EPD: Hot rolled steel sections, steel rails for railway and rolled billet (Tata Steel)

Steel sections are supplied in the as-rolled or thermomechanical rolled condition from British Steel rolling mills in Scunthorpe and Teesside. These hot rolled sections can also be supplied in the shotblasted or shot-blasted and primed conditions. They include universal beams and columns, equal and un-equal angles and parallel flange channels in a range of external dimensions from less than 100mm to over 1000mm, and product weights from less than 20kg/m to over 1000kg/m. Mechanical properties of these products range from those for mild steel grades through to high strength steel grade variants. Steel rails are supplied in either the as-rolled condition or the heat treated head hardened condition from British Steel rolling mills in Scunthorpe and Hayange. Over 80 different rail profiles are produced, with section weights from 27kg/m to just over 75kg/m, for both rail wheel support and guidance, and third rail electrification requirements. Steel semi-finished long products (rolled billets) are supplied in the as-rolled condition from the British Steel rolling mill in Scunthorpe for subsequent downstream re-rolling and forging applications. The current size range for these products is 75mm to 160mm square sections, and a range of rectangles including 160mm x 70mm for cathode collector bar applications. Mechanical properties of these products range from those for mild steel grades through to ultrahigh strength steel grade variants. Rolling of billet allows for a far wider range of product dimensions than available from direct cast material. Rolled billet provide the highest levels of surface quality and high through process reduction ratios necessary for the most demanding product applications.
