Products Description

 

An ALFORM 960 Structural Steel Plate is a quenched and tempered steel plate heated and cooled rapidly to produce rock-hard plate surfaces. Possessing minimum yield strength of 960 Mpa, ISO4952 E960 structural steel plates command excellent abrasion-resistant qualities.

info-597-597

Compliant with the European standard EN 10025:6:2004, these adaptable steel plates stand for :

S = Structural Steel
960 = minimum yield strength
Q = quenched and tempered
L = Low notch toughness testing temperature

Application of our S960QL Structural Steel Plates

 

• Aerospace, ship building and automobile industries are primary users of 960 High Strength Low Alloy steel plates, instrumental in constructing light weight, leaner, and efficient, heavy duty customised air and motor components.

 

• We are exporters of E960T High Yield Structural Steel Plates that have primed surfaces that allow free flow of media, fight corrosion and are very precious in combustible workplaces like Oil & Gas, fertilizer, nuclear power plant and chemical industries.

 

• Cranes, high-rise buildings, sports stadiums, railway and metro stations and bridges are built using  965 High Strength fine grain Steel plates, capable of holding together such towering and suspended structures with great poise.
