High Tensile Steel Plates for Automotive & Trailer Manufacturing
What are High Strength Steel Plates for Trailers & Vehicles?
Hindustan Steel Corporation supplies specially engineered high tensile steel plates for the automotive and trailer industry. These plates are designed to handle dynamic loads, weight reduction targets, fuel efficiency, and frame rigidity for everything from chassis to tankers to tippers.
Our offerings include hot-rolled structural grades like S355J2+N and IS 2062 E350BR, as well as advanced high-strength steels like S700MC, NAXTRA 70, and Weldox 700—ideal for OEMs, fleet manufacturers, and commercial vehicle fabricators.
High-strength plates are extensively used across the automotive and trailer spectrum:
Lightweight yet tough, our plates enable structural integrity without overburdening payload capacity—critical in modern logistics and commercial mobility.
Grades like S700MC or NAXTRA 70 offer minimum yield strength of 700 MPa with excellent elongation and impact resistance. Our E350BR and S355J2+N plates, while slightly lower in strength, are extremely weldable and formable.
| Grade | Yield Strength (min) | Elongation | Notch Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| E350 BR | 350 MPa | 22% | >27J @ -20°C |
| S355J2+N | 355 MPa | 20–22% | >27J @ -20°C |
| S700MC | 700 MPa | 12–14% | >40J @ -40°C |
| NAXTRA 70 | 700 MPa | 10–12% | >50J @ -20°C |
| Weldox 700 | 700 MPa | 10% | >40J @ -40°C |
Our plates comply with clean steel chemistry, ensuring reduced sulfur/phosphorus, consistent grain structure, and compatibility with forming, welding, and CNC machining.
| Element | Max Content (Typical) |
|---|---|
| Carbon (C) | 0.20% – 0.22% |
| Manganese (Mn) | 1.5% – 1.6% |
| Silicon (Si) | 0.45% max |
| Sulfur (S) | 0.015% max |
| Phosphorus (P) | 0.020% max |
We supply plates conforming to global auto-grade norms such as:
Looking for Japanese equivalents? We can offer JFE-HITEN or imported Domex-based alternatives for exact match projects.
Plates like S700MC and NAXTRA 70 are supplied in quenched and tempered or thermomechanically rolled condition—ensuring excellent cold forming and weldability. Preheating may be required above 20 mm thickness.
We don’t just supply plates—we partner with India’s top vehicle body builders and export-ready trailer manufacturers. Benefits include:
We export auto-grade plates to:
Use this quick guide:
| Use Case | Suggested Grade |
|---|---|
| Fuel Tanker Chassis | S355J2+N / E350 BR |
| Heavy Duty Trailer Frame | S700MC / NAXTRA 70 |
| Tipper & Dumper Body | Weldox 700 / S690QL |
| Bus Platform | SAILMA 410 / E250 |
All plates come with:
Yes, it offers a perfect balance of strength and workability for flatbed and bulk trailer frames.
Weldox 700 or S690QL provide excellent resistance to impact and load fatigue—ideal for dumpers.
Yes, it’s highly weldable and ideal for moderate stress applications like tankers and containers.
Yes. We work with India’s largest trailer fabricators and export to GCC OEMs.
Yes. All structural grades come with CE marking, UT testing, and mill TC.
Stock plates are dispatched in 2–4 working days. Custom sizes in 5–7 days.
Yes, we offer low MOQ support for urgent or pilot projects.
Prices vary based on size, finish, and destination. Contact us for real-time rate.
Both are similar; Domex is a branded import while S700MC is a European-grade generic.
6 mm to 16 mm is commonly used based on axle load and frame design.
Yes. Surface can be blasted, primed, or galvanized as per client need.
Yes, CNC and laser cutting are available as value-added services.
Absolutely. We provide both along with export packing & dispatch photos.
