Latrobe Specialty Steel Company

Steel rolling
Our continuous rolling mill (CRM) imposes exacting tolerances, ideal roundness and careful surface management on the most challenging and exotic materials.

We designed it for difficult-to-work materials: titanium and nickel alloys and high-speed, die, bearing and stainless steels. It converts 4-to-5-inch (101.600-to-127.000 mm) billets weighing 500 to 1,300 pounds (226.790 to 589.670 kg) into round or hexagonal bars and coils ranging in diameter from 0.222 inches (5.638 mm) to 3 inches (75.000 mm).

Process

Our unique 24-stand mill produces high alloy bars and coils with unmatched efficiency. From induction heating and equalizing through roughing and reduction rolling, shearing, cooling and coiling, our computer-controlled equipment and expert operators closely monitor every stage of the process. Our billet conditioning department, which prepares materials for rolling or forging, is one of the most modern in the USA. For a closer look at Latrobe’s CRM, see our Latrobe Specialty Rolling Services brochure.

Quality

An unequalled capacity for maintaining tight tolerances and roundness improves both our yield and yours by reducing machining allowances. Throughout the rolling sequence, continuous in-line hot eddy current and electromagnetic tests prevent defects from reaching downstream processes.

Toll Services
Rolling is just one of the toll processing services that we provide to independent producers of titanium, nickel based alloys and other metals for aerospace, military and energy applications.
