Hindustan Steel Corporation presents HIND DSQ Plates, engineered specifically for acid-resistant fabrication like pickling tanks, acid storage vessels, electroplating units, and lined process tanks. Made from Dead Soft Quality steel, these plates are ideal for environments where acid contact, corrosion risk, and forming challenges intersect.
Whether you’re handling hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, or ferric chloride, our DSQ plates are lamination-free, bendable, and perfect for rubber, FRP, or PVC lining — ensuring safety, durability, and formability.
Not all mild steel plates can withstand acidic conditions. HIND DSQ plates are made with:
These properties make HIND DSQ a reliable base material for tanks and vessels that are later lined, coated, or shielded for acid applications.
These applications need smooth forming, perfect welding, and lining compatibility — all of which HIND DSQ delivers.
| Parameter | Value |
| Yield Strength | 200 – 250 MPa |
| UTS | 310 – 410 MPa |
| Elongation | ≥ 25% |
| Surface Hardness | < 100 BHN |
| Lamination Level | Zero / QC passed |
| Carbon Content | < 0.20% |
| Standard | IS 8917:1978 compliant |
These values ensure low internal stress, reduced acid attack risk, and seamless bonding with liners like FRP, PVDF, HDPE, and lead.
HIND DSQ complies with IS 8917, the Indian BIS standard for mild steel plates meant for cold-forming and post-lining usage.
Compared to structural grades like IS 2062, IS 8917 ensures:
That’s why IS 8917-based DSQ is ideal as a base metal for acid-resistant tanks.

We also supply custom pre-formed tank shapes to save fabrication time.
HIND DSQ is designed for:
It reduces risk of stress cracking, delamination, and acid seepage — key risks with lower-grade mild steel.
🧰 Before Lining
→ Shot blast or acid clean the DSQ surface for best liner bonding.
🧰 During Forming
→ Maintain grain orientation, use smooth dies for 1T–2T bends.
🧰 Welding Tip
→ Use low hydrogen electrodes or TIG/MIG for stress-free joints.
🧰 Post-Fab QC
→ Perform vacuum leak test or hydro test before liner application.
Our team can also advise on liner compatibility, cutting, and forming sequences.
| Feature | Generic HR Plate | HIND DSQ Plate |
| Acid Resistance Base | Low | Moderate (with lining) |
| Lamination Risk | High | Zero (QC tested) |
| Bonding with FRP/Rubber Liner | May Fail | Excellent |
| Cold Forming Capability | Limited | 1T–2T radius forming |
| Surface Finish for Coating | Rough | Smooth / Clean |
