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 close spacing, mainly to meet the needs of different customers. It can be used as a substitute for medium plates, allowing direct welding without cutting. Secondly, the surface of flat steel is very smooth, as a high-pressure water descaling step is applied twice during its production process. This smooth surface makes it highly popular.
In addition, flat steel has vertical edges and clear corners. The two vertical rolling passes during the finishing stage ensure good verticality on both sides and high surface quality along the edges, complementing its smooth surface and giving it a visual advantage over traditional steel plates. A notable advantage of flat steel is its dimensional accuracy—its three-point difference and same-grade difference are better than the standards for steel plates. The product is straight and has good flatness. The continuous rolling process, combined with automatic loop control, ensures no stacking or pulling of steel, thereby guaranteeing dimensional precision. Parameters such as tolerance range, three-point difference, same-bar difference, and camber are all superior to those of medium plates, and the straightness of the product is good. With cold shear cutting, the length cutting accuracy is high.http://www.hnftsteels.com
