General description

This data sheet serves as an introduction to all the steel specifications that are generally available from

the plate mill at Mittal Steel South Africa. This data sheet does not address all the steels that Mittal Steel

South Africa produces. It merely indicates the generally available specifications. Please note that the

dimensions for all steel plates in the as rolled, normalised and quenched and tempered conditions are

described in the data sheet: Plate Mill Product Dimensions, file reference A1.3.

When a steel type is selected, reference should be made to the relevant data sheet and the original

material specification to determine the prescribed heat- treated condition for a particular thickness. This

information must be used to determine which dimensions are available.

Mittal Steel South Africa produces material of 4,5mm to 100mm thick (depending on the quality) as well

as from 900mm to 3200mm wide on the plate mill. Material thinner than 13,0mm and narrower than

1 870mm is generally produced in the hot strip mill. Mittal Steel South Africa reserves the right to select

the processing route.

Technical information on steel making practice, mechanical properties and chemical composition of the

most popular steels is available from data sheets published for these particular steels. These data sheets

should be consulted to ensure that the correct steel is selected for each application.

Steel types

The maximum thickness of all steel types in Tables 1 to 5 is also a function of ultrasonic test requirements.
