Mild Steel Plate
Mild steel plates are flat, rectangular pieces of steel with a moderate carbon content. They are used in various industries for structural, fabrication, and manufacturing purposes due to their strength, versatility, and ease of use.
Specifications:
- Standard Range: Typically ranges from 1.5 mm to 100 mm. Custom thicknesses can be produced based on requirements.
- Width: Common widths are 1 meter, 1.25 meters, and 2 meters. Custom widths can also be ordered.
- Length: Standard lengths usually range from 2 meters to 6 meters, with custom lengths available.
- Common Grades: Includes ASTM A36, ASTM A283, EN 10025 S275, and S355. Each grade offers different mechanical properties and standards suited for various applications.
- Hot-Rolled: Provides a rough surface finish and is commonly used in structural applications.
- Cold-Rolled: Offers a smoother surface finish and tighter dimensional tolerances, suitable for precision applications.
- Galvanized: Coated with zinc to enhance corrosion resistance, suitable for outdoor or corrosive environments.
Applications:
- Construction: Used in structural components such as beams, columns, and supports. Ideal for both residential and commercial building projects.
- Manufacturing: Employed in the production of machinery, equipment, and various fabricated components.
- Automotive: Utilized in the manufacturing of vehicle parts, including chassis components and panels.
- Industrial: Applied in industrial settings for fabrication of tanks, pressure vessels, and structural supports.
- Furniture: Used in the creation of metal furniture, including tables, shelves, and decorative elements.
Advantages:
- Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications due to its adaptability in machining and fabrication.
- Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Provides a good balance of strength and weight, making it efficient for structural and load-bearing applications.
- Cost-Effective: Generally more affordable compared to high-strength steels or specialty alloys, offering good performance at a reasonable cost.
- Customizability: Available in various thicknesses, dimensions, and finishes to meet specific design and performance needs.
