Hot-rolled product families
EN-Engineering-Product-Hot-Rolled-Forming TSE
Steel for forming
Hot-rolled steel for cold forming is used for bending and deep drawing.
Tata Steel's forming grades offer consistency for reliable processing and low carbon content for excellent welding performance.
Besides grade DD11 we offer also DD12, DD13 and DD14 specify even lower chemical and mechanical levels making them perfect for deep drawing, extra deep drawing and more complex presswork.
EN-Engineering-Product-Hot-Rolled-HSS TSE
High-strength steel
Tata Steel’s hot-rolled high-strength, low-alloy (HSLA) grades offer formability and strength for demanding applications.
The range includes Ympress® with grades that outperform the Euronorm, resulting in stronger and lighter products with increased yield and simplified processing. Our Ympress Laser range was developed specifically for fast and efficient laser-cutting. The resulting clean-cut edges mean end products require less finishing.
EN-Engineering-Product-Hot-Rolled-Structural steel TSE
Structural steel
The guaranteed strength and good weldability of our hot-rolled structural steel help ensure ease of processing and reliable end product performance.
As with all our hot-rolled steel products, our structural steel is manufactured under tight controls – for consistent quality that you can depend on.
Applications
- Automotive wheel rims and chassis components
- Construction and building
- Cold formed sections
- Pressure vessels
- Transport
- Tubes and pipes
- Warehouse shelving
- Heavy vehicles equipment
EN-Engineering-Product-Hot-Rolled-Heat treatable steel TSE
Heat treatable steel
Tata Steel offers a choice of hot-rolled heat-treatable steels
Heat-treatable steels offer advantages across many applications. We exercise stringent control over chemical composition and production processes, resulting in a robust, consistent and reliable quality you can depend on.
The chemical composition of our boron manganese steel family makes it suitable for forming complex shapes. After a quench and temper step at the customer, the end product will gain its final hardness.
EN-Engineering-Product-Hot-Rolled-Valast abrasion resistant TSN
Valast®
Efficient and reliable abrasion resistant steel sheet withstands harsh wear and tear whilst maintaining lasting quality – even in the most demanding environments.
Tata Steel's Valast wear plate is available in extra-wide strip dimensions, offers consistent flatness and world‑class surface quality. Valast 400/450 is brought to you through a robust local supply chain offering reduced lead times and customised sheet lengths.
EN-Engineering-Product-Hot-Rolled-Gas cylinders TSE
Steel for gas cylinders
Tata Steel’s structural steel for gas cylinders offers excellent deep drawing properties and weldability for ease of processing.
It allows for reliable normalising of the welded gas cylinder - retaining strength that contributes to optimal safety in use.
EN-Engineering-Product-Hot-Rolled-Pressure vessels TSN
Steel for pressure vessels
Our structural steel for pressure vessels delivers excellent impact toughness and weldability.
Special grades offer guaranteed strength levels at temperatures up to 400°C and steels compliant with EN 10207 and/or EN 10028 for the manufacture of simple pressure vessels.
EN-Engineering-Product-Hot-Rolled-Ship plate TSN
Steel for ship plate
This hot-rolled structural steel offers excellent weldability for ease of processing.
We exercise stringent control over the chemical composition and mechanical properties of our ship plate – ensuring products of consistent and reliable quality for demanding marine applications.
This is proven by an approval of manufacturer from DNV-GL and Lloyds EMEA.

EN-Engineering-CaseStudies-BERGERecotrail
Using Ympress® S700MC to manufacture BERGERecotrail® semi-trailer bodies and welded-frames for the chassis delivers a number of benefits, including:
- More goods transported per journey
- Average journey numbers reduced by seven per cent
- A marked reduction in fuel consumption on journeys with lower loads
- Overall cost savings of 6.1 per cent on average
Versatility of fine-grained steel delivers major benefits
Tata Steel also handles the entire management of the supply chain for the production and delivery of a number of different gauges of Ympress S700MC. Our Tata Steel service centre in Germany – manages:
- Production of the Ympress S700MC coils and decoiling
- Needs-based stock holding and transport logistics
- Just-in-time delivery
- Transport of completed parts to the customer’s trailer production plant in Austria
Development of payload-optimisation pays dividends
One particular highlight in the design of the payload-optimised semi-trailer is the two longitudinal beams. The 13.6-metre long components are designed to be very slender and feature cut-outs in the shape of Reuleaux triangles for further weight savings, combined with a high degree of stiffness.
The laser cutting of the webbing is handled by a qualified supplier. Tata Steel functions as an intermediary between BERGERecotrail and the laser facility to ensure the material is completely satisfactory.
