| Product Name | Thick Steel Plates for Heavy Construction | Heavy-duty structural steel plates designed for large-scale civil and industrial construction projects |
| Material Grade | ASTM A36 / A572 Gr.50 / S355J2 / Q345B / SS400 | International equivalent grades: EN 10025 S355J2, JIS G3101 SS400, GB/T 1591 Q345B |
| Standard Compliance | ASTM A6, EN 10025, JIS G3101, GB/T 1591 | Manufactured and tested in accordance with internationally recognized structural steel standards |
| Chemical Composition (C) | ≤ 0.26% | Low carbon content ensures good weldability and toughness for heavy structural applications |
| Chemical Composition (Mn) | 0.80% – 1.60% | Manganese enhances strength and hardenability; adjusted per grade requirements |
| Chemical Composition (P / S) | P ≤ 0.035%, S ≤ 0.035% | Controlled phosphorus and sulfur levels to minimize brittleness and improve impact resistance |
| Chemical Composition (Si) | 0.15% – 0.50% | Silicon acts as a deoxidizer and contributes to strength improvement |
| Tensile Strength | 400 – 630 MPa | Per ASTM A572 Gr.50: min. 450 MPa; per EN 10025 S355J2: 470–630 MPa |
| Yield Strength | ≥ 250 – 355 MPa | A36: min. 250 MPa; S355J2 / Q345B: min. 355 MPa (thickness-dependent) |
| Elongation | ≥ 20% – 23% | Minimum elongation in 200 mm gauge length; ensures ductility under heavy load conditions |
| Thickness Range | 20 mm – 200 mm | Heavy plate category; standard thicknesses available from 20 mm up to 200 mm per order |
| Width × Length | 1500 – 4200 mm × 3000 – 18000 mm | Custom cutting available; standard mill plates supplied in fixed or cut-to-length dimensions |
| Surface Finish | Hot Rolled (HR), Shot Blasted Sa2.5, Primer Coated | Mill scale surface standard; shot blasting and primer coating available upon request |
| Application | Bridges, High-rise Buildings, Heavy Machinery Bases, Offshore Platforms, Dam Structures | Suitable for load-bearing structural components in heavy civil, marine, and industrial construction |
| Certification | Mill Test Certificate (EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2), CE Marking, BV / DNV / ABS / Lloyd's | Third-party inspection and classification society certification available upon request |
| Packaging | Bare / Bundled with Steel Strips, Wooden Dunnage, Waterproof Paper Wrapping | Packed per export standard; suitable for container, flat-rack, or bulk vessel shipment |
| MOQ | 5 Metric Tons per Grade/Thickness | Mixed thickness orders accepted; full container load (FCL) preferred for export orders |
Our first order of 40 metric tons of ASTM A572 Gr.50 at 20 mm thickness arrived with EN 10204 3.1 certificates rather than the 3.2 third-party verified certs we had specified for a client audit requirement. This caused a brief hold on our fabrication schedule. However, when we contacted the team, the corrected 3.2 documentation was sourced and submitted within two business days, and the client audit proceeded without issue. The plates themselves were dimensionally accurate and mechanically sound. Communication improved noticeably after the issue was raised. We have since placed a follow-up order with the correct cert level pre-confirmed in writing.
