Common Tempers for Sheets & Plates
-
O: Annealed (softest, best for deep drawing).
-
H111: Some work hardening from shaping (e.g., leveling) but essentially soft.
-
H22: Work-hardened and partially annealed to "quarter-hard."
-
H24: Work-hardened and partially annealed to "half-hard."
Applications
-
Marine: Ship hulls, decks, and fishing equipment due to salt-water resistance.
-
Automotive: Body panels and internal structures (excellent weldability).
-
Industrial: Welded pressure vessels, chemical tanks, and food processing equipment.
-
Flooring: Frequently used for "treadplate" (checker plate) because of its durability and slip resistance.
