Alloy Steel Plate

Alloy steel plate is flat rolled steel blended with Cr, Mo, Mn, Ni and other alloy elements, far exceeding ordinary carbon steel in strength, high-temperature stability and wear resistance. Manufactured by hot rolling, quenching & tempering. Custom thickness, width and cutting services are available, widely adopted in pressure vessels, heavy machinery, petrochemical and construction fields for high-load & harsh-environment components.

Available Grades

① A387 Gr11 Cl.2 (Cr-Mo boiler alloy plate)

Chromium-molybdenum heat-resistant alloy steel, stable under 500℃ high temperature and high pressure. Mainly used for boiler drums, heat exchangers and oil pipeline pressure vessels in power & petrochemical industries.

② A514 Grade S (Ultra-high strength quenched & tempered plate)

Premium low-alloy QT steel with tensile strength above 690MPa, excellent low-temperature impact toughness and good weldability. Ideal for heavy truck frames, offshore platform structures and high-load bridge girders.

③ 4140 / 42CrMo4 (Cr-Mo structural alloy plate)

Medium carbon alloy steel with outstanding hardenability and wear resistance after heat treatment. Suitable for gear blanks, mold base plates, hydraulic equipment and heavy machinery structural parts.

④ S355J2 (Low alloy high-strength structural plate)

Economical universal alloy plate, guaranteed -20℃ low-temperature impact performance. Widely used in building steel structures, ship hulls and general engineering load-bearing components.

⑤ S690QL (Super high-strength low-temperature alloy plate)

Yield strength ≥690MPa, stable impact toughness at -40℃. Preferred for wind tower flanges, mining equipment and mobile construction machinery requiring lightweight & high load capacity.

Product Features

  • Superior mechanical strength: Higher yield & tensile strength than carbon steel, supports heavy load without deformation.
  • Excellent temperature resistance: Cr-Mo grades maintain stable performance under continuous high temperature; low-alloy grades avoid brittle fracture in cold environments.
  • Good machinability & weldability: Balanced alloy composition supports cutting, bending, forging and standard welding processes.
  • Strong wear & fatigue resistance: Alloy grain refinement extends service life for dynamic-load working parts.
  • Strict dimensional precision: Controlled rolling tolerance, customizable size to reduce secondary processing cost.

Applications

  • Petrochemical & Power EquipmentCr-Mo alloy plates manufacture high-pressure boilers, heat exchangers and reaction tanks, resisting high heat & medium corrosion in oil refineries and power plants.
  • Heavy Mining & Construction MachineryHigh-strength grades make excavator arms, crane beams and mining vehicle chassis, bearing repeated impact and heavy field loads.
  • Offshore & Marine EngineeringLow-temperature tough alloy plates build ship hulls, offshore platform supports, adapting to seawater and cold ocean climate.
  • Bridge & Building StructureS355/S690 series for bridge girders, high-rise load-bearing frames, balancing structural safety and self-weight reduction.
  • Mold & Mechanical Processing Parts4140/42CrMo plates serve mold substrates, gear blanks and hydraulic valve blocks, delivering long-term wear resistance after heat treatment.

Product Advantages

  • Longer service lifespan: Alloy reinforcement cuts equipment replacement frequency, lowering clients’ long-term operation costs.
  • Lightweight structural design: Higher strength allows thinner plate thickness, reducing overall equipment weight and transportation expense.
  • One-stop customization: Free cutting, heat treatment and surface processing, saving clients extra outsourcing processing fees.
  • Stable batch consistency: Strict mill inspection & full chemical/mechanical test reports, avoiding on-site assembly failure risks.
  • Wide grade coverage: Cover low-cost structural to high-temperature pressure vessel grades, matching different project budget demands.
