Medium and heavy carbon steel plate of 20-40mm is considered the "sturdy backbone." Its high strength and rigidity make it a preferred choice for large machinery, pressure vessels, and shipbuilding. In shipbuilding, medium and heavy plates of this thickness are used in key areas such as the keel and deck, capable of withstanding seawater pressure and wave impact, ensuring safe navigation. In pressure vessel manufacturing, they withstand high temperatures and high pressures, ensuring safe and stable industrial operations.

Medium and heavy steel plates thicker than 40mm are considered "heavy-duty." These ultra-thick plates boast exceptionally strong resistance to pressure, wear, and impact, and are commonly used in turbine rings for hydropower stations, foundations for large buildings, and in mining machinery. In hydropower station construction, they are used as a material for turbine rings, capable of withstanding the immense impact of water flow. Their use in components such as scraper conveyors and crushers in mining machinery extends equipment life and reduces maintenance costs.

From automobiles to ships, from bridges to mining machinery, medium and heavy plates of varying thicknesses, with their unique advantages, silently support the development of modern industry and have become indispensable materials driving progress across various sectors.

The above article introduces common medium and heavy plate thicknesses and their applications. If you would like additional information, such as production processes or performance specifications, please feel free to let me know.
