Hot Rolled Steel Sheets (Black Steel Sheets)

Hot Rolled Steel Sheet & Plate – S235 / S275 / S355 HR Steel Sheet and HR Steel Plate Supplier

Hot rolled steel sheet and hot rolled steel plate are the backbone of modern steel construction, structural fabrication and heavy industry. Produced by rolling slab or billet at high temperature, HR steel sheet and HR steel plate develop a characteristic black mill scale on the surface, which is why they are also known as black steel sheet and black steel plate.

HL Metal supplies mild steel hot rolled sheet and hot rolled steel plate in EN 10025 S235, S275 and S355 grades, with a wide range of thicknesses and dimensions for both sheet and plate. From thin hot rolled sheet metal used in general fabrication to thick hot rolled steel plate (10–100 mm) for heavy machinery, we offer a complete hot rolled steel sheet and plate stock range for domestic and international projects.

As an export-oriented hot rolled steel sheet supplier and hot rolled steel plate supplier, HL Metal supports construction companies, steel fabricators, OEM manufacturers and distributors with competitive hot rolled steel sheet prices and hot rolled plate prices per ton, flexible logistics and mill test certificates.

Hot Rolled Steel Sheet Chemical Properties

Standard hot rolled carbon steel sheet and hot rolled steel plate in EN 10025 S235, S275 and S355 are non-alloy structural steels with controlled chemical composition. This optimized chemistry ensures excellent weldability and robust mechanical properties for construction and structural applications.

Typical Chemical Composition (max. % by weight)
  • S235 – C ≤ 0.22, Mn ≤ 1.60, P ≤ 0.040, S ≤ 0.040
  • S275 – C ≤ 0.25, Mn ≤ 1.60, P ≤ 0.040, S ≤ 0.040
  • S355 – C ≤ 0.27, Mn ≤ 1.70, P ≤ 0.040, S ≤ 0.040

Exact limits depend on thickness and delivery condition. For detailed hot rolled steel sheet chemical properties and a full hot rolled steel plate datasheet EN 10025, our team provides mill certificates (EN 10204 3.1) on request.

Hot Rolled Steel Sheet Mechanical Properties – S235 / S275 / S355

Hot rolled steel sheet mechanical properties and hot rolled steel plate mechanical properties are defined in EN 10025. Yield strength, tensile strength and elongation vary slightly with thickness and steel grade.

Grade S235 (hot rolled steel sheet and plate)
Standard EN 10025
Yield Strength (Re) ≥ 235 MPa (for t ≤ 16 mm)
Tensile Strength (Rm) 360–510 MPa
Elongation (A) ≥ 26%
Weldability Excellent weldability for structural fabrication

Higher strength grades such as S275 steel plate and S355 steel plate offer increased yield strength for weight-optimized structures. This makes high strength hot rolled steel plate a preferred choice in crane construction, heavy machinery and high-load frames.

Hot Rolled Steel Sheet vs Cold Rolled Steel Sheet

When choosing between hot rolled steel sheet and cold rolled steel sheet, it is important to understand the differences in production route and final properties:

  • Hot rolled steel sheet
    Produced at high temperature, with a slightly rough surface and mill scale. Ideal for structural applications, welded fabrications, base plates, and general construction where aesthetics and tight tolerances are not the primary focus.
  • Cold rolled steel sheet
    Rolled at lower temperature after pickling, providing superior surface finish, tighter thickness tolerances and improved dimensional accuracy. Often used where forming quality and surface appearance are critical.

If you require a smoother surface and tighter tolerances after pickling, consider HRP sheet (hot rolled pickled steel sheet) . For even finer surface quality, our cold rolled steel sheet range may be the better option. For projects exposed to aggressive environments, galvanized steel sheet offers superior corrosion resistance.

Applications – Construction, Structural and Fabrication Uses

Hot rolled steel sheet for construction and hot rolled steel sheet for structural applications are used in a wide range of projects:

  • Building and civil construction: base plates, gusset plates, stiffeners, hot rolled steel sheet for structural applications in beams and columns.
  • Bridges and infrastructure: orthotropic deck plates, stiffened plates, bracings.
  • Industrial buildings & warehouses: platforms, mezzanines, hot rolled steel plate for structural fabrication in frames and supports.
  • Heavy machinery & equipment: hot rolled steel plate for machine building, crane components, chassis, counterweights, machine beds.
  • General fabrication: tanks, silos, hoppers, welded structures, hot rolled sheet metal for construction and industry in various thicknesses.

For hot rolled plate for heavy machinery manufacturing, S355 and higher strength grades help reduce section sizes while maintaining load capacity, contributing to lighter yet robust designs.
