Steel service centers

About seventy percent of the metal passing through steel service centers undergoes some form of pre-production processing, such as slitting, shearing, sawing, grinding, flame cutting, coil coating, and cutting-to-length. Hypertherm's HyPerformance line of mechanized plasma systems ensure consistent cut quality and reduced angularity, which are important to the service centers' customers.

Some of the ways steel service centers use plasma include:

• Cutting steel plate to size.
• Cutting steel rods and tubes to length.
