Cut to Size Steel with Bending Punching
Buying full plates to make small panels means paying freight on offcuts and storing them afterwards.
Buying full plates to make small panels means paying freight on offcuts and storing them afterwards. Tianyu Metal processes steel plate, coil and tube before shipment, so what arrives is the part list rather than raw stock your workshop still has to break down. Processing covers bending, welding, decoiling, cutting and punching, with on coil and painting or galvanizing where the product allows it. Plate is supplied from 0.1-400mm thickness in widths from 1000mm to 3500mm, which means the cutting plan starts from a sheet size close to your part rather than from whatever the yard happens to hold.
The Problem
What This Removes From Your Procurement
Paying Freight on Steel You Will Scrap
Ordering full plates to produce a handful of panels means the container carries drop across the ocean. Cut to size supply moves the offcut out of the shipment and off your yard.
Cutting Capacity Tied Up on Low Value Work
A workshop cutting plain rectangles is not welding or assembling. Moving the breakdown to the supplier frees the machines for the work that actually needs them.
Coil That Cannot Be Used Until It Is Broken Down
Coil in the wrong width or still in coil form is dead stock for a shop with no decoiling line. Decoiling before shipment turns it into usable sheet and strip.
Hole Patterns Redone by Hand on Site
Liner panels drilled on site rarely match the existing structure first time. Punching to the drawing before shipment means the panel bolts straight into the holes that are already there.
Step By Step
How We Run It
Cutting List Review at Enquiry
A cutting list sent as a sketch or a bare table of sizes leaves grain direction, edge condition and part quantities open, and the first quotation has to be redone once those come out. Give the part sizes, quantities, grade and thickness together with any drawing. We check the list against available plate widths and lengths and flag parts that will not nest cleanly before the price is set.
Quotation Based on the Nesting Not the Plate Count
Suppliers quote whole plates and leave the buyer carrying the drop. On a small panel order the scrap can dominate the invoice. The quotation works from the parts you actually need out of the sheet sizes available, using widths of 1000mm 1219mm 1500mm 1800mm 2000mm 2500mm 3000mm and 3500mm and lengths of 2000mm 2400mm 3000mm 5800mm and 6000mm, so the drop is planned rather than passed on.
Order Confirmation with Tolerances and Edge Condition Fixed
Parts arrive cut but the cut face is not what the next operation expects, so the workshop has to dress every edge before welding or bolting. The confirmation records cut sizes, hole positions, bend directions, the finish as natural or painted, and which faces matter. Anything we cannot hold is raised before production, not explained afterwards.
Decoiling and Cutting
Coil bought as coil has to be decoiled and slit somewhere, and a fabricator without a line ends up subcontracting that step and losing control of the width tolerance. Coil is decoiled and cut to sheet or slit to strip width here. Galvanized steel is supplied as slit strip in the same coating range as the coil, from G20 through G90 and Z150 Z275 and Z350, so the coating specification does not change when the width does.
Bending Punching Decoiling and Welding
Flat panels still need forming and holes. Every operation moved into the fabricator's shop is an operation competing with the work that earns their margin. Panels are bent to profile, punched for bolt and plug weld holes to your drawing and welded into sub assemblies where the design calls for it. Wear plate liners in AR400 AR500 and AR600 are commonly shipped already bent and punched ready to bolt in.
Dimensional Check Against the Cutting List
A cut package that is short by two parts or wrong on one hole pitch stops an assembly line, and the missing piece only appears when the fabricator lays the parts out. Finished parts are checked against the cutting list line by line and thickness is verified against the ordered range before packing. Quantities are counted into the packing list so the goods inward check is a comparison, not a recount.
Marking Packing and Loading
Cut parts that arrive as an unmarked stack have to be sorted and identified on the workshop floor, which is where cut panels get mixed between grades. Parts are marked and bundled by part number and grade with edge protection fitted, then loaded with the packing list, photographs taken before loading and the mill test certificate released with the shipping documents.
Deliverables
What You Receive
- Cut panels and blanks supplied to your cutting list with quantities counted per part number
- Bent formed and punched parts made to the drawing you supplied
- Slit strip or decoiled sheet in the ordered width and coating weight
- Mill test certificate issued against the ordered grade
- Packing list showing part number grade dimensions and quantity per bundle
- Photographs of the marked bundles taken before loading
Who It Is For
Buyers Who Ask For This
- Fabrication shops that want plate arriving as parts rather than as stock to break down
- Maintenance teams ordering liner and wear panels sized to an existing chute or bucket
- Roll formers and tube makers buying slit strip in a fixed width and coating weight
- Equipment builders sending a recurring cutting list for the same assembly
- Distributors serving small workshops that have no cutting or capacity
- Contractors who need parts marked and counted so site labor is not spent sorting steel

Cut to Size and Processing FAQ
What processing can you carry out before shipment?
Bending, welding, decoiling, cutting and punching are the standard processing services across plate, coil and tube. Coil is also cut to width, and surfaces are supplied natural or painted, with galvanizing available on the products that carry it.
What thickness and width can be cut?
Steel sheet runs from 0.1-400mm thickness in widths of 1000mm 1219mm 1500mm 1800mm 2000mm 2500mm 3000mm and 3500mm and lengths of 2000mm 2400mm 3000mm 5800mm and 6000mm. Wear plate and stainless sheet are cut from the 2-100mm range. Send the part sizes and we confirm what nests.
How should we present the cutting list?
A table of part number, grade, thickness, length, width and quantity is enough to price. Add the drawing where holes bends or edge condition matter, and tell us which dimension is critical so the tolerance is applied where it counts.
Can you punch bolt holes and bend the panel as well as cut it?
Yes. Wear liners are routinely bent to the chute profile and punched for bolt and plug weld holes so a maintenance crew fits the panel instead of fabricating it. Supply the hole pattern with the drawing.
Do cut parts still come with a certificate?
Yes. The mill test certificate is issued against the grade of the parent material and travels with the shipment, so cut parts stay traceable in the same way full plates would be.
Can we mix processed parts and plain plate in one shipment?
Yes. Many orders ship as cut panels for the assembly plus plain plate for the workshop to use as spares. The packing list separates the two so goods inward can book them against different lines.
