WHAT MAKES OUR PLATES UNI QUE
MTCPL
Metallurgical Process:
Employing the best steel making technology and processes, Essar Steel plates contain low levels of sulphur,
phosphorous and gaseous content. Calcium treatment and inclusion shape control reduces internal discontinuities
giving plates improved toughness, enhanced fatigue life, better weldability and excellent shape properties.
TMCP- ADCO/DQ
Thermo Mechanical Controlled Processed (TMCP) with Accelerated Direct Cooling (ADCO) and Direct Quenching
(DQ) facilities offer Steel plates with improved abrasion resistance and wear performance, good formability and high
tensile strength with high toughness.
Customised Plate:
Equipped with advanced Hydraulic Automatic Gauge Control (HAGC), online Gamma Thickness Gauge and L-2
Automation, Essar Steel can supply steel plates as per actual thickness, width, length and profiles, required for
specific projects or applications.
ASTM:
L-2 automation with no manual intervention and a walking beam furnace with a powerful de-scaler ensures that the
steel plates are precision manufactured to be supplied with consistency and maintains ASTM tolerances.
Product Range:

ESSAR STEEL
Essar Steel is a global steel producer with a strong presence in intensive steel consuming markets like Asia and
North America. Its goal is to reach a global production capacity of 20 25 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) by
augmenting its current capacity of 14 MTPA. Essar Steel is a fully-integrated operation from mining to retail, with
strong downstream capability and a worldwide network of processing and retail facilities, and distribution outlets
known as Hypermarts.
Global Operations
Essar Steel Algoma in Canada has a current capacity of 4 MTPA. Essar Steel Minnesota, USA (with iron ore
reserves of over 1.4 billion tonnes) is developing a 7 MTPA pellet plant and an ore concentration plant. In
Indonesia, Essar Steel is the largest private steel processor and operates a 400,000 tonnes per annum (TPA)
cold rolling complex with a galvanising line of 150,000 TPA.
Essar Steel is the largest steel producer in western India, with a capacity of 10 MTPA at Hazira, Gujarat. The steel
plant is backed by an iron ore beneficiation and a pelletization unit that ensures supply of quality raw material.
The Essar Steel complex at Hazira has a complete infrastructure setup including a captive port, and power, lime
and oxygen plants.
It has set up a 1.5 MTPA plate mill and a 0.6 MTPA pipe mill at Hazira to make further value-additions to its

METALLURGY OF PLATE ROLLI NG
The Thermo-Mechanical Control Process (TMCP)
Through TMCP, very fine and uniform ferrite
microstructure is obtained and results in higher strength
and toughness. The plate is also less susceptible to cold
cracking and has better weldability.
Process for producing heavy plates
Concept of microstructure change during TMCP
Advantages
- Superior weldability due to lower carbon
equivalent (Ceq)
- Better formability
- Excellent mechanical properties (high strength and
toughness) attained through fine microstructure
- Shorter processing time as no heat treatment is
required
Normalising
The process of producing a stable microstructure by
heating it to the high temperature austenite and
slowly cooling it.
Advantages
- Refines and ensures homogenous structure
- Reduces residual stresses from rolling
- Reduces the risk of "banding
Quenching and Tempering
This is a conventional process used to harden or
strengthen steel. During quenching, the austenite is
converted to martensite. The quenched alloy is then
tempered at an intermediate temperature to
transform the brittle martensite into a very fine
dispersion of cementite (iron carbide) phase in an
iron ferrite matrix.
Advantages
- Increases hardness for better wear and abrasion
resistance
- Improves ductility and toughness
- Reduces cracking
- Increases impact resistance

WORLD CLASS PLATE MI LL FACI LI TI ES
Rolling Mill
High roll separating force of 10,000 tonnes, almost double compared to some of the other plate mills - generates
extremely fine grain properties on plates. The mill is supported by a fully automatic gauge controller, plan view rolling
and flatness gauge to achieve a high degree of profile, even for very thick plates.
Thermo-Mechanical Controlled Rolling (TMCR) and Accelerated Direct Cooling (ADCO)
Thermo mechanical rolling and DQ (direct quenching) equipped with ADCO facility for high strength plates - can be
used in demanding applications for the oil & gas sector and other segments.
Hot Leveller
A leveling force of 4000 tonnes, generates excellent flatness, zero distortion and an optimally adjusted even surface.
The rollers flatten plates up to 1/2 ASTM tolerance.
Shearing Units
Equipped with different types of mechanical shears such as crop shears, double side cut shears, slitting shears and
dividing shears, the Essar Steel plates can be customized to size and widths as specified by the customer. Mechanical
cutting as opposed to burning also leads to lesser heat treated zones and better utilization and yield.
Heat Treatment
Heat treatment facility with austentising, normalizing, quenching and tempering to provide desired properties of steel
plates. Furnace normalization is done in an inert atmosphere with indirect radiant type heating to ensure no scales are
formed on the surface of the plates, leading to a better yield. Quenched & Tempered facilities spray the plates with
more than 10,000 cubic metres of water in two minutes.
Ultrasonic Testing
100% ultrasonic testing is performed for plates up to 50 mm thickness using an image comparator and without any
manual intervention. To keep it perfectly aligned the testing unit is recalibrated every day. Testing of plates above
60mm thickness is done manually by an international third party inspection agency.
Marking and Traceability
All plates produced at Essar Steel are marked with unique identification mark for traceability using paint marking,
mechanical stamping and bar coding.
High-tech plate mill features with world class processes and ultra modern facilities:
10,000 tonnes of roll separating force
Thermo Mechanical Controlled Process with Accelerated Direct Cooling
4,000 tonnes of hot leveller capacity
100% online ultrasonic testing

Properties Required During Service
Generally, steel plates are hot / cold formed to desired
shape for major boilers to withstand high temperature,
pressure and adverse corrosive environments. Since
boilers and pressure vessels carry high pressure and
temperature fluids and hold low- temperature fluids, the
steel plates are required to have high strength,
toughness, ductility and corrosion resistance. Due to
high temperature applications, the steel plates should
have excellent creep resistant properties.
Mechanical Properties
- High strength
- Good low-temperature toughness
- High corrosion resistance, high resistance to HIC,
SSCC and embrittlement

toughness, through thickness properties, corrosion
and fatigue resistance, and tight dimensional
tolerances. One of the most important requirements is
toughness in the base plate and in the HAZ regions.
