QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Steel Services Company offers Blanchard Grinding, Edge Grinding, and in-house Stress Relieving services in the Greater Los Angeles area.  We can also help you with Steel Plate Sourcing, Sandblasting, and Painting.

Blanchard Grinding, or Rotary Surface Grinding, is a process used to efficiently remove stock from one side of a piece of raw material, a weldment, a casting, or a machined part. The process delivers precision results and is faster and far more economical than machining or surface grinding.

We can grind a variety of ferrous and non-ferrous materials including steel, aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, castings, granite, ceramics, plastics, G-10, and phenolic.

We have six Blanchard Grinding machines with capacities up to 225" square x 80" in height. Our stress-relieving oven can handle components up to 79" x 135" x 37".   Our four overhead cranes have a maximum lifting capacity of 15 tons.
