Quality Control

Quality is a central element of our production process. To ensure product compliance with the required specifications, we carry out accurate checks throughout every stage of processing, ensuring precision, continuity and traceability.

Quality control stages

1

Raw materials

Dimensional and documentary checks are carried out on incoming material to verify compliance with the required technical specifications.

2

Document management

Quotations and order confirmations are managed in written form and accompanied by a detailed technical sheet.

3

Constant monitoring

The computerized order management system, integrated with the machine park, allows precise control of the entire production cycle.

4

In-process checks

In-line laser measurement, continuous dimensional checks and manual controls with precision instruments.

5

Final inspections

Visual inspection, verification of surface, edges and straightness on every coil at the end of the production process.

6

Laboratory and traceability

In-house mechanical tests and complete batch traceability throughout all stages of production.

FAQ

What is cold rolling?

Cold rolling is a plastic deformation process carried out at room temperature, therefore below the recrystallization temperature of the metal. During processing, the material is compressed between rotating rolls that reduce its thickness and permanently modify its shape.

Can cold-rolled product be an alternative to drawn product?

Yes. Compared to drawn product, cold-rolled product has less porous surfaces, often better suited to high-quality surface treatments. The production process is also more flexible, because it allows product dimensions to be changed by adjusting the rolling mill, without the need for dedicated tooling for each size. Drawn product guarantees tighter dimensional tolerances, but cold-rolled product is often more competitive in terms of flexibility and cost, especially for small sections under 200 mm².

Can rerolled and edged strips replace slit strip?

In many cases, yes. Rerolled and edged strips are a valid alternative to slit strip when material continuity and edge quality are essential aspects. In fact, slit strip may have irregular edges and sharp corners, which affect both the aesthetic-functional quality of the product and the safety and performance of surface treatments.

What is the difference between cold rolling and hot rolling?

Cold rolling is carried out at room temperature and makes it possible to achieve greater dimensional precision and a smoother, more uniform finish. Hot rolling, on the other hand, takes place at high temperatures above 1000°C and is generally better suited when material workability is prioritized over final precision and surface quality.

When is it convenient to choose cold rolling?

Cold rolling is particularly suitable when good precision, better surface finish, greater production continuity and a cost-effective solution are required. For this reason it is often chosen as an effective alternative both to drawn product and, in certain cases, to traditional slit strip.
