Stainless Steel Rolling in Oxfordshire and Across the UK
At LTi Metaltech, our stainless steel rolling services deliver precision cold-rolling of stainless steel plate to create cylinders, shells, and pressure vessel components with exceptional dimensional accuracy and surface integrity. Operating from our state-of-the-art facility in Oxfordshire, we serve clients across the UK in the nuclear, fusion, energy, healthcare, and renewable sectors - where structural reliability and cleanliness are paramount.
Our rolling capabilities form a critical part of our high-integrity fabrication process, ensuring consistent curvature, precise alignment, and optimal surface finish for stainless steel assemblies that meet stringent engineering and regulatory standards.
Precision Cold-Rolling for High-Integrity Applications
Using advanced CNC-controlled rolling equipment, we shape stainless steel plates into cylindrical and conical forms with uniform curvature and repeatable accuracy. The cold-rolling process preserves the material’s structural and metallurgical integrity - avoiding heat distortion and maintaining the strength, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic finish required for high-purity and pressure-rated components.
Our experienced technicians work to tight tolerances, ensuring that every rolled section fits seamlessly into downstream fabrication or welding operations.
