What is steel plate?Its Advantages, Classification, and Application fields.

What Is Steel Plate

Steel plate is a common metal material, is poured with molten steel, after cooling pressed into flat steel, with excellent strength and durability. Steel plates can be divided according to thickness:

Sheet: Thickness≤4mm

Medium thick steel plate: Thickness between 4-60mm

Extra thick steel plate: Thickness between 60-115mm

The Advantages Of Steel Plates

Steel plate is made of metal material of a certain thickness, which has high strength, high durability, and excellent mechanical properties, such as tensile resistance, compression resistance, bending resistance, fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance, etc.

High-precision Manufacturing

The machining accuracy can reach 0.01mm, which can greatly improve the accuracy of machining, welding and assembly.

Easy To Process

The steel plate is characterized by high plasticity. It can be processed by cutting, drilling, splicing, welding and other methods, and can adapt to the processing needs of different shapes and sizes.

Fire Retardant

The steel plate will not burn and will not produce toxic smoke, which enhances the fire performance of the building and can make a significant contribution to human life and property.

Main classification of steel plates in steel structure

High strength steel plate

High strength steel plate, also called high strength plate, usually refers to Q460 steel and above steel plate, its high strength, especially in the normalizing or normalizing and tempering state has high comprehensive mechanical properties.

Features:

High strength

Excellent toughness

High wear resistance

Good weldability and formability

Steel structure steel plate

In the steel structure, the commonly used steel plate Q235B, Q355B and above steel. Among them, thin steel plates are mainly used to manufacture various types of steel, while thick steel plates are mainly used to manufacture large beams, columns, frames and other load-bearing structures.

Features:

Light weight and high strength

Easy processing

Good seismic performance

Wide application

Abrasion resistant steel plate

Wear-resistant steel plate refers to the plate specially used for large area wear working conditions. Common wear-resistant steel Hardox 450 steel, Hardox 500 steel, AR 450 steel, AR 500 steel, NM 450 steel, NM 550 steel, etc. Among them, Hardox steel plate is the world's advanced wear-resistant steel plate.

Features:

Excellent wear resistance

Good impact resistance

Excellent mechanical properties

Widely used in mining, metallurgy industry

Weathering steel plate

Weather-resistant steel plate refers to the steel plate resistant to atmospheric corrosion, usually adding a small amount of copper, phosphorus, chromium, nickel and other elements in the steel plate to form a protective layer to improve the performance of atmospheric corrosion resistance.

Features:

The weather resistance of the steel plate is 2-8 times that of the ordinary carbon steel plate.

Excellent resistance to rust and corrosion.

It is easy to shape and can be processed into various shapes.

The Application Field Of Steel Plate

1.Construction field

Steel plate is widely used in steel structure, building panel, partition panel, roof panel, strip pipe, steel and wood structure, sandwich panel, composite panel and other products in the construction field.

2.Manufacturing

Many machinery manufacturing industries use steel plates to make machine parts with high strength and good stability.

3.Shipbuilding industry

Due to the good stability, high strength and strong corrosion resistance of steel plate structure, it is widely used in the shipbuilding industry.
