Carbon Steel Plate
At Stellanox Steel, we specialise in manufacturing and supplying premium-grade Carbon Steel Plates engineered for strength, durability, and versatility. Known for their excellent mechanical properties and cost-effectiveness, our carbon steel plates meet stringent international standards and cater to industries such as construction, shipbuilding, oil & gas, heavy machinery, and infrastructure projects.
Available in a range of grades, thicknesses, and dimensions, Stellanox Steel’s carbon steel plates are designed to perform reliably in demanding environments while maintaining superior weldability and formability.
What are Carbon Steel Plates?
Carbon Steel Plates are flat-rolled steel sheets with a higher carbon content, providing enhanced strength and hardness compared to standard steels. Depending on the carbon concentration (low, medium, or high carbon steel), these plates offer varied levels of strength, ductility, and toughness, making them suitable for structural, pressure vessel, and general-purpose fabrication applications.
Carbon steel plates are valued for their affordability, machinability, and ability to withstand heavy loads and harsh conditions. They are often used as a foundational material in the manufacturing and construction sectors.
