The sulfur element (S element) comes from the ore and fuel coke of steelmaking. It is a harmful element in S690QL1 hardness etc. steel. Sulfur exists in steel in the form of iron sulfide (FeS). FeS and Fe form a low melting point (985℃) compound. The hot working temperature of steel is generally above 1150 - 1200℃, so when the steel is hot working, the premature melting of FeS compound causes the workpiece to crack, which is called "hot brittleness". It reduces ductility and toughness of steel and causes cracks during forging and rolling. Sulfur is also detrimental to welding performance and reduces corrosion resistance.
Compared with the traditional seamless steel pipe, alloy seamless pipe has better performance in all aspects. Because of the addition of various metal elements in the manufacturing, the overall strength of the alloy seamless pipe is larger, stronger and durable, and the service performance and service life of the S690QL1 hardness, alloy seamless pipe are improved. The alloy seamless pipe is the best choice especially for special environment and high pressure requirements. Because of its high material properties, alloy seamless pipe has good corrosion resistance. It is not easy to be corroded in some special environment, which reduces the cost of the project and has a longer service life.
ASTM A36 is a common mild steel(carbon structure steel grade). It is widely used in morden industry owning to its cheapest rolling cost and easiest welding. S690QL1 hardness, ASTM A36 mild steel is equivalent to grade Q235B under Chinese steel standard, grade S235JR under European steel standard EN 10025-2, grade SS400 in Japanese steel standard. These mild steel plates and sections are commonly bolted and riveted in structural applications.
Based on the advantages of S690QL1 hardness steel resources in domestic market and good reputation, combining with the huge international market demand for steel products, our company started the international business in 2010 and successfully being approved and certified by ISO9001:2008, the Registration number is 626014Q11531R0S. With the quality steel S690QL1 hardness products and professional service, our company was award the international acclaim from infrastructure, shipbuilding, petroleum industry etc., and gradually grow into a bright star in the steel export industry .
