MARKET FORMS OF STEEL - PLATES
PREETHI.D
Steel PlateS  Steel plates are flat sheets of steel that are used in an extensive variety of applications across industry and in consumer products contexts. Steel plates vary in terms of their widths, thicknesses, chemical compositions and in other ways, but they are consistently valued for their strength and durability.  Steel plates are very commonly used in construction and engineering in the construction of buildings, heavy equipment, municipal utilities and other structures that must be built with very strong materials.
HOt ROllING Steel plates can be formed in a few ways. Hot rolling is among the most common steel plate shaping methods. when enough heat is applied to steel, it can overcome its hardness and can be shaped easily. The steel, once it reaches this temperature, is passed through a series of rollers, which squeeze the steel into a flat shape. This process gives the steel its shape, and it also determines, to a significant extent, the steel plate’s qualities of strength and durability.

 As steel is the major cost component it is important to think of the available raw material sizes when designing a bridge fabricated from plate steel.  Reducing dimensions may save weight but this could increase the scrap produced during production so may not realise the cost savings expected.

 USeS  Steel plates can be used in the construction of ship, truck beds, bridges,, workbenches and many other kinds of buildings, vehicles and equipment.  qualities of strength, durability and impact resistance, steel plates are used widely by defense contractors, law enforcement bodies and militaries for the protection of vehicles and buildings against explosions and ballistics. Steel plate armor remains and indispensable tool for protecting people from harm in many contexts
 Steel plates can be manufactured by large steel factories or smaller, more specialized plants.. Steel plates are often used for structural and construction applications, pressure vessels, marine and offshore equipment, and military applications. The grade, elements and parameters of a steel plate are also important in how it is used.  The construction industry requires many types of steel in all sizes. Steel plates can be found in buildings, bridges and on construction vehicles. The company, Trading, makes structural steel plates for use in sports stadiums, airports, prefabricated buildings, warehouses, railway stations and vehicles.
PReSSURe veSSel Plate Pressure vessel plate is a type of steel plate used for storage containers. These storage containers can be boilers, gas tanks, or any unit that stores compressed gas or fluid. They can be manufactured to hold contents at outdoor temperatures. MaRINe Steel plates are also used extensively in the shipbuilding industry. The plates are used for ships and or oil rigs and other offshore equipment. They may be manufactured structural parts or they may be implemented as repair pieces. MIlItaRy The Department of Defense often requires highergrade steel plates for use in military vehicles and buildings. Steel industries with military contracts manufacture steel according to the purposes and standards set by the Department of Defense and its other departments such as the Army, Air Force and Navy. Military steel plates are used in tanks, jeeps, trucks and ground vehicles, as well as helicopters, jets and other aircraft.
