cOIL OR SHEET

As part of our material supply we offer a wide variety of sizes and gauges supplied on the coil or in sheet form, all of which are oil, grease and scratch free. With our specialised handling and cutting machinery, we can cut from coil, stack and ship sheets in the dimensions you require.
Working closely with steel mills we have developed our own precision grade stainless steels to meet exacting specifications and dimensional accuracy. One of our specialist stainless steels has had its mechanical properties managed in such a way that it enables it to perform better than standard stainless steel when put under high tension.
All Datum stainless steel has a homogenous grain structure and low internal stress which means it remains flat allowing you to cut and machine to tight dimensional tolerances.
