Surface finishing

Steel grinding services

We grind slabs, billets, round steel blocks, electrodes, blooms, forgings, semi-finished products, plates and heavy plates, as well as many other steel products, for further industrial processing. We select stone or belt grinding to suit the material and required result.

Rough grinding

Stone grinding allows us to repair surfaces selectively or across larger areas. We can also grind products to a required thickness and machine edges.

02

Fine grinding

Our belt grinding systems work in the tenths-of-a-millimetre range. On request, we produce fine surfaces with defined roughness values such as Ra, Rg or Rz.

03

Dimensions

  • Thickness: 4–600 mm
  • Width: up to 3,000 mm
  • Length: up to 25,000 mm
  • Weight: up to 32 t, in special cases up to 50 t
  • Material removal per pass: up to 0.3 mm with belt grinding, up to 3.0 mm with stone grinding
04

Slab grinding

We grind slabs for further industrial processing. Depending on their initial condition, we process individual surface defects or larger areas and grind the material to the required thickness. Steel grade, dimensions and required material removal determine the grinding scope.

Billet grinding

We prepare billets for further processing by grinding. Cross-section, length, surface condition and required material removal determine whether individual areas or larger surfaces need processing.

Round steel block and electrode grinding

We grind round steel blocks and metallic electrodes for further industrial processing. This includes surface grinding of electrodes in preparation for remelting. We agree the grinding scope based on material grade, diameter, length and surface condition.

Bloom grinding

We grind blooms and prepare steel feedstock for further industrial processing. Depending on the surface condition, we process individual defects or larger areas. Please provide the material grade, dimensions, quantity and required material removal so that we can agree the grinding scope with you.

Forged part grinding

We grind forged parts and process their surfaces for further manufacturing. Depending on the component geometry and requirements, we process individual defects or larger areas.

Semi-finished steel grinding

Material grade, initial condition and the next production step determine the requirements. To assess your enquiry, we need the cross-section, length, quantity and required material removal.

Steel plate and heavy plate grinding

Steel plate and heavy plate grinding can focus on thickness or surface finish. Please specify the initial and target thickness and any required roughness values and tolerances.

Contract grinding for steel products and plates

Our contract grinding service processes your steel products on your behalf. Depending on their initial condition and your requirements, we remove surface defects, grind to the required thickness or produce the agreed surface finish using stone or belt grinding.

For an enquiry, please provide the material grade, dimensions, quantity and weight, together with the required processing outcome. Specify the required material removal or target thickness and any defined roughness values and tolerances. Drawings or photographs help us assess feasibility and agree the grinding scope with you.
