SAILMA Structural Steel Plates – High Strength, Low Alloy Solutions from Hindustan Steel

Table of Contents

SAILMA Structural Steel Plates are India’s trusted choice for high-tensile structural applications, engineered and supplied under the renowned SAIL (Steel Authority of India) specification. At Hindustan Steel Corporation, we offer a complete range of SAILMA grades including SAILMA 250, 300, 350, 410, 450, 550, and 650, all tested and certified for construction-grade strength, excellent formability, and superior impact resistance.

Our SAILMA plates are used across the country for infrastructure, fabrication, engineering, and defense projects where performance under stress and long service life are non-negotiable. Whether you’re building bridges, power structures, pre-engineered buildings (PEBs), or heavy vehicles, SAILMA delivers the structural backbone with confidence.

What Are SAILMA Steel Grades? | Properties, Uses, and Advantages

SAILMA refers to Steel Authority of India – Low Alloy Medium Tensile Structural Steel, formulated for optimal mechanical performance. These grades are designed with higher yield strength than conventional carbon steels and offer improved weldability, ductility, and corrosion resistance. Available in quenched and tempered, normalized, or as-rolled conditions, SAILMA plates ensure adaptability to varied fabrication and load-bearing requirements.

From SAILMA 250 for light fabrication to SAILMA 650 for heavy structural works, Hindustan Steel Corporation stocks and processes each grade in line with national and international structural codes.

Applications of SAILMA Plates in Civil, Industrial & Engineering Structures

SAILMA structural grades are used extensively in:

  • Power transmission towers & telecom structures
  • Metro rail projects & flyovers
  • PEB sheds, industrial buildings, warehouses
  • Wind turbine towers
  • Heavy machinery, mining equipment, and tipper bodies
  • Cranes, mobile bridges, and military vehicles
  • Railway wagons & fabrication units
  • Structural members in load-bearing frames

Their higher strength-to-weight ratio allows for lighter structures with enhanced safety, saving material and project costs.

SAILMA Mechanical Properties – Yield, Tensile, Elongation

Grade Yield Strength (MPa) Tensile Strength (MPa) Elongation % (min)
SAILMA 250 250 410 – 540 23%
SAILMA 300 300 470 – 600 22%
SAILMA 350 350 490 – 610 21%
SAILMA 410 410 520 – 680 20%
SAILMA 450 450 570 – 720 18%
SAILMA 550 550 600 – 750 17%
SAILMA 650 650 700 – 850 15%

Charpy V-Notch testing, impact strength at sub-zero temperatures, and third-party certification can be provided as per project requirement.

SAILMA Standards & Equivalent Grades (IS 2062, EN, ASTM)

SAILMA grades are manufactured as per BIS norms and comply with the Indian standard IS 2062 for structural steel. They also align with equivalent grades in global standards:

SAILMA Grade Indian Standard EN Equivalent ASTM Equivalent
SAILMA 250 IS 2062 E250 S235JR ASTM A36
SAILMA 350 IS 2062 E350 S355J2 ASTM A572 Gr. 50
SAILMA 450 IS 2062 E450 ASTM A572 Gr. 60
SAILMA 550/650 Q&T Steels (IS) ASTM A514 / A710 / A678

We help buyers match SAILMA to international project specs for easy procurement and documentation.

Sizes, Thickness & Plate Dimensions Available

Hindustan Steel Corporation offers cut-to-size, edge-prepped SAILMA plates in a wide range of dimensions:

  1. Thickness: 5 mm to 150 mm
  2. Width: 1250 mm to 3000 mm
  3. Length: Up to 12,000 mm (12 meters)
  4. Custom shapes: Strips, Flats, Circles, Burnt profiles (as per drawings)

All materials are tested as per IS/BIS norms and can be supplied with third-party inspection if needed (Lloyds, TUV, DNV).

Heat Treatment & Delivery Conditions

SAILMA grades are supplied in various conditions based on mechanical needs:

  • As Rolled / Normalized – SAILMA 250, 300, 350
  • Thermomechanically Rolled (TMCP) – SAILMA 410/450
  • Quenched and Tempered (Q&T) – SAILMA 550/650

Buyers can specify heat treatment conditions during RFQ to suit the weldability, strength, or notch toughness required by the application.

Fabrication Guidelines – Welding, Cutting, Machining

SAILMA plates are engineered for high weldability and fabrication ease:

  • Suitable for MIG, TIG, SAW, and manual arc welding
  • Low preheat/interpass temperature required
  • Edge preps: flame/plasma cut, sheared, or milled
  • Excellent machinability in lower grades (250–350), with higher hardness grades requiring controlled cutting parameters

We also provide ready-to-weld kits, PEB cutting profiles, and fabricated assemblies for bulk projects.
