Adjusting different steel plate mechanical properties is necessary to fit specific functions and applications. For example, the steel used in construction equipment requires much thicker and more durable properties than steel used in appliances. These features are generally improved by performing carbon reduction or introducing alloys. However, these processes aren’t always enough to create a
