*Guaranteed Minimum Yield 260-280 MPa
AS/NZS 1594-HA250
270-340 MPa (Yield)
*Guaranteed Minimum Yield 250 MPa
This steel which can also be referred to as Tread plate is used widely for platforms and walkway areas where extra grip and stability is required. Not to be confused with Chequer plate which is a light- weight Aluminium alternative.
Typical Applications include:
BOILER PLATE
SA/AS 1548 PT460NR
290-470 MPa (Yield)
470-550 MPa (Tensile)
*Guaranteed Minimum Tensile 460 MPa
A High strength Carbon Manganese steel typically used for pressure vessel applications, this steel can also be modified to suit low temperature environments. PT460NR is easy to weld and form and is available in a wide range of sizes and thicknesses.
Another alternative to PT460NR is the SA516-70 American grade of pressure vessel steel.
Typical Applications include:
STAINLESS STEEL
304/L
UNS S30400, UNS S30403
240 MPa (Yield) 0.2% Proof
149 HB (Typical)
300 series Austenitic Grade with Excellent Weldability and forming in a wide range of applications. The 304 grade exhibits good Corrosion resistance.
Typical Applications include:
316/L
UNS S31600, UNS S31603
290 MPa (Yield) 0.2% Proof
149 HB (Typical)
Popular “Marine” grade of Stainless from the 300 series Austenitic family. The 316 grade provides Excellent Weldability and forming. Added Molybdenum provides a superior corrosion resistance to a wider range of chemicals than the 304 grade.
Typical Applications include:
3CR12 / 5CR12
EN 1.4003, UNS S40977, UNS S41003
330 MPa (Yield) 0.2% Proof
180 HB (Typical)
These grades are known as Utility Stainless Steels from the Ferritic family. Both grades are easily welded and formed.
3cr12 & 5cr12 provide good Abrasion resistance in wet environments with limited corrosion resistance.
Typical Applications include:
ALUMINIUM
5005
O Temper
35 MPa (Yield) 0.2% Proof
H32 Temper
85 MPa (Yield) 0.2% Proof
H34 Temper
105 MPa (Yield) 0.2% Proof
The 5005 grade of aluminium is a general utility 0.8% Magnesium alloy grade that can be used in a wide range of applications. The 5005 grade exhibits good weldability and formability. Machining of the grade improves in the higher tempered versions. The addition of Magnesium increases the strength of the 5000 series Alloys.
Typical Applications include:
5052/5251 TREAD PLATE
These popular 5000 series 2-2.5% Magnesium alloy plates exhibit 5 bar raised patterns on one side and are available in both grades 5052 and 5251. They can be used in safety areas as well as decorative applications.
Typical Applications include:
5083
O Temper
115-200 MPa (Yield) 0.2% Proof
H32 Temper
215 MPa (Yield) 0.2% Proof
H116 Temper
215 MPa (Yield) 0.2% Proof
The Alloy 5083 grade of aluminium is a high strength grade with 4½% Magnesium. The product is easy to weld, however it is harder to form and machine due to the high strength. The product exhibits excellent Corrosion resistance and is well known for its use in Marine environments.
Typical Applications include:
