Steel Profile Options

DEECO Metals offers a full spectrum of steel extrusion processes, each optimized to achieve specific material properties and design requirements:

Cold Drawn Steel

Cold drawn steel is a manufacturing process that forms extruded profiles with complex cross sections. The process begins with primary pre-treatment and descaling of the steel. The extruded steel profiles are then drawn through a forming die. This process can be repeated 3 to 4 times if necessary. The cold drawn process of hot rolled steel tightens the cross-sectional tolerances, thus leading to significant improvement in dimensional accuracy and surface quality. Some other advantages relating to this extrusion method, includes:

Smooth and scale-free surface
Sharp edges
Uninterrupted grain orientation
Increased tensile strength and yield point

Hot Extrusion

The hot extrusion process takes place when a round steel billet is pre-heated and, after leaving the furnace, it is then pushed through a forming die into a profile bar using a ram with an extrusion force of 2,200 ton. A hotmelt extruder can be used to make complex profile shapes even using metals which are difficult to form. In addition, small lot sizes can be produced economically. Other benefits of hot extrusion, includes:

Different material thicknesses within one profile cross-section
The possibility to use in highly sensitive areas, where the special profiles must withstand specific demands of temperature, pressure, aggressive media or hygienic requirements
Seamless structure of solid and hollow section

Hot Rolled Steel

The hot rolled process of creating extruded steel shapes is conducted by using two oppositely rotating cylindrical rolls. Hot rolled special profiles offer innovative solutions whether it be for automotive, materials handling, railroad or thicker flange and web thickness structural steel shapes use. Finished hot rolled steel shapes are roller straightened and sheared into production lengths or sawn into fixed lengths according to customer wishes. Some other beneficial qualities of hot rolled extruded steel shapes, include:

Targeted strengthening of highly stressed areas of component parts
Best mechanical properties through uninterrupted grain orientation
Best shape properties and fitting accuracy by maintenance of the tightest tolerances

Why Choose Steel Extrusions?

Steel is relatively easy to extrude, making it ideal for complex profiles and intricate part shapes
Steel is also considerably less expensive than many other metals and alloys, making it well-suited to high quantity production runs
Because the material is readily available and easy to work with, custom steel extruded shapes can often be delivered in faster turnaround times than those produced from other metals

Please note that steel extruded shapes generally require secondary plating or finishing to prevent rust and corrosion.

Choose DEECO Metals for Large Mill Runs of Steel Extrusion Profiles

DEECO Metals was founded in 1987 for a group of international metal producers based in South Africa, New Zealand, Australia and the UK. The goal was to create a company with a technical and metallurgical background in manufacturing metal and metal parts. We are proud to have effectively served our local and global customers for the past 38 years. We have used our experience and technical expertise to fulfill the requirements of our many satisfied customers across the USA, Canada, and South America since then.
