Hot Rolled Steel Plate Options at Tell Steel
We distribute a full range of hot rolled carbon steel plate, from low-carbon steel plates to specialty alloy steel plates. Whatever your application requires, Tell Steel can supply the hot rolled carbon steel products for your job.Mild Steel Plates
Our selection of structural steel plates are used in construction and infrastructural applications, including bridges, commercial buildings, and other outdoor structures.- A-36 Mild Steel: A-36 Mild Steel is a low-carbon steel that features good ductility, strength, and low cost.
- A-572-GR 50: A-572-GR 50 is a high-strength, low-alloy steel best used for applications that need high strength-to-weight ratios.
- Cor-ten B (A-588): Cor-ten B A-588 Weathering Steel has excellent corrosion resistance and features a patina, a protective rust layer that forms when exposed to the weather.
Pressure Vessel Quality (PVQ) Plates
We distribute Pressure Vessel Quality (PVQ) carbon steel plates that are produced to contain liquids and gases at high pressures. They are made for boilers, heat exchangers, storage tanks, and other applications with very high internal pressure.- A-516-GR 70: A-516-GR 70 PVQ features excellent strength, weldability, and notch toughness.
- A-387-GR 11 Half Chrome: A-387-GR 11 Half Chrome contains chromium for enhanced resistance to elevated temperatures.
Alloy Steel Plates
We offer a range of alloy steel plates with unique compositions. These alloy plates provide enhanced characteristics for specific applications, including higher yield strength, fatigue resistance, ductility, and more.- A-514 T-1: A-514 T-1 Constructional Alloy is a heat-treated alloy with high yield strength.
- 4140 Alloy: 4140 Alloy contains chromium and molybdenum and features high toughness and good weldability.
- 4130 Alloy: 4130 Alloy is similar to 4140 with a slightly different composition, offering good strength and ductility.
- 4340 Alloy: 4340 Alloy includes nickel, chromium, and molybdenum for high strength and fatigue resistance.
Other Carbon Steel Plates
- C-1045: C-1045 is a medium carbon steel plate that provides higher strength and hardness compared to low carbon steels. Often used in machinery parts.
- A-786 Floor/Checkered: A-786 Floor/Checkered features a raised pattern for slip resistance.
- ABS Ship/Vessel Repair: ABS Ship/Vessel Repair certified plate for shipbuilding applications.
- AH/DH-36 Ship Repair: AH/DH-36 Ship Repair is a high-strength steel used in ship construction and repair.
- Abrasive Resistant (AR) Plate: Abrasive Resistance (AR) plate is specially designed for high-wear applications.
What are the Advantages of Hot Rolled Steel Plate?
The hot rolling process involves heating steel above its recrystallization temperature and then passing it through rollers to achieve the desired thickness and shape. This high-temperature process makes the steel more malleable, reducing the risk of cracks and allowing for the production of larger and thicker plates. It's a cost-effective method that enhances the material's strength and workability, making it ideal for heavy-duty and structural applications. Key benefits of hot rolled steel plate include:- Greater malleability
- High versatility for various applications
- Cost-effective, lower overall cost compared to cold rolling
- High production output
Considerations for Hot Rolled Carbon Steel Plate
Hot rolled steel plate undergoes less processing compared to cold rolled steel, making it a more cost-effective option. As the material cools naturally at room temperature, it is free from the internal stresses often introduced by quenching or work-hardening techniques. However, hot rolled steel plate is less refined than cold rolled products. Key characteristics of hot rolled steel sheet and plate include:- A scaled surface resulting from the cooling process at high temperatures
- Slightly rounded edges and corners on bar and plate products, caused by shrinkage and less precise finishing
- Minor distortions, where natural cooling may lead to forms that are slightly imperfect
