H114
Tread Plate Temper
We use H114 temper for our treadplate as it offers a balance between strength, durability and formability, which makes it well suited to commercial vehicle, industrial and general fabrication applications.
H114 is a temper designation used for aluminium sheet that has undergone a patterned or embossed rolling process. H stands for strain hardening (cold working), while the 114 identifies a specific temper condition. It is not a hardness rating.
