Non-Ferrous Metals Plates
How they are made
Slabs are hot-rolled on a reversing plate mill (or a Steckel/hot-strip mill for thinner plate), then heat treated (annealed, normalised, or quenched and tempered, depending on material), descaled and pickled or shot-blasted. Plates are cut to size by plasma, oxy-fuel, waterjet or shearing.
Plates: how they are made, sized and tested
How it's madeSlabs are hot-rolled on a reversing plate mill (or a Steckel/hot-strip mill for thinner plate), then heat treated (annealed, normalised, or quenched and tempered, depending on material), descaled and pickled or shot-blasted. Plates are cut to size by plasma, oxy-fuel, waterjet or shearing.
- Size range
- Thickness about 3 – 150 mm (and heavier on request), widths 1,000 – 3,000 mm, lengths 2,000 – 12,000 mm; cut-to-size and profile-cut parts
- Finish
- No.1 (hot-rolled, annealed and pickled) for stainless; shot-blasted, mill scale or primed for carbon steel
- Ends
- Mill edge, sheared, plasma or waterjet cut, profile cut to drawing
Testing & documents
- Chemical analysis and tensile tests (per plate or heat)
- Impact tests for low-temperature and pressure-vessel plates
- Ultrasonic testing (e.g. ASTM A435 / A578) when specified
- IGC, HIC and simulated PWHT tests as required
- Flatness and dimensional inspection
- EN 10204 3.1 certificate; 3.2 with third-party inspection
Marking and packing
Marking: Specification, grade, heat and plate number, thickness and manufacturer, by stencil, low-stress stamp or label.
Packing: Stacked on wooden pallets or skids with separators, and edge-protected, with stainless plates interleaved to avoid contamination.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between plate and sheet?
Thickness. Sheet is generally below about 5–6 mm and supplied cold-rolled with a finer finish. Plate is thicker and usually hot-rolled.
Can you cut plates to size?
Yes. Plates can be supplied in full mill sizes or cut to size and profile to your drawing.
Which materials are plates available in?
Stainless Steel, Nickel Alloys, Carbon Steel, Alloy Steel, Abrasion-Resistant & Wear Plates, Non-Ferrous Metals: 81 grades in total, from stock or mill-sourced.
What sizes of plates do you supply?
Thickness about 3 – 150 mm (and heavier on request), widths 1,000 – 3,000 mm, lengths 2,000 – 12,000 mm; cut-to-size and profile-cut parts.
How are plates tested?
Chemical analysis and tensile tests (per plate or heat); Impact tests for low-temperature and pressure-vessel plates; Ultrasonic testing (e.g. ASTM A435 / A578) when specified.
