Metal finishing Capabilities
We have a wide variety of metal finishing capabilities that afford us the ability to handle the most demanding jobs.
With brand-new slitting knives and shimless tooling, and an in-house team that regularly updates our equipment, Eagle Metals is well-equipped to provide you with the cleanest slit edge in the marketplace with our precision slitting services.
We slit stainless steel and spring-tempered copper alloy material 0.0002" up to soft coppers and brasses 0.125" thick. Our slitters range in ability, slitting as narrow as 0.031" wide to full-size stainless steel coils, 52.00" across.
Eagle Metals can slit material dead soft copper, brass, phos bronze, copper-nickel, nickel silver, HPA's, nickel alloys, carbon steel or stainless with zero burr, regularly resulting in measurements less than industry standard. And our super full hard 301 stainless steel always ships with a perfect slit edge...unless it's being skived for a #1 round!
Precision rewinding services are also available to meet your specific requirements for tight tolerance and high-quality winding.
Finishing Options
Our finishing department offers a number of options for your copper-based metal coil and stainless steel strip, including:
- Traverse-Winding onto reels that range from 500 lbs to 2,000 lbs for copper-based connector applications or any long-run or carrier strip jobs where a spool payoff is applicable. We use typical wooden flange spools, as well as plastic branded reels we custom make in-house in our CNC department, which are less prone to warping and more consistent in shape. We can wind strip 0.005" up to 0.040" thick, in widths between 0.20" to 2.00" wide in copper-based and stainless steel alloys.
- If you need sheet material, our Cut-to-Length line offers up small sheets that can be tailored to exacting customer dimensions and packed accordingly. Our sheer can handle thickness from 0.002" to 0.035", and make sheets from 0.50" to 24.00" wide in lengths ranging from 2' to 8' long.
- Eagle Metals copper and stainless metal coil and strip gets slit in-house, resulting in a #3 slit edge. Our culture strives for perfection, and our slit edge burr standard is well beyond the industry guideline of 10%. We've even had customers who run soft brass and copper request more burr in some cases since ours is so minimal!
- Beyond a #3, we also offer customers options for Edge Conditioning. Our skiving lines can produce any desired edge contour by successive removal of strip material along the edges using carbide dies. This results in a smooth, stress-free, "machined edge". This edging process also has a significant positive impact on the resultant strip shape, camber, twist, and coil set.
- We can edge copper-based and stainless steel ranging in thickness from 0.005" to 0.040" thick, in strip widths from 0.375" to 6.00" wide. Certain temper restrictions may apply.
- We offer a #1 round edge and a #5 deburred edge. #1 is a full radius edge that approximates the strip thickness, also known as a safety edge. The #5 removes any remaining slitting burr, also known as a square, chamfered, or beveled edge.
