Raw Material Guarantee

Quality starts with the steel we buy: qualified mills only, and every batch checked before it enters our stock.

Steel From Qualified Mills Only

We buy from 25 of China's leading steel mills, including Baosteel, Ansteel, Shagang and WISCO, and match each order to the mill that makes that grade and standard best.

Incoming Material Identification

Before any steel is accepted into our warehouses, our inspectors check it against the order in four steps.

1

Verify the mill certificate

Every batch arrives with the mill's test certificate. We check the heat number, grade, standard, chemical composition and mechanical properties against the purchase order before the steel is accepted into stock.

2

Check dimensions and thickness

Our inspectors measure thickness, width, diameter, wall thickness and length with calipers, micrometers and thickness gauges, and compare the results with the tolerance of the ordered standard.

Inspect surface and coating

We look for scale, scratches, rust, edge damage and flatness problems. On galvanized, Galvalume and ZAM products the coating thickness is measured with a coating gauge.

Record, mark and store by batch

Accepted steel is labelled, recorded and stored by batch and heat number, so every piece we ship can be traced back to its mill certificate.

Quality Is Our Commitment

Checking raw material before it enters stock protects product quality, keeps processing efficient, meets the standards of your market and protects the reputation of every project our steel goes into. If a batch does not match the order, it does not ship.
