This category consists of Flat Steel Products.
Distinctions:
Steel Plates: Steel that has been cut into individual, separate sheets or plates.
HRC (Hot-Rolled Coil): Steel that has been hot-rolled and wound into a coil.
HRC can be uncoiled and cut into sheets to produce hot-rolled steel plates.
Characteristics
Steel Plates
– Flat, sheet-like form.
– Supplied in standard dimensions or cut to specific requirements.
– Available in various thicknesses.
– Can be used directly or processed further.
HRC
– Large, coiled form.
– Surface typically appears black or blue-black.
– Usually supplied based on coil weight.
– Can be slit, cut into sheets, cold-rolled, or processed further.
Technical Specifications
