Carbon Steel Perforated Metal
Carbon Steel Perforated Metal & Plate
has no specified minimum quantity of any
alloying element and contains only an incidental amount of any
element other than carbon, silicon, manganese, copper, sulphur
and phosphorus.
It is the most corrosive and least expensive
of the commonly perforated metals.
Carbon steel is either referred to as Hot
Rolled, steel that underwent a rolling thickness
reduction step while hot, or Cold Rolled, where the
steel is cold reduced to the specified thickness. Cold rolling
elongates the grains of the steel in the direction of rolling,
making the steel hard and brittle. Annealing in a reducing
atmosphere recrystallizes the grains, giving the perforated
sheet steel the ductility needed for its intended use.
Hot Rolled Pickled and Oiled Hot
rolled coil or sheet steel that has been descaled of oxide
film by either a chemical method, mechanical method, or a
combination of both and oiled for corrosion protection.
The following items are generally available from stock, or with a very short delivery. It you don't see what your looking for, we can custom punch many patterns.

Hot Rolled:
|
Commercial Quality |
A
low cost steel with moderate forming and drawing qualities,
for use where finish is unimportant |
| Drawing
Quality |
This quality is
intended for uses where forming requirements are too severe
for Commercial Quality. |
| High
Strength, Low Alloy |
Good
formability because of low carbon content in combination
with relatively high yield and tensile properties permit
these steels to be used in lighter gauges to reduce weight
in applications where strength is important. Readily
weldable. |
|
Abrasion Resisting |
High manganese
content in combination with intermediate carbon greatly
enhances resistance to abrasion. Can improve part life 2 to
10 times. Moderate formability. |
|
Commercial Quality
|
Cold Rolled steels have improved surface finishes and
tighter size tolerances than Hot Rolled steels. They are
available in two classes: Class 1 is intended for
exposed applications, Class 2 is for unexposed use.
|
| Drawing
Quality |
Intended for
uses where forming requirements are too severe for
Commercial Quality. |
| Drawing
Quality Special Killed |
This steel has
special retarded aging characteristics and is recommended
for use when the material must be free of surface
disturbances without roller leveling immediately before
using and must be essentially free from significant changes
in mechanical properties over an extended period of time.
