Steel sheet comprises flat-rolled steel produced via plastic deformation in a hot or cold-rolling mill and by cutting hot and cold-rolled and galvanised coils into set lengths. Steel sheet is categorised into hot or cold-rolled depending on its production method, and into uncoated, galvanised and coated sheet depending on its coating. The main consumers of steel sheet are the construction and machine-building sectors
Catalog of steel sheets
Types of steel sheet and their uses
Hot-rolled steel sheet is used to manufacture structures for use in construction and machine-building; bodies, component housing and working parts on cars and assemblies; shipbuilding components; facade detailing ; doors and doorways; consumer goods; and other products.
