Explore steel plate types and characteristics with Haihao Group

Not long ago, Haihao Group supplied a batch of ASTM SA537 steel plates to a client in Singapore. As experts in pipeline system products with years of deep-rooted experience, Haihao Group’s solutions have expanded beyond pipeline products, addressing specific customer needs. Through this, Haihao Group has gained extensive knowledge in the field of steel. Let’s delve into the distinctive features of different types of steel plates:

DH36 STEEL PLATE FOR MARINE GRADE

1.Low-Alloy Steel Plate:

Definition: Low-alloy steel refers to steel with an alloy content below 5%.

Classification:

By composition: Low-alloy steel plate, medium-alloy steel plate, high-alloy steel plate.

By processing: Hot-rolled, cold-rolled steel plate.

By thickness: Thin plate (below 3mm), medium-thick plate (4mm-60mm), thick plate (greater than 60mm).

By standards: National standards, American standards, etc.

Features: High strength, improved performance, material efficiency, reduced structural weight.

Applications: Widely used in the manufacturing of bridges, ships, vehicles, boilers, high-pressure vessels, and large steel structures.

2.Galvanized Steel Plate:

Definition: Welded steel plate with a surface layer of hot-dip galvanization or electroplated zinc.

Classification:

By rolling: >3.0mm hot-rolled, <3.0mm cold-rolled.

By thickness: Thin steel plate, medium-thick steel plate, thick steel plate.

By steel type: General commercial quality (CQ), high-strength low-alloy (HSLA), drawing quality (DQ), deep drawing (DDQ), bake-hardening (BH), dual-phase (DP), transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP).

By standards: National standards, American standards, etc.

Features: Corrosion resistance, paintability, formability, spot weldability.

Applications: Widely used in construction, household appliances, transportation, container manufacturing, electromechanical industries, etc.

3.Patterned Steel Plate:

Definition: Steel plate with a surface featuring rhombic or protruding patterns.

Classification:

By material: Stainless steel, dual-phase steel, carbon steel, low-alloy steel, alloy steel, etc.

By pattern shape: Rhombic pattern, lentil pattern, round bean pattern, etc.

Features: Aesthetic appearance, anti-slip function, enhanced performance, high material efficiency.

Applications: Widely used in transportation, construction, decoration, equipment platforms, machinery, ship decks, and various industrial environments.

4.Hot-Rolled Stainless Steel Plate:

Definition: Stainless steel plate produced using the hot-rolling process.

Classification:

By thickness: Thin plate, thick plate.

By microstructure: Austenitic, austenitic-ferritic, ferritic, martensitic, precipitation hardening.

By standards: National standards, American standards, German standards, Japanese standards, Russian standards, etc.

Features: Disrupts casting structure, refines grain structure, eliminates microstructure defects, resulting in denser and improved mechanical properties.

Applications: Mainly used in the production of steel structural components, bridges, ships, architectural structures, various mechanical components, vehicles, etc.

5.Cold-Rolled Stainless Steel Plate:

Definition: Steel plate produced through cold rolling at temperatures below recrystallization.

Classification:

By thickness: Thin plate, thick plate.

By microstructure: Austenitic, austenitic-ferritic, ferritic, martensitic, precipitation hardening.

By standards: National standards, American standards, German standards, Japanese standards, Russian standards, etc.

Features: Corrosion-resistant; however, continuous cold deformation-induced hardening increases strength and hardness at the expense of ductility.

Applications: Used for corrosion-resistant components, petroleum and chemical pipelines, medical devices, ship equipment, etc.
