I've been asked to build a ramp/chute so that 11kg x 40cm dia beer kegs can
be slid down into a cellar.

No problem to build out of 18mm ply & timber, but it needs some flatish D
section steel strips to allow the kegs to slide down smoothly and also to
prevent excessive wear.

Tried google, but I'm not getting much. Does this stuff have a specific
name? I need about 8 metres of it.

Sounds like keel band, although that's generally brass.

Intended for fencing, but may do the job you want:
