Steel Sheets & Coils

Hot-Rolled Steel Sheets and Coils

Nippon Steel Corporation manufactures various hot-rolled steel

sheets and coils in accordance with Japanese Industrial Stan-
dards (JIS), the standards of our countries and Nippon Steel’s
own standards. These products are produced on some of the
world’s most advanced mills, with the production techniques em-
ployed having been developed by Nippon Steel during the com-
pany’s many years of experience in sheet and coil production.
Nippon Steel’s hot-rolled steel sheets and coils are used for a
wide variety of applications, ranging from automobiles and electri-
cal appliances to construction materials, containers and steel pipes.
In support of its sheet and coil products, Nippon Steel also
offers a comprehensive range of technical services. For more in-
formation, contact Nippon Steel.
