High strength low alloy or (hsla) steel plates, provide greater environmental corrosion resistance and are stronger than convention carbon steel. Hsla is also very ductile, highly formable and easy to weld. Hsla steels are not typically made to meet a certain chemical composition, instead they are known to meet specific mechanical properties. The hsla specification is intended primarily for use in structural members, where savings in weight and added durability are critical. Leeco steel carries an extensive supply of hsla steel plate in a variety of grades that meet both the us and canadian standards. Hsla can be used in truck frames, brackets, crane booms, rail cars and other comparable applications. Talk with one of our sales representatives.

Armor & ballistic steel plate is designed for a wide variety of military specifications and structural uses that require armor steel plate approved by all US departments and agencies for combat and defense applications. Armor & ballistic steel plate can be utilized in the manufacture of military vehicles, structural housings with high protection, armaments and other protective structures and varied applications. From one plate order to multi-megaton contracts, Leeco Steel is your best resource for armor & ballistic steel plate. We currently supply to a wide range of OEMs and part fabricators and are ready to serve you.

Abrasion Resistant (AR) steel plate is typically made in the as-rolled condition. These typesgrades of steel plate products have been developed specifically for long service life in harsh conditions. AR products are suitable for a variety of applications in areas such as miningquarrying, conveyors, material handling and construction, and earthmoving. Designers and plant operators choose AR plate steel when striving to extend service life of critical components, and reduce the weight of each unit put into service. The benefits of employing wear-resistant plate steel in applications involving impact andor sliding contact with abrasive material are immense. Steel plate for use in abrasive conditions is not typical because it is not governed by any ASTM code or spec. Many steel plate manufacturers produce their own brand of abrasion resistant steel and these are usually distinguished by a brand name followed by the hardness of the steel which is measured in Brinell units

Heavy steel plate is used in a variety of applications across a multitude of industries. Large fabrications and weldments using heavy steel plate are found in construction, mining, processing, production and crane equipment. The energy sector also is a primary user of heavy plate, including oil and gas, petrochem, and wind-energy applications. Leeco Steel’s Heavy Plate Division focuses on products three inches and up in thickness across all grades. As an industry leader in heavy steel plate, Leeco Steel has the inventory, cutting capabilities, sourcing and testing options needed to serve our customers. At times, tests such as Ultrasonic Testing, Charpy V-notch, or other industry-specific tests are needed. Leeco Steel can order your steel with these specs, or have them tested using local laboratories quickly and efficiently. Leeco Steel’s Heavy Plate Division has the industry knowledge that benefits our customers in order to create a true partnership for success.

Carbon plate steel’s main interstitial alloying constituent is carbon, hence the name, at a variety of concentrations. As carbon percentage content rises, steel has the ability to become harder and stronger through heat-treating. High carbon steel is very strong. Low carbon steel is more malleable and ductile and is easier to cold form. Leeco Steel maintains a solid inventory of lowhigh carbon, non structural steel plate at each of our distribution centers.

Alloy quenched and tempered (Q&T) steel plate is created with the necessary hardness and durability to be used in applications that must withstand severe impact and abrasion. Leeco Steel stocks an extensive supply of Q&T steel plate in a variety of grades that can be used in dump bodies, bucket components, mining and construction equipment, welded bridges and other construction, welded boilers, pressure vessels, hauling and lifting equipment and other structural applications where its strength can be utilized to reduce weight.
