Cold rolled alloy steel strip has high requirements for production technology. In steelmaking, hot rolling, cold rolling, heat treatment and finishing of the various processes are more difficult to produce, its full process of consistent manufacturing technology, especially hot rolling control and heat treatment are the core.
Volda adopts the mode of hot-rolled blanks from large steel companies such as BaoSteel, Shougang Steel, utilizing proprietary mills to process cold rolling and annealing to meet the requirements of dimensional accuracy and excellent surface quality.

• Thickness Tolerance (mm)
Several different grades of thickness allowance― A(standard) and S, SS, and SSS(special)― are available. The thickness is
measured arbitrarily at more than 10 mm from the edge of the steel. When the width is 20 mm or less, the steel is measured in the center portion.
