💡 What is a HIC plate?

In sour service environments where hydrogen sulphide is present, standard carbon steel is highly vulnerable to cracking and structural failure. That is where Hydrogen-Induced Cracking (HIC) resistant plates come in. 🛠️

As explained in the video, HIC plates are specially engineered to withstand these volatile conditions, making them a critical safety and reliability component for:

🛢️ Refineries

🧪 Petrochemical plants

🌊 Offshore oil and gas applications

At Brown McFarlane, we maintain a robust stock of fully HIC-tested plates available for immediate dispatch from our hubs in both the UK and Spain.

Precision Without the Heat 💧

Have you ever wondered how to get the cleanest cut on steel without the risk of thermal distortion?

Water jet cutting is the answer. By using a highly pressurised stream of water mixed with garnet, we can cut through thick steel plates with extreme precision.

18/05/2026

In the Nuclear sector, precision and material integrity are non-negotiable.

Our water jet cutting facility offers a unique advantage: no heat-affected zone on cut edges. This ensures that the material’s hardness and weldability are preserved, meeting the rigorous standards required for nuclear applications.

At Brown McFarlane, we’re dedicated to providing high-quality, reliable steel solutions for the most demanding industries.
