Ohio Steel Processor
Upgrades its Oscillated-
Coil Capabilities
Specialty Strip & Oscil- lating, Inc., Masury, OH, has installed two new oscil- lators to improve its ability to provide oscillated coils of cold-rolled, low- or high-car- bon, alloy or stainless-steel strip and sheet. New oscil- lator capabilities include face sizes from 4 to 14 in., width from 0.260 to 2.5 in., gauge from 0.009 in., welds annealed and ground, slit or deburred, straight- patterned coil walls and coiled on steel liners, fiber cores or spools.
Customers now can run a coil uninterrupted for 10 to 15 times longer than with conventional ribbon-wound coils, say company officials, eliminating downtime, coil- end scrap loss, and coil telescoping and tangling.
Specialty Strip & Oscil- lating provides oscillate coils with 20 to 25 miles of continuous strip that weigh as much as 5000 lb.
