Steel Plate Products

Many industrial grade projects can reap the benefits of hot rolled steel plate to meet their demands for strength, durability, and a solid foundation. Hot rolled plate can speed up your project that is getting bogged down by long lines for casting and styro design at foundries, as well as keep your costs down when a cast product is overkill for your application. Read on below to see how we can use our hot rolled plate products and services to fulfill your project.

Flame Cut, Hot Rolled Steel

Using CAD / CAM plasma and oxy-fuel cutting machines, we burn steel plate to shape from raw plate. With 4 tables, we can cut plate up to 10' x 40' x 13". Also, we stock multiple thicknesses of 4140 steel plate on-site, can order to fit your application and do our own annealing; all of which enables us to provide fast delivery and low prices.

Applications:

• earth moving and construction equipment
• alternative energy structures and components
• oil rigs and platforms
• military and defense projects
• die sets and kits for sheet metal stamping dies
• concept, prototype and private use pieces
• other miscellaneous, industrial grade applications

Blanchard Grinding and Machining

After burning, we machine, plane, drill and tap the raw steel shapes into functional pieces with grinding and machining.

Along with standard CNC milling and machining, we can improve the raw steel’s flatness and parallelism with our Blanchard grinders. Capable of grinding up to 128" diagonally, we have 5 machines on-site to grind plate to customer specified thicknesses.

Welding and Fabricating

Over the years, we have had thousands of successful weld and fabrication applications under our belt. Improving accuracy, we use our Arc Writer during the burning process to plot out the exact position for details from the CAD data before we weld with sub-merged arc or MIG.

Using our heat treating / stress relieving oven, we can preheat steel before the weld process. This allows the weld to penetrate deep into the product and not be shocked by the ambient temperature of cold steel, resulting in a slower set for a stronger weld.

Steel Stress Relieving, Annealing and Media Blasting

Once our assemblies are welded, we can properly heat treat and anneal the steel and weldments with our in-house oven. Capable of handling pieces 8' x 10' x 24', and temperatures up to 1,500°F, we also use our oven to preheat steel before welding for more durable applications.

After stress relieving and annealing, we can also treat steel plate products with our media shot blasting booth. Clearing away sediment and slag, the media blast treatment will leave the piece with a clean surface that is suitable for painting and further processing.
