Carbon Steel Sheets
Sheets are thin flat products, typically from about 0.3 mm to 6 mm thick, usually cold-rolled for tight thickness tolerance and a smooth finish. They're used for fabrication, cladding, panels, enclosures, kitchens, appliances and process equipment.

Carbon Steel sheets by grade
| Grade | Specification | Key characteristic | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| IS 2062 E250 Sheets | IS 2062 | Minimum yield 250 MPa | Buildings, sheds and industrial structures |
| A36 Sheets | ASTM A36 | Minimum yield 250 MPa (36 ksi) | Buildings and industrial structures |
How carbon steel sheets are made, sized and tested
How it's madeHot-rolled coil is cold-rolled to final thickness, then annealed and pickled (2B/2D) or bright annealed (BA), temper-passed, and polished or textured as needed. Coils are then levelled and cut into sheets.

Frequently asked questions
What is 2B finish?
A cold-rolled, annealed and pickled finish with a light skin-pass. It's smooth, moderately reflective and the most common stainless sheet finish.
What is the difference between No.4 and HL finish?
Both are brushed finishes. No.4 has short, uniform grain lines; HL (hairline) has long, continuous lines for a more decorative look.
Which carbon steel grades are available as sheets?
IS 2062 E250, A36.
Which specifications cover carbon steel sheets?
IS 2062, ASTM A36, depending on grade.
