Alliance Steel has an extensive inventory of flat-rolled sheet and coil products, ensuring prompt responsiveness to customer demands.
We maintain a selection of hot-rolled steel , hot-rolled pickled and oiled , hot-rolled pickled dry , cold-rolled steel , and coated steel products.
Datacenters and AI
The efficiency and performance of AI systems are significantly enhanced by and dependent on the infrastructure of data centers, which rely on high-quality steel, tubular products, and precise fabrication.
These materials provide the structural integrity and durability needed to support heavy equipment and ensure longevity, while also facilitating efficient thermal management through advanced cooling systems.
The flexibility offered by versatile steel and tubular products allows for easy upgrades and scaling, accommodating the evolving demands of AI applications.
Additionally, precision fabrication ensures optimal space utilization and efficient airflow, contributing to energy efficiency and reduced operational costs. Overall, these factors lead to increased reliability and reduced maintenance, which are crucial for the consistent uptime and performance required by AI workloads.
At Alliance, we can facilitate all of your data center needs. As a comprehensive steel provider, we can process high quality steel provided by Alliance Steel, create tubular products by Alliance Tubular, and fabricate the final product with expert precision by Alliance Fabrication.
Features and Benefits of Cold Rolled Steel and HRPO for Server Racks & Enclosures
Hot Rolled Pickled and Oiled (HRPO) Benefits and Features
Clean Surface for Finishing
- The pickling process removes mill scale, leaving a clean, smooth surface that’s ideal for powder coating or painting.
Improved Workability
- HRPO steel offers better formability and weldability than standard hot rolled steel. That means cleaner bends, stronger welds, and fewer issues during laser cutting or punching.
Reliable Strength
- HRPO retains the structural integrity of hot rolled steel but with greater consistency. It’s strong enough to support heavy servers and components.
Cold Rolled Steel Benefits and Features
Tight Tolerances
- Cold rolled steel offers excellent dimensional accuracy—ideal for server racks that require exact fits for rails, shelves, and mounting hardware
Surface Finish
- a smooth, clean surface, great for paint and powder coating
Consistent Quality for Scalable Production
- Cold rolled steel’s uniform thickness and smooth edges lead to repeatable results in laser cutting, punching, and bending.
