1 SPECIAL PROFILES
ABOUT SPECIAL
PROFILES
Our Special Profiles mill is located in Skinningrove in the
north east of England; from here we are able to deliver all
around the world.

We provide unique steel solutions for unique applications;

our extensive range of special profiles is used to make
components for a wide range of industries from shipbuilding
to construction and earthmoving equipment; material
handling to mining.

Whether its building a ship, manufacturing earthmoving

equipment or designing a mine shaft, our technical and roll
design teams are on hand to work with you to create the
optimum profile shape for your application.

We can roll profiles up to 260kg/metre – from simple

profiles with non-standard dimensions, to highly complex
and asymmetrical shapes. We supply both ‘reserved’
profiles designed for individual customer needs and ‘open’
roll profiles which are available to all customers. Through
establishing long-term relationships with our customers we
are able to help them develop and modify the profile ranges
they require.

We also offer additional processing including cold sawing

to exact length, shot blasting, painting and a range
of fabrication and machining operations to meet our
customers’ requirements.

1.1 BULB FLATS
1.1 BULB FLATS

Light weight corrosion resistant solution for

plate stiffening

Bulb flats are the most cost-effective, efficient and corrosion-

resistant solution for plate stiffening. They provide an excellent
strength to weight ratio delivering buckling resistance at a
lower weight than flat bars or angles.

We supply bulb flats in a wide range of steel types and grades.

We also offer a choice of finishing services to meet our
customers’ needs. These include:
• Shot blasting and priming – to provide improved
fabrication performance and protection
• Weld edge preparation to reduce preparation required for
automated welding
• A range of enhanced dimensional tolerances giving
further weight and engineering enhancements to your
designs

Our flexible and regular rolling programme of all our products

means we can help our customers achieve closer project
schedule adherence.

We are ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 compliant. We also have

approval of the world’s leading classification societies
including: ABS, BV, CCS, DNV, GL, LRS, RINA and MRRS.

CATHODE BARS
1.2 CONDUMAX® CATHODE BARS

Helping our customers improve their energy

performance

We work with primary aluminium smelters to offer high

quality cathode collector bars for use in aluminium
production.

Condumax cathode bars have a unique chemical

composition of 0.01% carbon, significantly lower than the
0.04-0.06% carbon content present in other commercially
available cathode collector bars.

Our quality steelmaking practices ensure tight control of

chemistry giving consistency of carbon and other trace
elements between bars for predictable performance

Our unique chemistry offers significant benefits:

• Up to 40% lower resistivity than mild steel cathode bars
• 10% lower measured electrical resistivity in production
trial vs. competitors’ ultra-low resistivity cathode bars
• Longer service life and lower energy use in service
• 60 tonne reduction of CO2 emissions per pot over the
lifetime of the pot

Certification is in accordance with EN 10204 Type 3.1 analysis

only.

We offer 3 boron-treated steels with a nominal carbon

content of 0.3%. Increasing levels of alloy content are
available to allow customers to match section thickness
and heat-treatment quench severity with hardenability. This
ensures a suitable core hardness is achieved in the finished
blade.

Heat-treatment of the blade improves toughness levels
without significant loss of hardness. The optimum
application of our standard and lower carbon range of
boron steels depends both on the section thickness and
on heat-treatment, particularly with respect to the quench
severity.

Shaft guides for mining applications

Our tophat shaft guides offer a high-quality, cost-effective
hoisting system for use in vertical mineshafts. They’re
designed to give maximum productivity and service life in
modern deep mine operations.

We have been working with the manufacturers of mining

equipment for many years and understand equipment must
be carefully designed and built to meet exacting demands.

Our unique open section tophat guides offer many benefits

including:
• Faster installation and replacement
• Pre-installation of butt strap connections
• Cost-effective installation
• Easier inspection and detection of defects
• 3 x longer life than alternative solutions
• Close-dimensional control and straightness, meaning
less swing in the shaft and a smoother lift
• Faster hoisting speeds due to their stiffness and higher
resistance to slamming forces

STRUCTURAL
SECTIONS
3.5 S460M HIGH-STRENGTH
STRUCTURAL SECTIONS
High-strength S460M sections from British Steel deliver the
optimum balance between cost and weight.
Manufactured in the UK to carefully controlled standards,
our high-strength sections outperform existing steel grades
through their higher tensile and yield strength.
Typical applications for this steel grade include multi-storey
and high-rise buildings, as well as a wide range of other
commercial and industrial uses.

Benefits of using high-strength S460M in your building:

• Cost reduction: less weight and lighter foundations
reduce overall building costs
• Increased space: lighter sections will allow an increase in
overall space within the building
• Lower embodied carbon: less carbon in direct proportion
to the weight saving
• Reduced carbon emissions: less weight means less
transport and less raw material consumption

Our S460 strength is achieved through microstructural

engineering, so provides optimal results in thermal processes
such as welding.

3.6 WEATHERING STEEL
STRUCTURAL
SECTIONS
3.6 WEATHERING STEEL
STRUCTURAL SECTIONS
Weathering steel from British Steel offers an attractive and
economic solution for many structures, including bridges,
buildings and catenary gantries.
Self-protecting, durable and attractive, weathering steel is
ideal for a whole range of outdoor structures in exposed
locations.
Weathering steel is a high-strength, low alloy steel that
defends itself from corrosion by forming a protective oxide
patina, eliminating the need for paint or other protective
coatings.
The steel’s corrosion rate is so low that structures fabricated
from unpainted weathering steel can achieve long lifespans
– in some cases up to 120 years – with only minimal
maintenance.

Benefits of using weathering steel in your project:

• Low maintenance: ideal for bridges and structures where
access is difficult or dangerous
• Cost reduction: no need for protective painting and low
maintenance reduces associated costs e.g. road or rail
possession
• Environmental benefits: no volatile organic compounds
from paint or disposal of blast-cleaning debris from
future maintenance
• Attractive appearance: mature weathering steel often
blends pleasingly with the environment, changing and
improving with age
• Speed of construction: without site painting operations,
overall construction time is reduced
• Enhanced safety: painting issues are eliminated and
future maintenance risks are minimised such as welding

4 RAIL
ABOUT RAIL
Based in Scunthorpe since 2006, our rail manufacturing
dates back to the mid-nineteenth century, when the first
public railways were making a major impact on transport
throughout the world.

Our innovations have included several world firsts including

the Bessemer conversion method of steel production,
continuous casting of rail steel and non-destructive testing
technologies.

We work in partnership with rail customers to understand

their demands and develop products that directly address
their needs for more rail life with fewer maintenance
requirements.

That means we play a central role in helping the rail industry

rise to the challenges of higher traffic volumes, heavier axle
loads and faster train speeds.

We provide a wide range of high performance rail products

of up to 120m in length (or 216m in welded strings) to
meet the needs of international high speed, heavy duty,
mixed traffic, metro and tramway networks. These are
supplied in accordance with directive 2008/57/EC for rail
interoperability.

Our technical consultancy team is available to provide

advice and support, helping customers to optimise their
rail selections. Rail products and grades can be matched
precisely to track conditions, track types, environmental
conditions and a host of other variables to ensure that every
rail we deliver provides optimum performance throughout
its service life.

Excellent wear and RCF resistance

Our High Performance non heat-treated rails are our most
wear-resistant grades:
• Designed for curved track and other high duty areas
• Metallurgically engineered to offer improved resistance
to wear and rolling contact fatigue (RCF) compared to
standard grade rail, greatly reducing the need for rail
grinding and track maintenance
• Uniform through-hardness for consistent performance
throughout the life of the rail
• Delivering extended rail life and reduced rail life cycle
costs
• Our HP range meets all the quality, production and
dimensional requirements set out in the EN 13674-1
standard for rails – the next revision of EN 13674-1 is due
to include HP335 as a new grade, with the CEN technical
committee working draft including HP335 under the
name R335V
• HP335 can be supplied, by agreement, as HP350 with an
enhanced hardness equivalent to that usually only found
in heat treated rails – suitable for heavy duty freight lines

Developed in partnership with UK customer Network Rail
who required a durable coating to withstand corrosion.

Zinoco offers 2 lines of defence:

• Durable barrier to combat corrosion
• Provides sacrificial protection, so still works if the coating
is damaged

Zinoco coated rail protects against corrosion in the orange

areas highlighted in the diagram below, enabling the rail to
resist pitting, gall and general loss of section due to corrosion.

Currently being used by Network Rail (UK) and RATP (France),

and approved for use by Irish Rail (Ireland) and London

4.4 STEEL SLEEPERS
4.4 STEEL SLEEPERS

Lower lifetime costs with efficient logistics

Our steel sleepers are designed for use in all types of
application, from metre gauge railways to mainline passenger
and heavy haul routes.

They require less ballast than traditional concrete sleepers,

leading to reduced track construction and renewal costs.

Once installed, steel sleepers don’t rot or suffer from insect

attacks. They also survive well in wet tropical climates where
wood decays rapidly.

Being fully recyclable, our steel sleepers also benefit from

a smaller carbon footprint, making it easier to hit your
sustainability targets.

Steel sleepers are stackable and because they are lighter

than concrete sleepers, can be moved in bundles by a
forklift (or manually handled if regulations allow).

Often requiring only a third of the vehicle movements

needed by concrete sleepers, using our steel sleepers helps
to keep transportation costs to a minimum.

Our steel sleepers can be delivered with all fastening

systems pre-installed, helping to keep your installation times
to a minimum.

5 SEMI-FINISHED
PRODUCTS
ABOUT SEMI-FINISHED
PRODUCTS
Our integrated steelmaking site at Scunthorpe produces
a variety of semi-finished products to suit our customers’
rolling requirements for long, structural or general
engineering products.

Our steel is produced through the basic oxygen steelmaking

(BOS) process, and can then be refined as appropriate in a
ladle arc furnace and vacuum degasser facilities.

These processes control the steel temperatures and

chemistries extremely tightly, ensuring our wide range
of steel grades meet the most demanding customer
requirements.

Our slabs, blooms and billets are continuously cast in

sequences and the steel is fully shrouded between the ladle
and the tundish and for slabs and blooms, between tundish
and mould. Hood cooling may also be used for slabs and
blooms to remove hydrogen, depending on the hydrogen
content and specification required. On completion, our
billets are identified to cast level, while blooms and slabs are
uniquely-identified to ensure traceability.

British Steel is accredited to both ISO 9001:2015 for our

quality management system and ISO 14001:2015 for our
environmental management system. Our steelmaking and
casting processes also hold ABS, BV, CCS, DNV, LRS and
RINA shipbuilding accreditations.

In addition to verifying the chemical composition and

segregation of our steel, we have well-equipped laboratories
onsite where other tests can be conducted as required.
