Hot rolled steel plates are manufactured by rolling iron blocks at a temperature of at least 900°C, which causes a reduction of thickness, thus enabling the reformation of blocks. During the process the internal structure is homogenised and re-crystallized, which improves the mechanical characteristics of steel plates. 

Plate normalisation is a special process, which takes place during the rolling procedure (normalisation or thermo-mechanical normalisation rolling). Steel plates of greater thicknesses or improved qualities have to be re-normalised after the rolling process.

Hot rolled steel plates are very endurable and have superb mechanical characteristics. They can be used for various purposes: in the production of steel constructions, vehicles, vessels, pressure tanks, tanks etc.
