Manufacturing technology
Standard sheet metal products and special high-tech equipment are used for the manufacture of this steel grade. Production is carried out using one of the following technologies:
- Stamping – the sheet is placed on the forming table. A corresponding pattern of water ripples is engraved on the surface of the pressure press, and a high-pressure hydraulic press is used to apply physical force. The drawing is pressed into the surface due to physical impact.
- The rolled sheet is passed through the shafts of the mill, which have a corresponding relief pattern. As the sheet moves between the rolls, the pattern is gradually squeezed out on its surface.
After that, the surface is polished to a mirror-like sheen. AquaSteel branded steel is sold in Moscow in several types. The classification is based on the thickness of the rolled sheet and the type of pattern.:
- R2 is a small oblong ripple.
- R7 is a soft rounded wave.
- R8 is an imitation of an active wave.
