Download catalogue/product range

Not all steel plates are the same. Flatness, stress relief and surface cleaning are factors that mark the difference in the following transformation processes, especially in the most demanding thicknesses and grades.

When we talk about high-performance steel, we mean that:

  • It is ideal for the latest-generation laser cutting
  • It has maximum flatness and stress relief
  • It is clean and has an excellent surface finish
  • It has high yield strength: up to 1500 mpa
  • Own ecological pickling system
  • High thickness: up to 50 mm
  • Capacity to cut 2 m wide plates
  • Capacity to process lengths greater than 18 m

03. Abrasion resistant and anti-wear steels

Characteristics

Abrasion and impact resistant steels are hardened steels and, due to their high hardness and excellent mechanical properties, they enable the useful life of equipment to be extended.

Grades

Each manufacturer has its own design for abrasion resistant and anti-wear steels, therefore a prior consultation is necessary due to the particularities of each brand.

Hardness

DD11, DD12, DD13, DD14

05. Steels for quenching and tempering (boron steels)

Characteristics

Alloyed steel with a low percentage of boron which provides high hardenability. It is a soft steel in the supplied condition, so it provides excellent formability before hardening and high wear resistance properties after thermal treatment.

Grades

EN ISO 683-2 Steels for quenching and tempering.

20MnB5, 30MnB5, 39MnB5
27MnCrB5-2, 33MnCrB5-2, 39MnCrB6-2
* Enquire about other grades

06. EN-10025-5 Structural steels with improved atmospheric corrosion resistance (Corten steel).

Characteristics

Due to their chemical composition, these steels are suitable for work in corrosive environments. Their selected chemical content enables them to withstand different environmental impacts. Due to their composition, they form a patina on the surface which blocks or slows the appearance of corrosion.

Grades

EN-10025-5 Structural steels with improved atmospheric corrosion resistance (Corten steel).

S355J0WP, S355J2WP
S355J0W, S355J2W, S355K2W

07. High carbon content steels

Characteristics

These are steels with a carbon content greater than 0.32%, which makes them highly suitable for thermal hardening treatment to give high hardness.

Their application is in agricultural machinery, tools, etc.

Grades

EN ISO 683-1 Non-alloy steels for quenching and tempering.

C35, C40, C45,
C55, C60
* Enquire about other grades

08. Steels for pressure vessels and boilers

Characteristics

The main characteristic of these steels is their capacity to withstand pressures at high, medium and low temperatures.

They have good weldability, excellent resilience and good forming capability.

They are suitable for normalising and annealing treatments for stress relief (treatments that neutralise the local hardening produced after welding).

09. Hot rolled steels with anti-slip relief

Characteristics

These steels have a surface relief in the form of grooves or teardrops which gives them anti-slip properties when dry, greasy or wet.

Anti-slip steels are extremely hard wearing and impact resistant.

Grades

The standard covers all structural steel grades: EN-10025-2, EN-10025-3, EN-10025-4, and EN-10025-5

10. Industrial steel for laser cutting

Characteristics

These are steels hot rolled by discontinuous process, with high thicknesses and specially treated for laser cutting.

We have plates with thicknesses from 30 mm to 50 mm and formats up to 2000 mm in width and 8000 mm maximum length.

Grades

The industrial steel for laser cutting is manufactured in practically all the grades, therefore it is advisable to consult us in advance, although the most common grades are those listed in standard EN-10025-2.

High Thickness

To further enhance our offering in this product area, we have added industrial plates up to 50mm thick, suitable for laser cutting, with an improved surface finish.

This joins our range of hot rolled and pickled steel from coil, where we currently process up to 25 mm in thickness and up to 2000 mm in width.

We continue adding new thicknesses and grades in order to adapt to the growing needs of our customers, please make an inquiry HERE for any need that you may have in this regard.

High Yield (HY) Strength steels

At Aceros Ormazabal, we want to highlight our high yield strength steels: that is, steels of a grade higher than S500 N/mm2 and up to S960 by standard or higher and up to 1500 mpa according to manufacturer’s certification.

High yield strength steels are those that have a high capacity to withstand forces without permanently deforming. Their mechanical properties are greater than other steels.

Thanks to these characteristics, thinner steel parts can be designed and manufactured that are stronger and lighter.

Available in: Structural steels
Low alloy (microalloyed) high yield strength steels
Abrasion resistant and anti-wear steels

Green Steel

At Aceros Ormazabal, we work with our suppliers in order to make what is called green steel available to our customers. Green steel is produced by reducing CO2 emissions to a minimum thanks to the use of renewable energies.

If you’re interested in our more sustainable products, we invite you to inquire about their availability HERE.
