre-process structural steel products such as welded beams and columns, channels, RHS, flats and angles. Using these steel materials, we are able to provide square and mitre cutting, drilling, marking, and hard stamping, which results in precise cutting and drilling to exact specification, reduction in fabrication time and labour, and better utilisation of material reducing waste. We also offer the option for small cut to length tube products.
