McDonald Steel is tooled to roll more than 500 asymmetrical and symmetrical precision engineered hot rolled special steel shapes. Our manufactured steel sections are used in multiple markets for a wide variety of applications.   Hot rolling steel bars has been a proven manufacturing process for more than 100 years. Today, forming hot rolled steel bars into near net shapes remains a cost-effective and production-efficient means of creating economical special steel shapes.  We can help you to design your own near net shape within our tooling and rolling capabilities.  By precisely determining the exact requirements of your application, we can develop a unique roll design that can minimize or eliminate subsequent machining, thereby reducing your manufacturing costs.    Standard square or rectangular steel billets can be hot rolled with your new tooling on our 14” cross country bar mill to produce economical near net sections.  These hot rolled special shapes compete successfully with forgings, castings, extrusions, cold drawings and machined products in both price and precision.
