At Charter Steel, we continue to build on our commitment to innovation in SBQ (Special Bar Quality) steel through investment, expansion and innovation.
Since rolling our first bar of SBQ in 2019, the Charter Steel team has pursued a methodical approach to advancing the technology and production of exceptionally durable high-performance steel ideal for high-stress components in applications ranging from automotive to aerospace.
How Product Innovation Fueled SBQ Capabilities Expansion
Integrating SBQ capabilities into our existing Cleveland facility required extensive planning and coordination. Retrofitting measures included installing two back-to-back KOCKS blocks with three-roll technology and ten-roll straightening systems to ensure accuracy and consistency. Additionally, we added advanced NDT (non-destructive testing) capabilities to assure product integrity and performance.
At Charter Steel, we combine our customer-centric approach with a culture of collaboration to fuel innovation that will exceed industry expectations in current and future markets.
