About Sailma Plates

Sailma is a premium brand of high-tensile structural steel manufactured by SAIL (Steel Authority of India Limited). The name "Sailma" is derived from SAIL + MA (Micro Alloyed). These plates offer significantly higher yield strength than standard E250 MS plates while maintaining good weldability and toughness.

Why Sailma Over Standard MS?

💪 Higher Strength

40–80% higher yield strength means thinner plates can carry the same load — saving weight and cost.

🔧 Good Weldability

Low carbon equivalent ensures standard welding procedures work without pre-heating.

❄️ Impact Toughness

HI (High Impact) grades maintain toughness at sub-zero temperatures for cold-climate applications.

📄 Full Certification

SAIL provides detailed MTCs with chemical composition and mechanical test results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Sailma 350 and E350?

They are equivalent grades. Sailma 350 is SAIL's brand name for IS 2062 E350 grade steel. Other mills sell it as E350 (JSW), or use their own brand names.

Do you stock Tiston plates?

Yes. Tiston is SAIL's abrasion-resistant plate. We stock Tiston 400 and Tiston 450 in common thicknesses (8–50mm). For other thicknesses, mill-direct procurement takes 2–3 weeks.

Can Sailma plates be used for pressure vessels?

No. Sailma is a structural grade (IS 2062). For pressure vessels, you need IS 2002 or IS 2041 boiler quality plates which have specific requirements for elevated temperature service.

Need Sailma or Special Grade Plates?

We stock Sailma 350, 410, Boiler quality, and Tiston. Pan-India delivery.
