Hot rolled Carbon steel plates are produced from basic oxygen process steel. The designations applied to this material are based upon the types of mills used to produce the plates and the resulting edge conditions. Sheared plates have been rolled between horizontal rolls, with edges and ends later trimmed by shearing to obtain rectangular shape. In the heavier thicknesses, the trimming is accomplished by flame cutting.

Storage tanks, welded pipe, bridge construction, freight and passenger cars, barges, tankers, machinery construction, mining cars and equipment, bearing plates for buildings, and other structural applications.
Hot rolled carbon plates have a machinability rating of approximately 72%, based on 1212 as 100%, with average surface cutting speed of 120’ per minute.
These plates are easily welded by all the welding processes and the resultant welds and joints are of extremely high quality.
