Steel products and related activities

Products and Applications with an ever wider range of applications, STEEL is constantly present in our daily lives, making houses, work places, cities and large infrastructures more modern, functional and safe.

Hot and cold rolled sheet, coated pipes, wire rod, reinforcing bars, plates, welded pipes for oil line pipes and gas line pipes, beams, bars: these are some of the basic products for the current stage of development of civilisation. The design of structures and innovative objects, created on the basis of the functions they need to carry out, is expressed best through the use of steel. Steel is constantly undergoing improvement, making it one of the leading players in industrial development. It also has the prerogative of being fully recyclable, which makes it an extremely contemporary material, in line with modern environmental requirements.

The products of the Riva Group, a group that is active in the sector of carbon steels and non stainless alloy steels, are divided into two large metallurgical families: flat rolled products and long rolled products. Each family comprises a huge range of products to meet the most diverse requirements of clients and consumers.

Flat Rolled Products
These include hot rolled products, hot rolled coils, cold rolled sheets, electrogalvanised rolled sheets, hot-dipped galvanised sheets, pre-painted sheets (coated coils) and electrolytic tin plate, round welded pipes, profile tubes specially shaped (hollow sections). Hot rolled coils, cold rolled sheets and hot-galvanised sheets concern a large part of industrial transformation sectors (building, domestic appliances, cars, pipes, etc.), which could not have reached the current level of development without the characteristics of the new steel alloys.
Tin plate containers (cans) protect and preserve better and for longer a huge number of products, mainly in the food industry. Hot rolled plates constitute the base material for the building of ships, off-shore platforms, boiler-making and industrial plants of primary importance.
The plates are also intended for the production of the pipes for gas pipelines, which now have an irreplaceable function in the distribution of energy at national and international level.

Long Rolled Products
These include wire rod, reinforcing bar, rolled bars, beams, electro-welded meshes and cold ribbed reinforcing bar in coils. Large communication infrastructures (road and railway bridges) and the construction reclamation of deteriorated historical buildings are possible only due to the use of steel in the structural parts (beams, electro-welded meshes, reinforcing bars).

The components of industrial machinery (for example, transmission shafts), often complex and articulated, are obtained, moreover, through the forging of steel bars. With wire rod, the mechanical industry creates thousands of irreplaceable components in our daily lives (screws, nails, bolts).
