High Strength Plates & Profiles has an extensive stock of high strength and abrasion resistant plate and sheet in thicknesses from 3mm to 6" thick.

We carry stock from Essar Algoma, the only Canadian producer of heat treated steel. We also carry steel in selected grades from ThyssenKrupp, SSAB, Dillinger Hutte, Evraz Claymont, Arcleor Mittal, Industeel, and Ruukki. We are the exclusive distributor for high hardness sheet from Swebor Stal for North and South America. We are the Ontario distributor for SA1750CR chrome carbide overlay plate for SAS Global Corporation.  

We order our steel to 1/2 A6 flatness or better. Some service centers accept wider variations in flatness in exchange for lower prices. We don’t buy from reject lists. We store our steel indoors. We require the surface condition of most of our steel to be shot blasted and primed, surface critical, or in some cases, coated with a rust inhibitor.

We assign each plate and offcut a unique bar coded number that preserves traceability back to the original mill test certificate. As a result, we can provide mill certificates for every order, even for processed parts. 

Buying high strength and abrasion resistant steels as generic "QT" or AR" grades obscures differences in quality between different suppliers. Our HS categories avoid this problem. With our HS categories, you get world leading quality without being restricted to specific trade names or brands, and without the risk of receiving lower quality commodity steel.

You can ask us for an HS category, an engineering specification or a specific trade name. In either case, we will provide the optimum results from a top tier producer.
