Easy Machining: Simple to drill, tap, grind, cut, or bend to fit your exact project specifications.
Structural Strength: Offers excellent tensile strength and impact resistance for load-bearing
applications.Precision Square Cut: Clean, straight-cut edges make it ready for immediate layout and alignment.
Versatile Solutions for Structural and Engineering NeedsMS Plates are engineered to deliver reliable strength and adaptability for use in construction, industrial equipment, base plates, and support structures. With customizable dimensions and thicknesses ranging from 3 mm to 100 mm, they cater to a variety of application requirements. The option for precise bolt hole drilling, clean-cut edges, and tailored surface protection ensures each plate meets project specifications, all while maintaining excellent weldability and good machinability.
High Standards and Quality MaterialsManufactured from mild steel with a low carbon content (0.15-0.25%), these plates conform to recognized standards such as IS 2062, ASTM A36, and EN 10025. This results in dependable mechanical properties, including a tensile strength of 410-540 MPa and a hardness of 120-150 HB. The product's chemical composition and hot-rolled, annealed form ensure durability and ease of processing, while optional coatings offer further protection against corrosion.
FAQ's of Ms Plate:
Q: How are the bolt holes positioned on the MS plate?
A: Each MS plate is drilled with four bolt holes, one at each corner as shown in the relevant image. The hole diameter is approximately 15 mm but can be customized according to your project's requirements.
Q: What manufacturing process is used for these MS Plates?
A: The plates are produced through a hot rolling process, which enhances their workability and provides a clean, mill-finished surface. This process yields plates with excellent weldability and good machinability suited for construction and fabrication.
Q: When is it necessary to apply surface protection on MS plates?
A: Surface protection, such as painting or galvanizing, is recommended if the plates will be exposed to moisture or harsh environmental conditions. These measures help prevent corrosion, as the plates are not inherently corrosion-resistant in their standard finish.
Q: Where can MS plates be used?
A: These plates are versatile and commonly used as base plates, support structures, building frames, industrial equipment, and for general engineering repairs. Their customizable size and thickness make them suitable for a wide array of structural and fabrication projects.
Q: What benefits does the annealed temper provide for the MS plate?
A: Annealing improves the plate's ductility and toughness, making it easier to weld, cut, and machine. This temper ensures the plates can be worked into various forms and assembled efficiently on job sites.
Q: How can the dimensions and thickness of the MS plate be specified?
A: Plates are available with fully customizable length, width, and thickness. Standard widths range from 100 mm to 2000 mm, and thickness can be chosen between 3 mm and 100 mm, allowing clients to order exactly what their application demands.
Q: What standards and grades are the MS Plates manufactured to?
A: MS Plates comply with international and Indian standards such as IS 2062, ASTM A36, and EN 10025. Common material grades include IS 2062 E250 and similar equivalents, ensuring quality and reliability in structural applications.
