Steel Plates

Description

Steel plates are flat, rectangular pieces of steel with a uniform thickness throughout. They are a versatile material used in a wide range of applications due to their strength, durability, and fabrication ease.

Standards and Grades:

• ASTM A36 – Structural Steel Plate
• ASTM A570 – Hot-Rolled Carbon Steel Sheet and Strip
• API 2X – Specification for Steel Plates for Pressure Vessels

Mild steel plates are a fundamental building block for countless construction and fabrication projects. Composed of low-carbon steel, they offer an ideal balance of:

• Strength and Durability: Capable of withstanding significant loads and physical demands.
• Workability: Easily welded, machined, and shaped to meet diverse design requirements.
• Affordability: Cost-effective compared to high-alloy steel options.

Applications:

• Construction: Used in structural beams, columns, plates for bridges, buildings, and other structures.
• Fabrication: Employed in machinery bases, tanks, pressure vessels, and various industrial equipment.
• Machine Shops: Serve as raw material for brackets, guards, and custom metal components.
• Shipbuilding: Essential for building hulls, decks, and other structural elements of ships and barges.

Size and Thickness:

Mild steel plates come in various thicknesses and dimensions. Specific size availability depends on the supplier’s inventory. Here’s a general range:

• Thickness: Ranges from a few millimeters (e.g., 3mm) to several centimeters (e.g., 200mm) or even thicker depending on the supplier.
• Width: Typically ranges from 1 meter to several meters (e.g., 6 meters).
• Length: Can vary depending on the supplier, but common lengths include single random lengths or specific cut-to-length options.
