SCS Treatment

SCS is a patented mechanical brushing surface treatment that improves hot rolled black strip, making it a better base material for fabricators and OEMs. This environmentally-friendly process gives hot band sheets or coils a clean, rust-resistant ‘cold rolled’ surface ready for fabrication or painting. SCS-processed steel gives manufacturers advantages in cost, quality, environmental impact and procees cycle time for making products as diverse as saw blades, welded tubes, rail cars and a wide range of fabricated sheet metal parts.

The pages listed below use video clips to explain how SCS technology works and how its superior surface is achieved. Visit each page for full details:

Laboratory Test Report

SCS has undergone
thorough testing of its
metallurgical properties,
manufacturing applications
and corrosion resistance
(paint performance). The
more formal laboratory
test results are compiled in
a single report shown here.
It is a useful reference for
fabricators and finishers who
are working with SCS for the
first time. The latest version
can be downloaded in Adobe
pdf format from THIS LINK.

Several of the tests were conducted using conventional hot band, HRPO or CRS side-by-side with the SCS. This affords a direct comparison of SCS with the most commonly used flat rolled steels.

The SCS Lab Test Report is updated regularly, so bookmark this page as a quick way to make sure you have access to the latest version.
