Advantages of flat steel over traditional steel plates
Flat steel is a product with relatively special specifications. Its thickness ranges from 8 to 50 mm, width=100% from 15 to 625 mm, and length from about 5 to 15 m. The product specifications have relatively dense intervals, primarily to meet the needs of different customers. When used as a substitute for medium plate, it can be directly welded without the need for cutting.
Secondly, the surface of flat steel is very smooth. This is because the production process includes a high-pressure water descaling step applied twice. The smooth surface makes it highly popular.
In addition, flat steel has vertical edges and clear, well-defined corners. The two passes of vertical rolling in the finishing stage ensure good verticality of both sides and excellent edge surface quality, complementing its smooth surface and giving it an aesthetic advantage over traditional steel plates.
A notable advantage of flat steel is its dimensional accuracy. Its parameters for three-point difference and same-grade difference are better than steel plate standards. The product is straight and has good flatness. The continuous rolling process is used during manufacturing, with automatic loop control to ensure no stacking or pulling of steel and to maintain dimensional precision. Parameters such as tolerance range, three-point difference, same-bar difference, and camber are all better than those of medium plate, and the straightness of the profile is good. With cold shear cutting, the length cutting accuracy is high.http://www.hnftsteels.com
