High-Strength Steel for Structural and Industrial Use
Hot rolled steel plate are produced through the hot rolling process, where steel slabs are heated above their recrystallization temperature and rolled into flat plates. This method results in plates with excellent mechanical properties, dimensional flexibility, and surface characteristics suitable for a wide range of industrial and structural applications.
Key Characteristics of Hot Rolled Steel Sheets
Wide Range of Thicknesses
Available in various thicknesses, typically from 1.5 mm to 100 mm or more, depending on application needs.
Cost-Effective Production
Hot rolling is more economical than cold rolling and suitable for applications where surface finish and tight tolerances are less critical.
Good Weldability and Formability
Hot rolled sheets have good ductility and are easy to cut, weld, and form into different shapes, making them ideal for structural and fabrication work.
High Strength and Durability
These sheets exhibit high tensile strength and are capable of withstanding heavy loads and harsh environmental conditions.
Available in Multiple Steel Grades
Common grades include:
- S235JR – General-purpose structural steel
- S275JR – Medium-strength steel for construction
- S355JR – High-strength structural steel
- A36 – Standard ASTM steel for structural and mechanical uses
Standard Dimensions
Hot rolled sheets are commonly available in widths from 1000 mm to 2000 mm and lengths from 2000 mm to 12000 mm. Custom sizes are also available upon request.
Common Applications of Hot Rolled Steel Sheets
Construction and Infrastructure
Used in frames, baseplates, columns, and other structural components of buildings and bridges.
Shipbuilding and Heavy Machinery
Essential for building ship hulls, cranes, trailers, and industrial equipment due to strength and durability.
Automotive and Transport
Applied in chassis, body structures, and commercial vehicle frames.
Tanks, Pipelines, and Pressure Vessels
Suitable for manufacturing containers, pipelines, and industrial tanks.
General Fabrication
Ideal for cutting, bending, and forming into custom components for various projects.
