As we source from premium Great Lakes steel plate manufacturers, ECONSTEEL has established a network as a steel plate distributor that makes it easy for companies to get the materials they need. This page details ECONSTEEL's available cutting methods for hot-rolled steel, the different grades or finishes, typical applications, and our growth as a hot rolled steel plate supplier throughout the Great Lakes region. 

Our Precision Cutting Services

At ECONSTEEL, our rolled steel plate-cutting services can offer extremely tight tolerances on both single orders and high-volume orders.

Flame Cutting

Our oxyfuel-cutting services are notably affordable for mild to low alloy steel. We have 2 flame-cutting tables in-house and can flame-cut steel plates up to 12" thick. With a table capacity of 10' x 42', we can produce multiple parts at a time.

Plasma Cutting

With plasma cutting, our team can achieve incredibly tight tolerances that cannot be achieved through flame cutting. Our in-house plasma cutting table can plasma cut up to 1" thick, and it's compatible with a wide range of materials including high-alloy steels, stainless steel, mild steel, and aluminum.

Hot-Rolled Steel Plate Options at ECONSTEEL

With our extensive cutting services, our hot-rolled steel plates can be classified by their size, flatness, and edge type (mill or trimmed). At our facility, we can cut hot rolled steel plates to any size or shape including products that are not oversized as rolled steel often is. Our steel plates can run up to 0.01" underside with tolerances over the requested size dependent on the plate's thickness. Our standard sizes are 4' x 8', 4' x 10', 5' x 8', 8' x 10', and 8' x 20', though 5', 6', or 7' widths may be available too depending on the plate's thickness. With our capabilities, we can provide hot rolled steel plates with thicknesses ranging from 3/16" to 22".

  • A36
  • 1015
  • 1045

Steel Plate Finishing & Processing Techniques

  • Pickling and oiling (P&O)
  • Annealing
  • Quenching and tempering (Q&T)
  • Normalizing
  • Stress-relieving
  • Shot blasting

Applications of Our Hot Rolled Steel

As an experienced steel plate distributor, we have worked with PA, NY, and OH companies across various industries that implement hot rolled steel into their manufacturing or fabrication projects. Since hot-rolled steel is cost-effective while still boasting structural integrity, it can be suitable for any application requiring a considerable amount of material without worrying about tight tolerances. Some common applications include the following:

  • Shipbuilding
  • Machine building
  • Agricultural equipment
  • Construction projects
  • Miscellaneous fabrication projects
  • Material handling
  • Automotive parts

As the manufacturing industry grows, companies throughout PA, NY, and OH benefit from having a reliable steel plate manufacturer as an integral part of their production process. The Great Lakes region has been a center for automotive manufacturing for decades, but that's only part of the story. Ohio automotive assembly plants produce products for juggernauts like Chrysler, Ford, Honda, and GM while manufacturing has shown signs of growth in New York State. As more opportunities arise for manufacturers to take advantage of economic growth, there's a greater need for a premium steel plate supplier like ECONSTEEL.
