Weathering steel suppliers

Weathering steel products that are weather resistant, this hot-rolled plate product boasts an improved corrosion performance that may result in cost advantages and an improved service life.

To learn more, visit our REDCOR® steel page. 

Quenched & tempered plate suppliers

Used in high-impact applications, quenched & tempered plate is produced by intense heating of the plate, and then cooling processes, which produce a product to a specific degree of hardness. Quenched & tempered steel plate is typically used in defence, transport, mining and structural applications. It is ideal in applications where the steel will be subjected to high-impact situations, that require a degree of strength to ensure the product lasts.

Analysis and counterweight steel suppliers

Analysis and counterweight products that are manufactured to either meet specific chemical compositions for the analysis grades or a broad chemical analysis range for the counterweight grade.

Processing

Plasma cutting services

  • With our plasma cutting services, we can work to fulfil your steel plate processing requirements, including cutting, drilling, and bevelling choices, allowing items to be finished in one setup.
  • Our plasma cutting services offer efficient cutting, minimisation of waste material through nesting, shape generation using CAD/CAM, and  accurately measured cutting with long steel shapes and automated multi axis bevel.
  • Our plasma processes transform large steel plates into smaller components of specified shape and size. These components are semi-finished and fit for easy fabrication by our customers. This ensures we save our customers time and labour in their fabrication. Where required, we will supply material on orders in kit form to ease and aid efficient assembly for our customers.

Oxy cutting services

  • Through our range of flexible oxy cutting plate processing services, we provide our customers with a wide selection of steel cutting options to meet requirements. 
  • Our oxy cutting services are particularly effective for steel plate, as they provide a reliable yet economical steel plate processing option perfect for most applications. 
  • Our teams assist many of our customers in manufacturing, transport and automotive, defence, infrastructure and agriculture with shape generation using CAD/CAM. Our steel plate services are ideal for their heavy gauge steel plate needs. 

Bevel, drilling & etching

  • Bevelling: We provide bevelling services, often used as a welding preparation procedure,  providing an angled edge (often used when the plate needs to be rolled into a final shape).
  • Drilling: We can assist with pre-drilling holes into steel plates to improve efficiency in the fabrication process for your project.
  • Etching: We can aid with etching, which is the process of lightly scratching the surface of the steel to create a mark with welding and other additional work that needs to be done as part of future assembly. 

Other options: include countersinking, tapping, milling, punching, hard stamping, and pin marking.
