A Smooth, Clean Surface for Steel
The remarkable SCS process removes dirt, rust and mill scale from hot rolled steel, leaving a microns-thin layer of polished oxide that resists rusting – with no oil or coating needed. The processed sheets, plates or coils are 'napkin clean' with a smooth finish that's prime for painting and most fabrication processes.
Savings for Fabricators

This smooth, clean surface offers proven fabrication benefits:
- laser cut up to 35% faster
- plasma cut up to 50% faster
- stronger, more uniform welds
- reduction in welding fumes
- tube mills run faster
- work areas stay cleaner
- better quality & less scrap
Lean Paint Prep, Premium Finish
SCS processed steel offers a superior paint finish with proven corrosion resistance that beats HRPO or hot roll black steel. You may even achieve these results with a leaner paint prep – like replacing a multi-stage pre- treatment with a simple phosphate and rinse regimen, saving time and money.
