Q: What should we pay attention to before purchasing steel plates?

Steel plates generally come from two sources: steel mills and distributors. There are also various purchasing channels. When purchasing steel plates, pay attention to information such as the year of production, plate markings, furnace batch number, and whether there are material certificates. Ensure the steel plates are free of bubbles, cracks, and damage.

1. Check the supplier: First, check if the supplier is legitimate. Their sourcing channels should be clear. Some steel may be very cheap, but the quality is questionable. Choose a reputable supplier; don't just look at the price, but also pay attention to the quality of the steel plate.
2. Check the factory certificate: You need to see the manufacturer's factory certificate and steel plate acceptance certificate. Reputable factories can usually provide these. You can also request necessary material certificates from the supplier.
3. Check the contract: Next, check the contract between both parties. Specifications, models, production batches, and other details should be clearly stipulated in the contract. The contract is a strong bargaining chip if any problems arise during the acceptance of the steel plates.
