ភាសាខ្មែរWhat is thin sheet steel? Is it the same as plate steel?
Is it thin sheet steel? This is a question for many people. For those working in the construction, engineering,… industry, this is still a big question mark. To help you get the most complete and accurate answer, Bao Tin Steel would like to send you the following article.
What is thin sheet steel? How is it made?
Thin sheet steel is a flat, flat steel plate, produced with a thickness of usually less than 5 mm. This thin sheet steel is cut from cold-rolled steel coils. At the same time, it retains the original properties of cold-rolled steel, such as good elasticity, good resistance to force, and high durability…
Thin sheet steel is also known as thin steel plate or steel sheet. Thin steel is made from strong metal. It has outstanding advantages in terms of durability, hardness, and load-bearing capacity. Therefore, applications using this type of steel often have a fairly long life.
Structure of thin sheet steel :
| Loại thép | C | Mn | P | S |
| SPCE | Max 0,08 | Max 0,04 | Max 0,030 | Max 0,030 |
| SPCD | Max 0,10 | Max 0,45 | Max 0,035 | Max 0,035 |
| SPCC | Max 0,12 | Max 0,50 | Max 0,040 | Max 0,045 |
SPCE/SPCD/SPCC is a cold-rolled steel sheet line produced according to Japanese standard JIS G3141.
Because the steel sheet is extremely thin, its production cost is also cheaper than that of conventional steel sheets. We can save 10–15% of input metal costs.
Is thin sheet steel a steel plate?
Based on the above concept, we can consider thin steel as a type of steel plate. However, it can still be distinguished as a separate type based on its characteristics. For easier understanding, let’s take a look at Bao Tin Steel’s comparison of steel plate and thin steel plate below:
Similarities
- They are both flat sheets.
- They are produced by hot rolling or cold rolling of steel billets.
- Sheet and plate steel also have similar hardness, strength, and load-bearing capacity. Therefore, they are easy to process, cut, and bend into applications.
Difference
| Characteristic | Thin steel (thin steel plate, steel sheet) | Steel plate |
| Thickness | Under 5mm, commonly from 0.5mm to 3mm | From 3mm to 200mm or higher |
| Nature | Easier to bend, plate, cut, punch | Better load-bearing capacity, less prone to warping and distortion |
| Application | Suitable for structures requiring flexibility and ease of shaping | Suitable for structures that bear heavy loads and require high durability. |
| Standard | Can comply with separate standards (TCVN 11229-1:2015, JIS G3131, ASTM A1008) | Usually follow common standards for steel plates (TCVN 6522:2008, JIS G3101, ASTM A36,…) |
| Application | Car body, electronic equipment housing, household appliances, pipes | Steel beams, steel columns, floors, hills, machinery |
From the above comparisons, we can see that determining whether thin steel is plate steel or not depends on many factors. These include thickness, standards, applications, etc. Although the technical specifications are somewhat similar, it cannot be confirmed that thin steel is also plate steel. Your job is to identify what specifications and standards you need for steel to make a reasonable choice.
