The World's Leading Producer of Specialized Metal Profiles
Companies that require high-precision metal profiling rely on Bekaert for superior parts and services, from flat shapes with natural edges and sharp-edged squares to half-rounds, trapezoids and triangles. Our engineers can work closely with your team to engineer components matching all your production requirements. Whether you need to create a new product design or improve an existing one, we can help make your project successful.
Our cold-rolling processes use premium metals to produce exceptional strength and hardness while achieving high accuracy. In addition, we have various single-die, multi-die and turks head capabilities to shape metal components through innovative cold-drawing techniques. Beyond improving product quality and cost-effectiveness, both processes minimize tooling costs and reduce scrap material compared to hot-rolling methods.
Depending on your project's specific needs, we can utilize various metals for profile cutting and shaping, including:
- Stainless steel: Besides offering exceptional machinability and tensile strength, stainless steel is among the most corrosive-resistant materials.
- Low-carbon and high-carbon steel: Carbon steel is one of the most popular manufacturing metals because of its high strength, durability and formability.
- Aluminum: Despite its lighter weight, aluminum is strong, conductive and resists corrosion.
- Brass: Due to its low-friction and heat-resistance properties, brass is perfect for plumbing fixtures and other heat-exchange applications.
- Copper: Copper is a versatile metal with solid corrosion resistance and high malleability, ductility and conductivity.
