Carbon Steel Plates
PVS Metals carries an extensive supply of Carbon Steel Plates in a variety of grades, thicknesses and sizes.
Structural Grade
- ASTM A-36 is a structural quality carbon steel plates for use in welded or bolted construction of bridges and buildings, and for general structural purposes. Minimum yield strength of 36 ksi (250 MPa) is required to meet the requirements of A36. ASTM A36 plate is used in a variety of applications, which include, but are not limited to: railroad cars, trucks, agriculture equipment, trailers, construction equipment, buildings and bridges.
High Strength/Low Alloy
High-strength low-alloy steel (HSLA) is a type of alloy steel that provides greater resistance to corrosion than carbon steel. HSLA steels are not made to meet a specific chemical composition but rather to specific mechanical properties.

High Strength Quenched & Tempered
- ASTM A514 plate is a quenched and tempered alloy steel utilized in structural applications requiring high strength combined with good formability and toughness. A514 has minimum yield strength of 100ksi (690MPa) and can be ordered with supplemental Charpy V-notch impact test requirements. A514 plate is used in a variety of structural applications, including: transport trailers, construction equipment, crane booms, mobile man-lifts, agricultural equipment, heavy vehicle frames and chassis and welded bridge structural members. Charpy V-Notch Impact Toughness requirements may be ordered as a supplementary requirement.
– Available in Gr B, Gr E, Gr F, Gr H and Gr S.
Ultra High Strength Quenched & Tempered
- 130KSI – 130K material is an ultra-high strength quenched and tempered alloy plate with a very high strength and low temperature toughness (ductility). It also exhibits enhanced corrosion protection when compared to carbon steel plate. The structural alloy provides the opportunity to reduce component weight by offering a high strength to weight ratio. 130K ultra-high strength alloy plate is used in a variety of applications, including: mining equipment, shredders, bridges, buckets, forestry equipment, transport trailers, construction equipment, crane booms, mobile man-lifts, agricultural equipment, heavy vehicle frames and chassis.
Abrasion Resistant
- AR200/AR235 is an as-rolled, carbon steel plate with a nominal hardness of between 180-235 HBW, intended for moderate wear applications. AR200/AR235 is available as cut-to-length plate and discrete plate. AR200/AR235 is not intended for structural applications. Typical applications for AR200/AR235 steel plate include cement mixer drums and fins, bulk material handling chute liners, skirt board liners, and screw conveyers.
- AR400F is an abrasion resistant specialty carbon steel plate product specifically designed for service applications that require both wear resistance and impact toughness. It is an excellent solution if you are looking for a superior combination of hardness, abrasion resistance, formability, weldability, toughness and flatness. AR400F plate is designed with a through thickness Brinell hardness range of 360-444 and a nominal hardness of 400BHN. AR400F plate is used in equipment subject to abrasive wear. Applications for AR400F include truck beds, crushers, hoppers, buckets, chutes, bulldozers, conveyor troughs, bulldozers, concrete mixer drums and excavators.
- AR450F is an abrasion resistant specialty plate product specifically designed for service applications that require both wear resistance and impact toughness. It is an excellent solution if you are looking for a superior combination of hardness, abrasion resistance, formability, weldability, toughness and flatness. AR450F plate is designed with a through thickness Brinell hardness range of 430-480 and a nominal hardness of 450BHN. AR450F has similar chemistry to and shares many physical characteristics with AR400F, but features slightly higher hardness levels. AR450F plate is used in equipment where resistance to sliding abrasion is critical. Industries requiring AR450F include heavy construction, raw material handling, mining, aggregate, road building, scrap processing, demolition, forestry and oil and gas exploration.
- AR500F is an abrasion resistant specialty plate product specifically designed for service applications that require both wear resistance and impact toughness. It is an excellent solution if you are looking for a superior combination of hardness, abrasion resistance, formability, weldability, toughness and flatness. AR500F plate is designed with a through thickness Brinell hardness range of 470-530 and a nominal hardness of 500BHN. AR500F plate is used in equipment where resistance to sliding abrasion is critical. Product applications requiring AR500F include dump bodies, conveyors, crushers, hoppers, chutes, pavers, gears, rock hammers, screens, grapples, knives and shovels.
