What should I keep in mind when buying steel plates? Where can I buy quality, cheap steel plates in Hanoi? Find the answer with Bao Tin Steel in the article below.
Introduction to steel plates
What is a steel plate?
Steel plates are flat, flat steel plates shaped into rectangles or rolls. This material is used in shipbuilding, factory structures, construction industries, etc. It has good bearing properties, is easy to process, and can be painted and galvanized to increase sustainability and prevent oxidation.
Advantages of steel plates
Steel plates are an indispensable part of the construction and industrial industries. With the special properties and benefits it brings, it proves its importance.The content below will help you better understand the advantages of steel plates.
- Durability and safety. Steel plates provide hardness, durability, and good bearing capacity, ensuring safety for construction projects. Because of this advantage, steel plates can limit warping during moving and processing.
- Steel plates come in a variety of sizes and thicknesses to best serve customer requirements.
- Cold-rolled and hot-rolled steel sheet have their advantages. Specifically, cold-rolled steel sheets have good aesthetics, and details are produced with high precision. And hot-rolled steel plate is suitable for many different environments, and it has good impact resistance.
Application of steel plates
Steel plates have many applications in different fields because they have the outstanding advantages mentioned above. Below are some common applications of steel plates that you should know about:
- Build. Steel plates are widely used in the construction field. For example: making structural frames; and making frames for buildings, bridges, roads, factories, and other industrial projects.
- Mechanical. Steel plates are used to produce machinery and equipment parts in the mechanical industry.
- Shipbuilding. This material is also used to build ship hulls and many other types of structures in shipbuilding. Steel plates provide the strength needed to withstand the pressure and harsh conditions at sea.
- Production and manufacturing industries. Steel plates are used in production lines, industrial workshops, etc.
What is the process for producing steel plates?
The process of producing steel plates requires high technology and strict technical requirements. After being refined, steel will be cast into billets, and billets are usually slab billets. The billets are then taken to factories and rolled into steel plates.
- Steel plates that undergo hot rolling are called hot-rolled steel plates.
- Steel plates that undergo cold rolling are called cold-rolled steel plates.
Types of steel plates currently on the market
Through the above production process, steel plates are divided into many types to meet the needs of customers. However, below are the types of steel plates commonly used today:
- Galvanized steel sheet
- Hot rolled steel plate
- Cold rolled steel plate
- Anti-slip steel plate
- Carbon steel plate
- General structural steel plates
- Wear-resistant steel plates,…
To better understand the popular types of steel plates on the market today, please see the details in the article “What are the types and standards of steel plates?”
Distinguish between hot rolled steel plates and cold rolled steel plates
After the casting process into billets, the billets will be brought to factories and use two technologies: hot rolling and cold rolling to form different types of steel plates. So how to distinguish between hot-rolled steel plates and cold-rolled steel plates?
Hot rolled steel plate
A hot-rolled steel plate is a steel plate that has gone through a high-temperature rolling process. The usual temperature for rolling is above 1000 degrees Celsius and forming is the final product. The billets used to form hot-rolled steel plates are also the types used to create U, I, V, and H-shaped steel.
-> This type of steel is often used in the car, truck, and roofing industries.
Cold rolled steel plate
Cold-rolled steel plate is steel plate rolled at a low temperature, approximately at room temperature. Therefore, the advantage of cold-rolled steel plates is high durability and good bearing capacity. At the same time, cold-rolled steel is also more aesthetically pleasing and less susceptible to cracking or warping.
The production process of cold-rolled steel sheets does not change the physical structure of the steel but only deforms it. During the production of cold-rolled steel sheets, cooling solutions must be used to help maintain the temperature during the rolling process of raw materials.
-> This type of steel often has more common applications than hot-rolled steel plates. Because cold-rolled steel sheets have better quality, they can be rolled into ultra-thin finished products to suit different uses and projects.
Note: When buying steel plates
To choose good-quality steel plates, you need to note:
Calculate the quantity and cost.
This is something you need to pay attention to to avoid wasting money or having money go up unexpectedly. You need to calculate in advance the amount of steel in general and steel plates in particular that you need to use (enough—how short?).
The next step is to survey product prices on the current market to calculate the amount most accurately.
Market price survey
Currently, on the market, there are many units selling steel plates in Hanoi. You need to survey the prices of steel plates from many different units before making a decision. This will help you avoid being “mistaken.” However, you should not have the mindset of “being cheap” and forget the quality of steel.
Equipped with the knowledge to distinguish between real and fake goods
- Real steel plates usually have a characteristic dark blue color and glossy surface.
- On the contrary, fake steel plates will often break easily, be brittle, and have uneven quality. If you touch it, it will feel rough—rough and dark green.
To be more certain, you should ask the supplier to see the product standard certificate. Manufacturers always take their products for testing at testing centers.
Choose a brand
The development of the construction industry has led to the development of the construction materials industry. The proof is that we see there are many construction steel brands on the market today. This unintentionally makes it difficult to choose a brand to buy when you have no experience in choosing steel in general or steel plates in particular.
Besides famous domestic steel plate brands such as Hoa Phat, steel plates are also imported from abroad (China, Korea, Japan, etc.). However, the price of foreign steel is often higher than that of internal steel. Because foreign steel often has additional costs of import tax, etc.
Where to sell cheap, reputable, genuine steel plates in Hanoi
This is a question that many people wonder about. Because the current construction steel market has many fluctuations, Fake and counterfeit goods are increasingly encroaching on the market. Therefore, many customers feel confused and do not know where to buy quality and genuine steel sheets in Hanoi and other types of steel sheets.
