The steep sides are good... It's called the angle of repose, although the metal is molten.
I've tried to find the angle of repose for iron filings, but can't find the link now or source, but 60 degrees seems to be a number from somewhere.
Also think about what you intend to cut... Stuff with coatings can give off toxic fumes (galv etc)... Hence better to use new plate than second hand... Which I know you are not but someone following this might)
