Many people will mix strip steel and steel plate together, which can usually be distinguished from the following points. First of all, the thickness of the steel plate is much thicker, and the thinner the strip steel is required, the better. Secondly, in appearance, the steel strip can be crimped and the steel plate is too thick to bend, even if it is bent, it is difficult to recover, because it is easy to break if it is bent too much. Thirdly, the strength of S355ML material equivalent, steel plate is higher than that of strip steel. The steel plate is suitable for construction engineering, while strip steel is only suitable for processing into hardware products.
We cooperated with the Peruvian government for many years. And supply them large diameter steel pipes and pipe fittings to support their Hydropower Station Projects. We do 100% UT, RT, Hydraulic test and so on tests for the S355ML material equivalent steel pipes. And do PT, MT and so on tests for the pipe fittings. We published "Welding Procedure Qualification report" after production. And our mill will keep the test record in the documentary department for 5 years. If meet any problems in following application, we can check the test record easily and assist to solve problems at the first time.
Our team is a dynamic, but also mature and steady team. The talents are made of different ages. There are experienced ones, and also creative ones, that also makes our company culture diversified. We have complete department structure, to make the whole work procedure run smoothly. For every step, we have special person to be in charge and responsible for our customer and update information to the customer in time. So you just need not worry too much to purchase steel materials from our company.
The main function of boron in S355ML material equivalent and so on steel is to increase the hardenability of steel, so as to save other rare and precious metals, such as nickel, chromium and molybdenum. For this purpose, the boron content is generally regulated in the range of 0.001% - 0.005%. It can replace 1.6% nickel, 0.3% chromium or 0.2% molybdenum. It should be noted that molybdenum can prevent or reduce temper brittleness, while boron slightly promotes temper brittleness, so molybdenum can not be completely replaced by boron.
