Awards and recognitions

The company was awarded the Queen's Award for Enterprise (now called the King's Award for Enterprise following the coronation of King Charles III): Innovation, in 2014. [9]

UltraSTEEL® process

Hadley developed the UltraSTEEL dimpling process in 1982 and won the 2006 and 2014 Queen's Award for Enterprise: Innovation. [10] [11]

The process offers an advanced industrial manufacturing technique that transforms plain steel sheets into high-performance, dimpled steel products. [12] [13] This process increases the energy absorption capabilities of the steel, and can further optimise its performance by adjusting the depth of dimpling. The UltraSTEEL process utilizes a pair of rolls with specially shaped teeth that deform the plain sheet from both sides before undergoing traditional cold roll forming. This innovative approach has resulted in the increased use of dimpled steel products in a variety of applications such as wall studs, framing, roofing members, corrugated panels, vineyard posts, and window and door reinforcement.

Stainless steel, also known as inox, corrosion-resistant steel (CRES) and rustless steel, is an alloy of iron that is resistant to rusting and corrosion. It contains at least 10.5% chromium and usually nickel, as well as 0.2 to 2.11% carbon. Stainless steel's resistance to corrosion results from the chromium, which forms a passive film that can protect the material and self-heal in the presence of oxygen.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Rolling (metalworking)</span> Metal forming process

In metalworking, rolling is a metal forming process in which metal stock is passed through one or more pairs of rolls to reduce the thickness, to make the thickness uniform, and/or to impart a desired mechanical property. The concept is similar to the rolling of dough. Rolling is classified according to the temperature of the metal rolled. If the temperature of the metal is above its recrystallization temperature, then the process is known as hot rolling. If the temperature of the metal is below its recrystallization temperature, the process is known as cold rolling. In terms of usage, hot rolling processes more tonnage than any other manufacturing process, and cold rolling processes the most tonnage out of all cold working processes. Roll stands holding pairs of rolls are grouped together into rolling mills that can quickly process metal, typically steel, into products such as structural steel, bar stock, and rails. Most steel mills have rolling mill divisions that convert the semi-finished casting products into finished products.
