The Halvorsen Company provides plate rolling services, working with carbon steel, carbon alloys, stainless steel, stainless alloys, aluminum, copper, and most all plate materials, ranging from 3/8” thick to 4-1/2”, and up to 12’-8” wide. We strive to exceed expectations and industry standards in lead times, quality and service, at fair and competitive prices. Once you work with Halvorsen, you will see why our clients come to us for heavy plate rolling. We are experts in close tolerance work, and have many years of experience in high quality cylindrical and conical rolling.
Our experienced staff is a team of plate rolling experts. By understanding the physical and chemical properties of the materials we are working with, we can anticipate how the material will react to the stresses created by rolling, and allow for these characteristics in the finished product. We can both hot and cold roll plates, depending on material and thickness. We will press brake start, trim, weld prep bevel, roll and tack your materials, and we offer ASME welding and documentation should you choose to have us weld seams and re-roll to size/roundness, and supply ASME Code Partial Data Reports.
To talk to us about your plate rolling needs, or about shells or other rolled or formed components, please call 1-800-423-7080 and ask for Justin Frick or a Sales Engineer, or email to sales@halvorsenusa.com.
