Our coils, plates, and steel sheets play a vital role in the automotive, engineering, and construction sectors where strength, precision, and durability are important. Knowing about the manufacturing process of steel sheets helps industries choose the right material for their intended use.
Raw Material Preparation
The procedure starts with steelmaking, where raw iron is purified and alloyed to improve mechanical characteristics. This molten steel is cast into slabs using slab casting for further treatment.
Hot Rolling Steel Process
In hot rolling, slabs are heated to high temperatures and rolled through rollers to attain the required thickness. The metal is subsequently cooled in a controlled process to improve its structural strength.
Cold Rolling Steel
For thinner applications, the steel coil rolling method goes through cold rolling, enhancing mechanical strength, and surface finish. This steel hardening process improves the grain structures through recrystallization.
Finishing and Quality Control
Steel is inspected for dimensional tolerances, surface imperfections, and coating applications.

The Unified Numbering System (UNS) is a standardized system developed to classify metals and alloys, ensuring consistency across industries.
What is UNS?
The UNS is a classification system developed by ASM International and ASTM International to classify metals according to their composition. It gives a specific designation to every metal alloy so that naming and properties are consistent.
How it related to Sheets, Plates, and Coils
UNS codes specify the exact grade of alloy or steel applied in sheets, plates, and coils. Such codes ensure compatibility with worldwide quality, and manufacturing standards by standardizing material properties.
Why It’s Important
With the use of UNS codes, both manufacturers and purchasers can use the same specifications for a material, avoiding confusion and guaranteeing quality control. It ensures consistency in chemical content and mechanical properties.
Where to Find UNS Codes
UNS codes are contained within material specifications, industry datasheets, and global standards such as ASTM, ASME, and JIS to provide global market compliance.

Coil thickness is generally thinner than plate thickness and can vary depending on the rolling process. Sheets typically range from 0.3mm to 6mm, plates are 6mm to 150mm, while coils can be customized based on requirements.
The weight of steel sheets, plates, and coils can be calculated using the formula: Weight (kg) = Length (m) × Width (m) × Thickness (mm) × Density (kg/m³) For stainless steel, the density is approximately 7850 kg/m³.
The cost of 1 kg of steel sheets, plates, and coils depends on factors such as material type, grade, thickness, and market fluctuations. For the latest pricing, reach out to Silver Tubes, a reliable stainless steel sheet supplier in India.
Aluminum coils are widely used in roofing, HVAC systems, automotive manufacturing, electrical appliances, and food packaging due to their lightweight, corrosion resistance, and excellent thermal conductivity.
