Outstanding surface finish

HIBRITE cold-rolled steel and HIBRITE nickel-plated steel products offer a superb surface finish in a choice of ‘bright’ or ‘mirror’. HIBRITE finishes exceed the industry norms of ‘MC’ standard for mirror finish and ‘MB’ standard for bright finish. Bright and mirror finishes negate the need for grinding and polishing.

 

Main benefits of our surface-finished cold-rolled steel include:

  • end-products of consistent and reliable quality

  • improved end-product performance

  • trouble-free, repeatable processing

  • opportunities to reduce processing steps

  • minimised waste

The shiny surfaces are ideal for electroplating with chrome, copper or bright nickel. The fine-grained steel structure of HIBRITE makes it highly suitable for stamping and deep drawing.  The reliable quality of HIBRITE delivers additional benefits for further processing and end-products. It is available in a wide range of thicknesses to meet the most demanding applications.

We can also tailor HIBRITE and other cold-rolled steel products to meet your exact processing and end-product requirements.

 

High-strength steel (HSS)

We have introduced high-strength steel as an alternative substrate for stainless steel. Tata Steel's cold-rolled steel or cold-rolled strip is available as high-strength steel when the cold-rolling process uses either high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) substrates or higher carbons.
