The process of cold drawing steel at Wilton Precision Steel

U.S. MILL PARTNERSHIPS

Flat Bars

MECHANICAL DESCALING

Commonly known as shot blasting, there is nothing common about the cost-controlling efficiency built into our process. Each steel bar is individually pinged more than 1.1 billion times by machines that throw five gallons of shot every 10 seconds. Shot size mixtures are rigorously maintained to assure production speed and finish quality.

STOCK AND CUSTOM DIES

Our broad selection of internally owned and maintained dies saves time and money for WPS customers. An extensive selection of solid dies for rounds, hexes and other shapes assures access without delay.

COLD DRAWING

The cold drawing process makes steel that is stronger, straighter, brighter and closer in size and tolerance to the precise requirements of each customer application.
On all orders, our die experts and machine operators both measure and document specifications on five bars per bundle drawn - a quality assurance system unmatched in the industry.

SHEAR AND STRAIGHTEN

Precision standards on flats produced by WPS are far more stringent than the 3/16" industry standard. Custom bars are available to 1/8" deviation tolerance per 10-foot length.

Rounds, squares, flats and hex shapes fall well within the ASTM standards.

EXTENSIVE INVENTORY

Centrally located along I-80 in America's heartland, the extensive inventory maintained at Wilton Precision Steel is ideal for emergency fill-ins, as well as blanket stock and custom product orders for JIT delivery. At any time you are likely to find more product in more sizes and shapes than processor of our size.
